NASCAR driver Connor Zilisch falls off car, broke collarbone in Victory Lane [View all]

Nineteen-year-old Connor Zilisch drives in NASCAR's second-tier Xfinity Series and he's damn good at it - he's won six races, at least double every other driver on the circuit. On Saturday he won the Mission 200 at Watkins Glen, pulled into Victory Lane, started to climb on the roof of his car to celebrate...then got his foot tangled up in his window netting, fell off the car, landed on the pavement and broke his collarbone. He's stable.

In other news, the unworldly Shane van Gisbergen won his fourth race and fourth road race of his rookie season. His win totals are unparalleled; only Jimmie Johnson in 2002 and Tony Stewart in 1999 won three races in their rookie seasons. Only three other drivers in this history of NASCAR won four road courses in a row: the first was Dan Gurney, who took four years to do it because in the 1960s there was only one road race on the schedule, at Riverside, CA. Chase Elliott did it from 2019 to 2020. Jeff Gordon also needed four years to do it because there were only two road races on the schedule from 1997-2000. The worst part is, there's one more road race on the schedule this year so...who the heck knows what might happen. The best part is he's really got five road course victories in NASCAR Cup; he won a race in 2023. SVG is probably going to win that last road race in 2025, which will leave him with five wins in his rookie season - a record probably as unbreakable as Cal Ripken Jr's consecutive game streak. Next year comes around, if he wins four more he will be the all-time career leader in road-racing wins (Jeff Gordon has nine) in his second year of competition.
