Stefan Wilson has Google and a curious amateur driver to thank for this opportunity to compete in the 105th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. As Wilson aptly describes, he is a driver who keeps “getting back up after being knocked down.”. “And I keep showing this Yorkshire grit I’ve got,” Wilson said, laughing. Wilson offered Cusick a connection to suite tickets for this year’s 105th Running, which led Cusick to invite Wilson to join him. Wilson, 31, was due for an easier year preparing for this event. Wilson knew he had a golden opportunity with Andretti Autosport in 2018, and he nearly made the most of it by taking the lead with eight laps remaining. This year, Wilson plans to improve on the only part of his driving he believes has held him back.
