INDYCAR, DALLARA OFFER SUPERSPEEDWAY FRONT WING EXTENSION OPTION By INDYCAR | Published: Jun 18, 2018 INDYCAR and chassis manufacturer Dallara will offer Verizon IndyCar Series teams the opportunity to add front downforce to cars for the final superspeedway oval race on the 2018 schedule, the ABC Supply 500 at Pocono Raceway. A front wing extension (seen below) has been developed that is intended to increase front downforce by at least 3 percent while ensuring adequate aerodynamic stability. Teams will have the flexibility to use the extension as they see fit, creating adjustability on both sides of the front wing. The extension is optional for Pocono and may be used asymmetrically. The balancing tool is a result of driver and team feedback from last month’s Indianapolis 500. Extension bolts to the trailing edge of the wing attach through existing holes. Dallara is also providing an optional wicker to fit the extension. What's a wicker?

What if any adjustment is there in the Speedway rear wing? Up or down. No change of the chord or addition of a wicker?

To the best of my knowledge, there is no allowance ruleswise for the addition of a wicker. Not exactly sure what you are getting at with "change of the chord." Geometry class was 30 years ago.

The chord is the cross-section of the piece. Thickness, width, etc,

The wing changes did not cause Wicken's incident. To an extent the field looked racy - at least among those with similar potential. Rossi and Power were in another zip code together.
