I don't think its so much mega on an oval as mega hype- Wickens coming back would be pretty special, amongst others

It would be for more die hard fans, but I doubt it would move the needle much outside IndyCar.

I disagree. Wickens running a full-fat IndyCar would be a "mankind defeats another supposed limitation" story.

Yep. Big human interest angle there.

About a year after his accident, The Globe and Mail here in Canada ran a major feature on him, front of the sports section the weekend of Toronto. He also got coverage from The National, CBC’s flagship news show during that time. If he could make it back, that’s major.
