A little over five years removed from sustaining spinal cord injuries from an IndyCar Series accident at Pocono Raceway in 2018, Wickens hoisted his first-ever championship to cap off a drama-filled season last Friday at Road Atlanta.
Wickens and co-pilot Harry Gottsacker, driving the #33 Bryan Herta Autosport Hyundai Elantra N TCR, came in with a 20-point lead over closest rivals Chris Miller and Mikey Taylor in the #17 Unitronic/JDC-Miller Motorsports Audi RS 3 LMS TCR. The title hopes for the BHA duo were raised leading up the green flag when Miller, the class-winning pole-sitter, retired with a mechanical issue.
