Stefan Wilson, the 26-year-old brother of the late Justin Wilson, will attempt to qualify for  his 1st ever Indianapolis 500 in the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 this May. He will drive the No. 25 (the number of the car Justin drove in his final race) “Driven2SaveLives” car, which honors the fact that Justin, 37, was an organ donor and saved 5 lives of those in need of organs once he passed away last August after being hit in the helmet by flying debris at Pocono Raceway after Sage Karam’s car spun and made heavy contact with the wall.

Stefan has made just 1 Indycar start, and that was back at Baltimore in 2013 (see picture). He was teammates with his brother in this start driving for Dale Coyne Racing. He finished in 16th after starting 21st; Justin finished 4th after starting 4th.
