Robert Wickens will get a chance to drive on a racetrack again this weekend in the parade lap at the Honda Indy in Toronto. Wickens has posted periodic updates on his recovery following a horrific August crash during an IndyCar race at Pocono. He suffered a thoracic spinal fracture, spinal cord injury, neck fracture, tibia and fibula fractures to both legs, fractures in both hands, a fractured right forearm, fractured elbow, four fractured ribs and a pulmonary contusion. Wickens says he’ll drive an Acura NSX with hand controls provided by Arrow, and he says he plans on going fast. “I get to basically be pole position for the race, which is a blast,” Wickens said.
