BRASELTON, Georgia — Robert Wickens, paralyzed from the waist down in an IndyCar crash five years ago, won an IMSA class title at Road Atlanta on Friday. Wickens uses a car equipped with hand controls for paralyzed drivers. He and co-driver Harry Gottsacker finished fourth in the Fox Factory 120 to claim the title. The Bryan Herta Autosports entry needed to finish in eighth to clinch the championship. Wickens said he felt like he proved he could return last year and believes this season's run to the title was more streamlined and professional.
