Zilisch broke onto the racing scene in 2024, winning the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring in the LMP2 class in his first attempts and winning in his first career NASCAR Xfinity Series start in September at Watkins Glen International, less than two months after his eighteenth birthday.

He won Rookie of the Year that year, and reached the championship race at Phoenix Raceway, finishing second in the championship.
