The entry was done in conjunction with DragonSpeed (who provided the pit crew members) and Foyt (who provided the equipment). For qualifying, Wilson did not make an attempt, due to his engine having an issue stemming from the second gear being where the third was supposed to be, meaning that when Wilson shifted to what was supposed the third gear, the engine spun beyond its threshold. In the race, Wilson started 33rd (last) and would ultimately finish (two laps down) in 26th place.
