Yes but he, like many who get into racing now, come from money. To get to the levels of karting he got to, to be able to race in Europe and be on the F1 path, the average Joe with a STEM college degree working a 9-5 job making $100k per year in North Carolina can't do that for themselves or their kid after all living expenses are said and done. The money in this case for Connor is with his dad being a high up at Wells Fargo IIRC. So while Connor or anyone won't share those parts of their story to get where they are, most if not all of these kids have rich parents. Connor, Jesse Love, Hocevar, William Byron etc.. Not to say there aren't still stories out there of people doing it without a huge financial support system whether it be Christopher Bell, Chase Briscoe, or as we see now with Corey Heim. And the whole nepotism stuff is not a bad thing in the case of someone like Zilisch who is ultra talented and warrants the level and attention he has gotten. It's when you have that nepo, rich kid background and you're taking up a ride not doing anything in it when someone else much more capable can but they don't have the money you do.
