NASCAR's Connor Zilisch taken to hospital after fall in victory lane
NASCAR phenom Connor Zilisch was taken to a local hospital Saturday night near Watkins Glen, N.Y., after he lost his balance and fell off his car in victory lane. Zilisch had just won Saturday's Xfinity Series race at Watkins Glen International, a triumphant sixth victory of a remarkable rookie season, when he appeared to lose his footing while standing on his car's window ledge during the traditional victory pose for photographers. Advertisement The CW's television cameras showed him fall to the ground and lie motionless after apparently hitting his head on the concrete floor of victory lane. The footage cut away after a few seconds of showing Zilisch not moving; the network later showed him being carried out of victory lane on a backboard, and pit reporter Dillon Welch told viewers Zilisch was speaking with safety workers before being placed into an ambulance. UPDATE: Connor Zilisch has been transported to a local hospital for further evaluation following today's Xfinity Series race. He is awake and alert. — NASCAR (@NASCAR) August 9, 2025 Zilisch was initially taken to the track's infield medical center for evaluation but was later taken to the hospital via ambulance. NASCAR said he was 'awake and alert,' but no further specifics on his condition were given. A well-liked 19-year-old and regarded as one of the best NASCAR prospects in years, Zilisch received an outpouring of support on social media from other NASCAR drivers. Kyle Busch posted the praying hands emoji on X and tagged Zilisch's account, and Corey LaJoie wrote, 'I'm sick to my stomach seeing that fall.' 'Omg bro no,' Truck Series driver Rajah Caruth posted on X with the crying face emoji. Zilisch was scheduled to race all three major NASCAR races at Watkins Glen this weekend. In addition to winning the Xfinity Series race Saturday, he finished eighth in Friday night's Truck Series race and qualified 25th for Sunday's Cup Series race — though it's unclear at this point whether that start will happen. It was a stunning moment that is perhaps unprecedented in major motorsports. Drivers have gone down in victory lane before — SRX driver Doug Coby fell out of his car at Stafford Speedway and landed on his rear end in 2021 — but none in memory has fallen off his car in a way that resulted in injury. Zilisch, a North Carolina native who grew up racing against some of Formula One's top talent in Europe, is expected to be promoted to the NASCAR Cup Series next season. Spot the pattern.

Shane van Gisbergen wrecks out of the lead after contact with teammate
The third matchup between teammates Connor Zilisch and Shane van Gisbergen ended in disaster. SVG was blocking aggressively as Zilisch tried to find a way around his JR Motorsports teammate. And with just 18 laps to go, the two drivers clashed. Zilisch moved to the outside of SVG on the run down into Turn 6, but he blew the corner and went extremely wide. As Zilisch tried to get back to the racing surface, there was no room as van Gisbergen was occupying the inside lane. However, Zilisch didn't lift, clipping his teammate, and sending SVG hard into the outside wall at Turn 7. SVG's car lifted off the ground due to the severity of the impact, but he was uninjured. On the radio, Zilisch gave his initial thoughts on the incident. "I don't know what I could have done differently," radioed Zilisch. "He didn't leave me any room to rejoin. "He spun off my nose ... I think he thought I was clear." Van Gisbergen didn't have much to say after being checked and released from the infield care center, telling The CW that he hadn't seen a replay yet. "Not ideal," said van Gisbergen. "Pretty gutted, really. Gutted for the JR Motorsports guys. Our car wasn't great, but we still managed to get ourselves in position and looked great. Pretty average way to end it." Zilisch went on to win the race, but he suffered a scary fall in Victory Lane. The 19-year-old fell off the car, left on a stretcher and was transported to local hospital.
