Comeback King Wickens Hits a Snag at Nürburgring
Racing fans, hold onto your hats! Former IndyCar hotshot Robert Wickens just can't steer clear of drama. After steering with hand controls—yep, you heard that right—due to a previous paralyzing crash, Wickens was back, pushing limits in the Nürburgring Endurance Series. But midway through the opener, he hit a snag, a proper shunt that had everyone holding their breath.
Good news, though! After some nerve-wracking moments, the team tweeted out a sigh of relief. "After further evaluation at hospital, scans are complete and clear," stated Bryan Herta Autosport. He's all stable and getting some well-deserved rest at the local hospital. Precautionary overnight observation is the name of the game.
From Paralysis to Pinnacle: Wickens' Wheeling Ways
Flashback to 2018—Wickens' life took a sharp turn at Pocono Raceway, with an accident that would make most people hang up their helmets for good. But nope, not Wickens. Fast forward to July 2019, and he's already back, driving in Toronto with a special car. And fans, you've gotta love his spirit! "It definitely felt like freedom," he shared, post-drive.
Call it a comeback, a miracle, or sheer willpower, this guy doesn't know the word 'quit'. From being told he might never drive again to grabbing a trophy in an IMSA Touring Car series in 2023, Wickens is the man who laughs in the face of adversity.
If that's not worth a share or a like, I don't know what is. Stay tuned. Wickens' story is far from over, and we're here for every twist and turn!
