"..is being treated for injuries to his lower extremities, right arm and spine following an incident in the ABC Supply 500. He also sustained a pulmonary contusion. He will undergo an MRI and probable surgery at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest. Further updates will be provided when available....."

That was one intense crash.....

Yes, wow and how the car disintegrated.

May he have a full and speedy recovery. That was a horrible wreck.

One of the worst I ever saw. A tribute to the safety built into these cars.

i really hate Pocono. The races are uninteresting and there have Benny’s some devestating crashes there. Almost as boring as Michigan.

"..INDIANAPOLIS – Titanium rods and screws were placed in IndyCar driver Robert Wickens' spine during surgery Monday to stabilize a thoracic spinal fracture associated with a spinal cord injury..

Wickens is expected to undergo surgery to repair his non-spinal injuries (fractures in his lower extremities and right forearm)...."

Looking at the 2019 schedule....Indycar needs to get away from Pocono and Texas...and go back to places like Phoenix and Milwaukee with a low down force package....

 

[MustangL2W]

IndyCar ovals ought to be Phoenix, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, The Milwaukee Mile, Iowa Speedway and Gateway Motorsports Park.
I miss Nazareth. That track kicked a**!

Wickens no longer requires his support vest!

He's learning how to stand up in a walker now...
