Riggs did so whilst on top of his car, pumping his arms in celebration.

Quickly, the celebrations were tempered, though, and Briggs' team forced to pop his shoulder back into place.

Reflecting on the bizarre incident, the #38 driver claimed 'it was worth it' with a big smile on his face despite being in pain.

“I dislocated my shoulder, I was celebrating so hard,” Riggs explained.

“It hurts like a mug, but it was worth it.

"It’s not the first time it’s happened to me, but it ain’t gonna slow me down!”
