IndyCar drivers cheering Robert Wickens recovery from crash
AUSTIN, Texas -- IndyCar drivers are watching Robert Wickens' determined recovery from a horrific crash last season and cheering him on in hopes he will be able to return to racing.
Wickens suffered a spinal cord injury in a crash last August at Pocono Raceway. He has been updating his recovery with videos on social media during his rehabilitation. Wickens has vowed to return to racing.
"I firmly believe he will do it," said James Hinchcliffe, Wickens' Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsport teammate and a fellow Canadian. "He's driven as all get-out. He's pushing himself harder than he probably should be. We are excited to see him back on the racetrack as soon as possible."
