Robert Wickens is taking a whirlwind turn of events in stride. Armed with short notice and high confidence, the Canadian driver is stepping into the spotlight this weekend to make his IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD class endurance debut at Road America.

Wickens received the call on Wednesday afternoon to drive DXDT Racing’s No. 36 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R in place of Salih Yoluc. He will share the car with fellow sprint co-driver Mason Filippi, along with Charlie Eastwood on the grueling 4.048-mile, 14-turn natural terrain road course.
