The teenager tried to climb on top of his car after victory at Watkins Glen, but lost his balance as he stepped on the roof of the No.88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet.

Zilisch got his left foot caught inside his car window and tumbled to the ground head first.

The North Carolina native was initially motionless on the ground after the heavy blow to the head.

Medical teams immediately arrived to tend to him and transported him on a stretcher to the trackside medical center.

Zilisch was later transported to a local hospital for further evaluations but was awake and alert, according to NASCAR.

He was released from hospital on Saturday evening.

Zilisch updated his fans with his condition after his release, confirming that scans of his head have come back clear.

He wrote on social media: “Thank you everybody for reaching out today.

“I’m out of the hospital and getting better already.

“Thankfully, CT scans for my head are clear, I just have a broken collarbone.

“Thankful for all the medics for quick attention and grateful it wasn’t any worse.”

Trackhouse Racing later announced that they would be withdrawing their No.87 Red Bull Chevrolet from Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Watkins Glen as a result.

A statement read: “Trackhouse Racing has elected to withdraw the No.87 Red Bull Chevrolet from tomorrow’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Watkins Glen International.

“We wish Connor a speedy recovery”.
