Biography

James Douglas Meredith Hinchcliffe (born December 5, 1986) is a Canadian racing driver. He is best known for competing in the IndyCar Series from 2011 until 2021. He is also a commentator for IndyCar broadcasts on FOX Sports and occasional Formula One broadcasts on F1TV. Hinchcliffe won the 2011 IndyCar Rookie of the Year award driving for Newman/Haas Racing, and six race wins for Andretti Autosport and Schmidt Peterson Motorsports. In 2015, his first year driving for Schmidt Peterson, he suffered life-threatening blood loss when he was impaled in a crash when his suspension failed while practicing for the Indianapolis 500. He would recover and win the pole position for the following year's race and finished in seventh position. In 2016, Hinchcliffe appeared on season 23 of the ABC series Dancing with the Stars, finishing in second place. He is often called by his nicknames "Hinch" and "the Mayor of Hinchtown."
