OMG

 

[Spotter22]

Looked like he hit his head pretty hard.

Hopefully he’s uninjured.

Looked like he was out

 

[Efisher131]

He was out. Doubt he races tomorrow. That was scary

 

[StandOnIt]

Man, they are carrying him off

 

[Conover]

Poor kid…they put all that advertising crap on the top of the car. He tried to stand, his window net made him slip a bit, then he slipped completely and fell badly. I hear an ambulance. Connor was speaking with medical personnel, but putting him on a backboard.

 

[donthaveanickname]

In 77 seasons of NASCAR, I'm sure that's a first.

Seriously hope he's OK.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

I hope Connor is OK. That's scary.

 

[Clutch]

Poor kid

 

[StandOnIt]

 

[HoneyBadger]

Best case scenario is a concussion and he definitely would not be racing tomorrow.

 

[Spotter22]

The only thing that compares is Davey Allison getting knocked out after winning at Charlotte

 

[Hotrod]

One of his legs got hooked in the
door roll bar cage when he went down.
Goodness, that was horrifying.

 

[SeventyGTX]

Pretty sure Nascar will say no more climbing on the roof after this horrible incident. How incredibly bizarre.

It looked like maybe the window net slid under his foot.

Just drop the net inside instead of over the door

 

[BobbyFord]

I missed it. Went directly to FoodNetwork after the flag

 

[SeventyGTX]

Sure, you could do that but I still think Nascar will say no more. We will see.

 

[Brentford]

Just drop the net inside instead of over the door

I was gonna say, is it always hanging over the door like that during the celebrations?

I watched a video just to see how the heck it happened. That window net definitely caused the fall.

I wouldn't laugh dude. It looked pretty serious, he was out cold.

[StandOnIt]

Care center so far not hospital

 

[SeventyGTX]

Awesome news!!!

 

[Greg]

Hopefully he will be okay but the biggest pain may not felt during the first 30 or 45 munutes until the shock wears off.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I missed it initially. Just looked up and saw the race winner motionless on the floor.

Found a replay on YT. He landed head first from at least two meters. That could've ended really bad. Definitely gotta do a CCT in the care center.

 

[BobbyFord]

I wouldn't laugh dude. It looked pretty serious, he was out cold.

Like I said, I didn’t see it.
I was in the Triple D zone.

 

[JBone88]

Reminds me of when Elliott Sadler fell off the stage on live TV on SPEED like 20 years ago. Total freak accident. Hope he’s alright. That was a nasty angle and he twisted his legs up in the door bars.

I’m shocked that’s never happened before to be honest.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Left for chicken immediately after the checkers. Always wondered if that would happen to Edwards. Hope he's okay.

I assume Allgaier will drive tomorrow.

 

[StandOnIt]

Here's the fall for those who missed it.

I always wanted Edwards to quit doing those back flips.

 

[Blaze]

Connor Zilisch has been transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.

 

[nascarwoman]

OMG, just got in from work and saw this. I hope the young man is OK.
I hope he doesn't try to race tomorrow.

 

[Blaze]

He's awake and alert

 

[StandOnIt]

Me too. They decided he needed to go to the hospital.

 

[Brentford]

OMG, just got in from work and saw this. I hope the young man is OK.
I hope he doesn't try to race tomorrow.

No way NASCAR would let him after that fall. Or at least I would hope they wouldn’t. He’s gonna need to recover after that. Even if he escapes a concussion, he will be in pain.

I don’t think Justin would let him in the car. Nothing to gain.

I agree. I just saw a photo of him landing directly on the side of his head with absolutely no bracing his fall whatsoever. Very ugly.

 

[acmerocket]

wow,ive done that.hope he is ok.

 

[Greg]

I do not want to take anything for granted, but I hope he will just be a little sore without a concussion or broke bones.

If it is no more than that I would have a back up driver on standby, but I wouldnt make a decesion about who will drive until tommorow morning.

No reason for him to drive tomorrow. None.
