WATKINS GLEN, New York — Connor Zilisch , the 19-year-old JR Motorsports NASCAR Xfinity Series driver taking the motorsport by storm, was taken to the hospital after falling while celebrating his win Saturday.

The incident happened shortly after the Mission 200 At The Glen in New York.

After the race, Zilisch climbed out the driver window of his car to stand on the door while being sprayed with liquid in celebration. He lost his footing and slipped, landing on the ground head first. It appeared in the video that his foot may have been caught in the window net hanging off the side of the door.

He didn't immediately get up after the fall, but was seen on camera slightly moving.

CBS Sports reported Zilisch required medical attention and was taken out of Victory Lane on a stretcher.
