Nascar Xfinity points leader Connor Zilisch has broken his collarbone after falling from his car while celebrating a win.

Zilisch, 19, had won his sixth race of the season in Nascar's second tier at Watkins Glen and was climbing on to the roof of his car to celebrate.

He appeared to slip on the window net of his Chevrolet and fell on to the concrete in Victory Lane.

He was taken to the circuit's care centre where he was described as "awake and alert".

I was fortunate enough to meet Connor last fall at Talladega and able to speak with him one on one. He is an amazing young man and well versed beyond his years.
