It was a crazy weekend in NASCAR, as many drivers were involved in a series of incidents that left everyone worried. A car burst into flames, another one flipped and crashed into a wall and then, well, this.

Truck driver Layne Riggs ended up reaching a personal milestone, however the aftermath did not go as planned. During the lates edition of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at the Milwaukee Mile, the river secured the victory that was the first of his career.

It was a special moment for him, the team and his family, the problem arose once he got out of the car. Riggs pumped his right fist in the air during his celebration and then immediately started to hold on to his shoulder in visible pain.

The injury of the celebration

It turns out that Layne Riggs dislocated his shoulder while enjoying his historic win and after that he was helped off the truck and then his teammates popped his shoulder back into place in what was a bizarre moment after the event.

"I dislocated my shoulder. I was celebrating so hard. It hurts like a mug but hey, it was worth it," he said after the race. "It's not the first time it's happened to me, but it ain't gonna slow me down," he added with a big smile on his face.

Riggs beat out Ty Majeski, Christian Eckes, Nick Sanchez and Taylor Gray to reach first place during the race. It was an emotional win for the 22-year-old North Carolina native, as he is the son of former NASCAR driver Scott Riggs and he has had seven top 10 finishes before this win.
