Robert Wickens soars to Pilot Challenge title
Five years after suffering spinal cord injuries in an IndyCar accident, Robert Wickens won his first-ever championship in the #33 Bryan Herta Autosport Hyundai Elantra N TCR at Road Atlanta. Wickens and co-pilot Harry Gottsacker had a 20-point lead going into the race and secured the title by finishing fourth. Their closest rivals, Chris Miller and Mikey Taylor, retired with a mechanical issue. Despite not winning any races this season, Wickens reflected on the “uncharacteristic mistakes” of his rookie year and how they shaped him into a better professional. The challenging competition and car performance made this season a harder one, and Wickens expressed pride in their achievements.
