About this episode
He’s dodged us for three years straight, but we FINALLY got Hinchtown’s very own Mayor, James Hinchcliffe, to join us. A product of the North American open-wheel ladder system, Toronto’s native son went from the Canadian karting scene to a winner in Atlantics and Indy Lights, before finally moving up to IndyCar where he’s become one of the most popular drivers in the current era. A multiple winner in the top ranks, James’ stardom transcends motorsports, not only by virtue of his runner-up status on ABC’s ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ but also as a national spokesman for Honda… you’ve seen his bearded face in several U.S. commercials. Part of the Schmidt Peterson Motorsports organization, we learn a lot about Canadians, beer, lying Hollywood bastards, and Jeff Gordon’s retirement party. Lunch was served at the 1911 Grill (owned by Sarah Fisher!) with the music of Judas Booth taking us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for all of their support, and Acura for providing a great MDX.
