As Riggs pumped his right fist in celebration near the start-finish line while standing on the top of his vehicle, he appeared to injure himself. Riggs said he dislocated his shoulder. Riggs was helped off of the truck, and then his team popped his shoulder back into place.

“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.”
