Get ready for an exciting partnership announcement that will have you on the edge of your seat! The racing world is buzzing with news of Roto-Rooter's sponsorship of Connor Zilisch for multiple races in 2026.
Roto-Rooter, a trusted name in plumbing services, has joined forces with Trackhouse Racing for a multi-year journey. They've become the official plumbing company for the team, a partnership that goes beyond the track.
This collaboration has its roots in the past, dating back to 2024 when Connor Zilisch, a rising star in NASCAR, made his mark with JR Motorsports. Since then, their relationship has only grown stronger.
Thad Reinhard, President of Roto-Rooter Corporation, shared his enthusiasm: "We're thrilled to be taking this leap into the Cup Series with Connor and Trackhouse Racing. Connor has been an exceptional ambassador for us, and his talent behind the wheel is undeniable. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this journey."
But here's where it gets controversial... In 2025, Zilisch and Roto-Rooter teamed up for a thrilling victory at Sonoma Raceway. He held off his Trackhouse teammate, Shane van Gisbergen, in a close race. Zilisch led for the final 32 laps, despite some friendly (or not-so-friendly) nudges from van Gisbergen. It was a memorable win, with Zilisch claiming his first NASCAR series victory and leading the most laps.
Zilisch, now a NASCAR Cup Series Rookie, expressed his excitement: "Continuing our relationship with Roto-Rooter as we enter the Cup Series is awesome. I've had the pleasure of meeting so many great people from the company over the past two years. The win at Sonoma was a highlight, and I'll never forget the excitement of the Roto-Rooter team in victory lane. I can't wait to build on this relationship and make more memories this season."
And this is the part most people miss... Roto-Rooter's sponsorship extends beyond the Cup Series. They'll also be the primary sponsor for Zilisch in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race on April 11, 2026, at Bristol Motor Speedway. It's a unique doubleheader, with Roto-Rooter making their Cup Series debut on April 12.
So, what do you think? Are you excited for this partnership? Do you think it will bring success to both Roto-Rooter and Connor Zilisch? Feel free to share your thoughts and predictions in the comments! We'd love to hear your take on this exciting announcement.
