It was announced in October 2017 that Wickens would be joining the team full-time for the 2018 season.[3]
He would go on to claim pole position in his debut qualifying session on March 10, 2018, for the 2018 Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.[23] After Wickens led the race for all but the last two laps, Alexander Rossi made a move for the lead and a racing incident ensued, taking Wickens out of the lead, which led to Sébastien Bourdais winning the race.[24]
In May 2018, Wickens was awarded Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year honors after leading two laps and finishing ninth during the race.[25]
He came in fifth at the July 11, 2018,
Pocono accident
Wickens crashed violently during the
The race was red flagged while Wickens was extricated from the car, with Indycar officials stating he was "awake and alert", before being transferred to hospital by helicopter. Subsequent reports indicated that Wickens was admitted to
Several factors helped Wickens survive: he ducked down so his head did not hit any solid object, the cockpit did not strike the steel pole, and forces of the impact were dissipated in the destruction of the car, sparing Wickens.[35][38]
Wickens' car was withdrawn from the Bommarito Automotive Group 500, while teammate James Hinchcliffe, also involved in the accident, was cleared to race.[39] The No. 6 car did return to the track at Portland with Carlos Muñoz behind the wheel of the car. In a press release on September 6, owners Sam Schmidt and Ric Peterson said: "the 6 is his when he comes back". The second car was renumbered to 7 for the 2019 season where Marcus Ericsson drove the car. Despite this press statement, the No. 6 car did make a brief return during the 2022 season, when it was driven by Juan Pablo Montoya at Indianapolis before making a full return to the sport from 2023 onwards.
Despite missing the final three races of the 2018 season, Wickens had already collected enough points to earn the 2018 IndyCar Rookie of the Year award.[40]
Recovery
On 21 November 2018, Wickens published a video of him walking a few steps with machine assistance during his rehab, showcasing the movement of his legs.[41]
On 30 January 2019, Wickens published another video showing him riding a spin bike on his own and without any assistance.[42]

On 5 May 2021, 989 days after the accident at Pocono, Wickens drove a race car again, testing the #54 Hyundai Veloster N TCR with Bryan Herta Autosport at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Outfitted with hand controls, normally raced by paralyzed team driver Michael Johnson, Wickens wasted no time adapting to the set-up and was up to pace within a number of laps, proving his speed and ability to race again.
Return to racing
On 14 January 2022, it was announced that Wickens will compete in the 2022 Michelin Pilot Challenge with Bryan Herta Autosport. This was Wickens' first return to racing since his accident at Pocono.[47] In his first race at Daytona, Wickens and co-driver Mark Wilkins scored a podium with a third-place finish. On 25 June 2022, Wickens and Wilkins won the TCR class of the Michelin Pilot Challenge race at Watkins Glen International, Wickens' first race victory since 2017. He then followed this up with a win at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in the following race. At the end of the season, Wickens finished in 6th place in the Touring Car (TCR) Drivers' championship.
Wickens remained in the team for 2023, paired with Harry Gottsacker. A consistent season with several podium finishes saw the pair claim the TCR championship at the last race in Road Atlanta.
