Connor Zilisch Injured After Watkins Glen Xfinity Win
Connor Zilisch captured his sixth victory of the Xfinity Series season at Watkins Glen International, but his post-race celebration took an unexpected turn. Moments after climbing from his car, Zilisch lost his balance, fell to the asphalt, and struck his head.
Track personnel quickly responded, placing him on a stretcher and transporting him first to the ambulance, then to the circuit’s intensive care center for evaluation.
Zilisch had been scheduled to compete in his fourth NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday at Watkins Glen, NBC reported. However, the injury will force him to sit out the event.
Fortunately, the 17-year-old driver is in stable condition, with medical staff confirming he sustained only a broken collarbone and no serious head injury.
