NASCAR Xfinity Series points leader Connor Zilisch broke his collarbone after a hard fall in victory lane at Watkins Glen International in New York.
After his series-leading sixth victory, Zilisch was climbing onto the roof of his No. 88 Chevrolet to celebrate. He slipped after apparently getting his left foot caught in the driver’s side window netting and tumbled awkwardly onto the asphalt.
The 19-year-old Zilisch was taken on a backboard to the trackside medical centre and then transported to a hospital for further evaluation. He posted on X about two hours later that he had a broken collarbone, and that CT scans showed no head injury.
Sporting a smile with his left elbow in a black sling draped around his neck, Zilisch was back on Sunday recounting his fall.
After winning Saturday’s Xfinity race at the road course, Zilisch took a nasty tumble while attempting a perch on his No. 88 Chevrolet in celebration. Zilisch, 19, was taken to the hospital.
“First of all, I’m doing OK,” Zilisch said during the USA broadcast of the Cup race. “Very grateful to be able to walk away from that, and I guess I didn’t walk away, but I’m very grateful to be walking today and to just be all right. Thank you to all the medics who took care of me, and everybody who reached out and wished me well. I do appreciate it a lot.”
