Following the finish of today’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Watkins Glen, Connor Zilisch was injured after falling in victory lane. Zilisch won the race by leading 60 laps and perservering through multiple incidents. He was carried out of the track on a backboard.
The CW changed things up and was going old-school with the winner’s interview taking place in victory lane, not the frontstretch. Well, an interview never happened. Connor Zilisch fell while stepping down off of his car as his right foot was caught up in something.
It appeared that Zilisch twisted his leg and hit his head on the ground. He was motionless for a moment on TV before the broadcast cut away.
Dustin Long of NBC Sports captured the moment Zilisch was loaded into the ambulance. The driver was responsive a few moments after the fall and appeared to be sitting up as he went into the emergency vehicle. It appears that Dale Earnhardt Jr. is there to see his driver off.
This is a developing story…
