Hinchcliffe Proving To Be More Than A Funny Guy

LONG BEACH (AP) — The Mayor of Hinchtown is very funny, that's never been in doubt.

But is James Hinchcliffe a great race car driver? He's got the chance to answer that question now.

Hinchcliffe took over the most recognized ride in IndyCar this season when he replaced Danica Patrick in the bright green GoDaddy.com car for Andretti Autosport.

Hinchcliffe has seized the challenge, and drove the car to consecutive top-10 finishes in the first two races of the season. He tied his career-best finish of fourth at St. Pete, and was sixth at Barber.

It's gone a long way in helping Hinchcliffe show he's more than just a creative marketer known maybe best for the Hinchtown community he'd created on his personal website.

Hinchcliffe is showing he could be IndyCar's next superstar.
