A broader look at today’s business
Robert Wickens is in his pit stall as he prepares to go out on the track during practice for the Rolex 24 hour auto race at Daytona International Speedway in January last year.
“In the months and years that I spent rehabbing my body, trying to get the best quality of life possible for myself and for my family, always in the back of my mind I was wanting to return to racing,” Wickens told The Associated Press. “I wanted my own closure on my racing career. How it ended in Pocono in 2018 was not how I was going to end things.
Just two seasons and 19 races into his comeback, Wickens heads into the Touring Car Class finale of the Michelin Pilot Challenge season as the championship leader. AP “From a sensory standpoint, I can feel touch OK,” Wickens said. “Where I struggle is my legs are not equally strong. If I have assistance to get to a standing point, and if I have something to hold on to, I can stand up. But I can’t take three steps without holding onto something because I don’t have any core muscles. When I take a step, I can’t balance my upper body, so I basically just fall.”
Wickens says the mental struggles have been far more difficult than trying to recover from his physical injuries.
