Stefan Wilson is fully recovered from the crash during practice in May th at ruled him out from participating in his fifth Indy 500.
The Briton was unable to compete after fracturing his back in a hit from behind by Katherine Legge, which fired his Cusick Motorsports/Dreyer & Reinbold Racing entry into the Turn 1 wall.
“I’m back to 100 percent,” Wilson told RACER. “I’ve been back on track in a Ferrari Challenge car and everything felt great and normal. There were no restrictions. And I have been working out like mad to get all the way back to where I was before. I’m feeling ready to go and strong.”
Wilson qualified 25th for the 500 in the No. 24 Chevy and was taking part in practice the following day when the incident occurred. Legge’s teammate, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s Graham Rahal, who failed to qualify, was named as Wilson’s replacement, and finished 22nd
Since the crash, Wilson has focused on physical rehabilitation and securing his next Indy 500 opportunity with team owner Don Cusick. It’s believed the Dreyer & Reinbold team has filled both slots, which has led to a new search for the 34-year-old and his partner.
