Settled Science:
Some people are accident prone, and often have been that way throughout their lives. Think Dick Van Dyke tripping over his ottoman.

I watched the race and that was a bad fall and could have broken his neck. He is one lucky young man for sure.

Vince Lombardi once chewed out a young receiver for celebrating a touchdown catch. He said he’d bench him if he ever did it again. He told him “we are the Green Bay Packers, we are professionals. Act like one. Seems Zillish needs him some Vince Lombardi counseling. Just saying.

The guy is lucky that He didn’t break His neck and/or get a concussion as well !!! Any bets on NUTSCAR making a new rule about Excessive Celebration/climbing up on the car/keeping Helmets on until they have exited Victory Lane ???

Maybe even waiting until a huge padded mat is put down around the car for someone to land on just incase...

Brought to you by Xfinity.

I wonder what thoughts were going through his mind as he was falling and then lay there without moving — probably heard something snap and then was relieved it wasn’t his neck. If he was uncertain about appearing on a highlight reel or top 10 list, he just made sure he’d appear.

It was a scary incident to watch. Good to hear he didn't suffer any brain related injury.

Trackhouse has withdrawn his No. 87 2024 Chevrolet from today’s Go Bowling 355.

The Xfinity Series will take next week off as two of the next three Cup rounds will not have the series. They will be back in action two weeks from now at the Wawa 250 at Daytona (August 22, 1930, The CW) and then the Pacific Office Automation 150 at Portland, OR (August 30, 1930, The CW).

Zilisch will be evaluated sometime after next week’s NCS race to see if he’s clear or not. Earlier this season, he missed Texas because of a Talladega crash.

That Xfinity race was a good race, but Conner carried on the tradition of celebrating. Joey Logan stands on his car with the steering wheel in his hand, while Carl Edwards flipped off the roof of the car. Ross ‘The Watermelon Man’ Chastian, smashes a watermelon when he wins. Denny Hamlin says ‘I beat your favorite driver’ while he celebrates.

You are right.
I am one of those.
Lots of scars to prove it.
It could be genetic.
In my case it is getting in to much of a hurry.

Without surgerical repair, I say 4 weeks minimum, and even then driving a race car will put big strain on that healing fracture.

6 weeks with treatment (suppliments, etc.) He is young.

Not a Doc, but I can put on bandaids.
