NASCAR Driver Celebrates Win, Breaks Collarbone

NASCAR driver Connor Zilisch won the Xfinity Series Mission 200 on Saturday, August 9th at Watkins Glen, and celebrated by immediately breaking his collarbone.

He’s seriously lucky it wasn’t worse, because it looked really bad – like “is he still alive” bad. But thankfully the answer was yes, very much so. Connor’s dad, Jim Zilisch, even took time out that night to joke it was his son’s new low.

Connor returned to the track for an interview the next day and said he was feeling fine. (I’m guessing he was on some painkillers by that point, so… yeah.)
