NASCAR will not change it’s post-race celebration festivities and traditions not limit drivers after Connor Zilisch’s scary fall last weekend.

After his Xfinity Series win last Saturday, the 19-year-old Motorsports driver and hopeful F1 participant celebrated by climbing out of his vehicle’s window to attempt to stand on the roof.

But his celebration went sideways after he fell while landing on his neck leaving those watching horrified, as his movement was limited while on the ground.

Zilisch needed medical attention after hitting his head, while being taken away in an ambulance, before the news was announced that he had been released from hospital just two hours later.

He escaped with just a broken collarbone, leaving fans relieved on just how bad the injury could have been for the promising driver.

While recovering from the injury, questions began to be asked about driver safety in their celebrations, hoping to avoid such instances moving forward.

Zilisch had claimed that he heard NASCAR told it’s drivers not to celebrate the same way moving forward. However, managing director of communications, Mike Forde, has stated that this is not the case and they will not tell drivers what they cannnot do after winning.

Forde said: “We haven’t said that we were going to tell drivers who have won not to step out onto their window, and stand there and take photos and all that.

DON’T MISS!

“Right now, there are no best practices. We aren’t legislating it. We haven’t said that drivers aren’t allowed to do this or anything else. However, I think we did notice the window net… we do have NASCAR employees in Victory Lane, and just make the window net is inside of the car.

“I think that was part of the problem – the window net was flapping on the outside. I think Connor even said that may have been a problem, and one of our safety guys actually mentioned the same thing. He noticed that as being one of the issues. So, nothing as far as a policy goes. Make sure the window and check, (because) if that’s inside the car, it’s one less thing you can slip on.”
