TORONTO -- Robert Wickens made an emotional return to the race track Sunday with a parade lap in a car equipped with hand controls before the IndyCar race in Toronto.
Wickens suffered a spinal cord injury in a crash last August and his ceremonial lap around Exhibition Place was his first time on a race track since the devastating accident.
Wickens drove a $160,000 Acura NSX modified by Arrow to allow the Canadian native to drive with hand controls.
"I am over the moon with how crazy this is," Wickens said before he got in the car.
