Default Paralyzed Indy car driver Robert Wickens has some fun...

...when fellow Indy Car racer James Hinchcliffe visits him in the hospital.

I've been watching Wicky's recovery - sometimes painful to watch, but he has the Spirit of a Champion.

I saw this last night and it put a big smile on my face

His home town is about 20 25 mins from my house so of course this kinda hit home. I was watching the race while it happened , amazing he's alive . Wishing nothing but the best for him

Again , he grew up not far from me and started in the area on go karts so its extra special to see him back at it . Literally got a little dusty over here when I watched the video . I mean for a guy who should be dead .. or a quadriplegic. Insane to see him progressing with walking ,let alone messing around on track in a car .
