Connor Zilisch Suffers Broken Clavicle in Victory Lane Fall

Released after clear head scans, Zilisch is set to miss next weekend’s Cup race at Watkins Glen

Overview

  • Video footage shows Zilisch’s foot became trapped in the driver’s window mesh as he descended his car, leading to a head-first fall and on-site immobilization
  • Trackside medical crews found him conscious and alert before he was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation
  • Hospital CT scans ruled out any head injury but confirmed a fractured clavicle as his sole injury
  • Zilisch was discharged Saturday night and used social media to thank medical staff and fans while reporting steady improvement
  • Trackhouse Racing withdrew its No. 87 Chevrolet from the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series race and Zilisch will miss the Go Bowling at the Glen, casting uncertainty over his championship bid
