One of only two drivers to perform a double relief role in one race - the other being Cyrus Patschke in 1911 - Wilson relieved Leon Duray and then Harlan Fengler in the 1923 race. Wilson worked as a mechanic for Miller, and moved from that into a riding mechanic role and relief driver role. His second appearance at Indianapolis was also as a relief for Louis Schneider, 4 years after one of his few races as a sole driver at Kansas.
