Connor Zilisch, an emerging force in racing, has secured a significant Roto-Rooter sponsorship for the 2026 season with Trackhouse Racing, further elevating his presence in the NASCAR world. This partnership, spotlighting the Connor Zilisch Roto-Rooter sponsorship, was announced as a multi-year, multi-race agreement, marking Roto-Rooter as the Official Plumbing Installation, Repair, and Replacement Services Company of Trackhouse Racing.
Longstanding Partnership Between Zilisch and Roto-Rooter
The collaboration between Zilisch and Roto-Rooter dates back to October 2024, when the driver competed in his third career NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race with JR Motorsports at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Since then, their relationship has grown stronger, paving the way for this new milestone as Zilisch prepares for his entry into the NASCAR Cup Series.
“We’re really looking forward to taking the next step into the Cup Series with Connor and Trackhouse Racing,”
said Thad Reinhard, President of Roto-Rooter Corporation.
“Connor has been a great representative for Roto-Rooter the past two seasons at JR Motorsports. He’s a great young kid and incredibly talented behind the wheel. We feel very fortunate to have this opportunity and we’re all excited for the 2026 season.”

Breakthrough Moments and Victory at Sonoma
The 2025 season saw Zilisch and Roto-Rooter unite for a memorable triumph at Sonoma Raceway in California, where Zilisch clinched victory in a hard-fought O’Reilly Auto Parts Series event. Fending off pressure from teammate Shane van Gisbergen, Zilisch secured the lead on lap 48 and maintained it over the final 32 laps of the 79-lap race. This win marked Zilisch’s first career NASCAR series victory, during which he led multiple segments and demonstrated his growing talent on the track.
Excitement Builds for 2026 Cup Series Debut
“It’s awesome to continue the relationship with Roto-Rooter into the Cup Series,”
said Cup Series rookie Zilisch.
“I’ve met a lot of great people with the company over the last two years. The win at Sonoma was really cool, and I remember how excited everyone from Roto-Rooter was in victory lane after the race. I can’t wait to grow that relationship this season.”
