More than a week after taking a brutal fall, NASCAR driver Connor Zilisch addressed his dramatic moment in victory lane at Watkins Glen.

NASCAR Xfinity Series star Connor Zilisch suffered a broken collarbone after slipping and falling off of his car in Victory Lane, the driver announced on social media. Zilisch, 19, had just earned his sixth win of the 2025 season at Watkins Glen International and was climbing out of his car to stand on the driver's door and celebrate when he lost his balance and fell to the ground,

Coming off of his injury, Connor Zilisch is on the pole at Daytona, but only because of the lightning in the area. Zilisch is expected to drop to the rear and likely pull off to let Parker Kligerman finish the NASCAR Xfinity Series race.
