WASHINGTON: Rising Nascar racing star Connor Zilisch broke his collarbone, he said, after a dramatic fall from the roof of his car, where he had just climbed up to celebrate a win.
The 19-year-old had claimed victory in his sixth race of the season in Nascar’s second tier on Saturday, and shimmied out the window of his Chevrolet to perch on the roof in celebration.
But one foot appeared to slip on his window netting, and to the horror of the watching crowd he crashed to the pavement on Victory Lane at Watkins Glen International in New York.
