Robert Wickens has attacked his rehabilitation from a spinal cord injury with aggressive goals. He wants to dance at his upcoming wedding, one day walk again with zero evidence his legs once did not work and, of course, return to racing cars.
Nearly a year after his devastating injury in an IndyCar race, Wickens will get to drive a car again at a track. He will lead the parade lap Sunday before the Toronto IndyCar race in an Acura NSX equipped with hand controls.
The modifications were made by Arrow, sponsor of the Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports team Wickens drove for last season.
