I’ve been fortunate to work with a LOT of great drivers of the years, and @ConnorZilisch certainly ranks among the best. Had tons of speed all weekend at the Roval, fastest in practice, qualifying, and the race. Proud of the car the Silver Hare crew brought. On to @RoadAtlanta.
Fastest car and driver for the second day in a row, resulting in the #CharlotteSpeedTour Omologato Fast Lap of the Race Award for our @ConnorZilisch. A small wiring issue, however, led to a 19th-place finish. Race report to come. #TransAm

SUPER excited about @ConnorZilisch joining us at @TeamSilverHare next year. Connor is hands down one of the most talented drivers I’ve ever worked with, and is an awesome kid to be around. I can’t wait to see what this kid accomplished in the near future.

We’ve got a Dino sighting this morning at @COTA! Just over an hour and a half until @michaelself and the @SinclairOilCorp ride take the green flag.

This #MusicCityGP layout is absolutely nuts. Definitely one of the most unique tracks I’ve seen in person. Excited to make some laps tomorrow!

This weekends #MusicCityGP is shaping up to be one of the coolest US motorsports events of the year. A huge entry list for TA2 with some big names, and now TV coverage topping it all off!
- 38 stock cars - Street course (with a bridge) - Some of the best road racers in North America 👀 📺: @CBSSportsNet, Saturday at 8:00pm ET. This is racing action you won’t want to miss!

Ugh. Had a really strong @SinclairOilCorp Camaro all weekend and made a stupid move on a restart that cost myself a good finish and tore up a lot of cars. The @TeamSilverHare guys have done an awesome job finding speed the last few weeks! Great job by @tylerkicera finishing P3.
An excellent race for @tylerkicera today as he drives from 11th to finish 3rd, bagging Silver Hare Racing’s first podium finish of the year! @michaelself ran in the top-five early before a mid-race crash and Maurice Hull got caught up in an accident as well. 📸: @ChrisGreenPics

Had a blast making laps at @BIRrace today, one of my all-time favorite tracks. Got my first K&N Series win here nine years ago, which feels crazy. Really looking forward to racing here on Sunday, and continue making progress with @TeamSilverHare!
We’re wrapped up with the day one action here at @BIRrace, with @michaelself finishing a red-flag shortened test session 2 in P5, @tylerkicera P6, and Maurice Hull P14. We’ll be back tomorrow for two more practice sessions and qualifying, kicking off at 9:00am CT.

Lots of fun talking road racing with @DavidSmithMA and @AlanCavanna before this weekends races at @roadamerica! Excited to be at the track with @TeamSilverHare building on the coaching I’ve done for years, and looking forward to many more.

Cheers to 5 straight years of spring, summer and fall semesters, two different schools, three different homes, with racing and working thrown in from time-to-time. Excited to finally throw the cap in the air for (possibly) the final time as a graduate from @UNCG!

Thanks @DavidSmithMA for reaching out about this! I’ve been very fortunate to work with a lot of different drivers and make a lot of friends over the years through coaching. Looking forward to watching a lot of them race at @COTA this weekend!

Ruff Ryders Anthem was the first song I listened to that I wasn’t allowed to listen to at the time. I remember having it on my Sony Minidisc player circa 1999-2000. Good times. RIP DMX.

Rough weekend. Drove from 26th to around 12th in six laps and had a LR come apart and clobbered the wall. Really proud of how hard the @teamsilverhare crew worked all weekend, and we’ll keep after it.
That’s a wrap for us at @RoadAtlanta. Maurice Hull crossed the finish line P13, and claimed the win in the Masters division! @tylerkicera suffered an electrical issue and finished P22, and @michaelself’s day ended early after a LR-tire blowout led to contact with the wall.

Definitely hasn’t been the weekend I hoped for so far at @RoadAtlanta, but the @TeamSilverHare guys have thrashed to get the motor replaced and I’m anxious to see what we can do starting from the back today!
Qualifying is in the books and @tylerkicera will start P9, Maurice Hull P22, and @michaelself didn’t make a lap which will put him P26 for the start of tomorrow’s 40-lap race. The green flag will fly at 4:25pm!

Man, what a weekend for @ToyotaRacing! Massive congrats to @CBellRacing, @TrentDRodriguez, @jackirvingjr, @TylerTRD, and @DavidWilsonTRD. They’re on it this year! Love seeing the road course success!

Fun first race with @TeamSilverHare! Came up just short of a podium finish. Need to work on our long-run balance a little bit, but I’m happy with where we’re starting. Really nice runs by Maurice, and @tylerkicera who was running top-five before his issue.
Checkered flag! @michaelself crossed the line fourth, Maurice Hull 13th, and @tylerkicera suffered a mechanical issue ending his day early, in 19th. Up next is @RoadAtlanta on March 26-28.

Loving how the @SinclairOilCorp colors transferred to the @TeamSilverHare TA2 car! Fun day at @sebringraceway today. Need to figure some things out to find speed but love driving these cars!
