[/media-credit]The Mayor of Hinchtown is making an appearance at this year’s Canadian Motorsports Expo.
Canadian Motorsports Expo staff announced that IZOD IndyCar Series driver James Hinchcliffe will be at this year’s Canadian Motorsports Expo on Sunday February 12th. The 25-year-old from Oakville, Ontario won the Rookie of the Year award last season driving for Newman/Haas Racing.
In January, Andretti Autosport made the announcement that Hinchcliffe would drive the GoDaddy.com IndyCar, replacing Danica Patrick.
“I’m looking forward to coming back to the Canadian Motorsport Expo,” Hinchcliffe said. “It’s been a couple of years since my last visit and I know it’s grown in stature since then, which is fantastic to see. Canadian fans are truly passionate about their motorsports and it’s always a great experience to hang out with them. It’s been both an exciting and busy winter for me and the new season’s fast approaching. I think everyone’s raring to go and the CME’s a great way to kick-start Canada’s racing calendar.”
Hinchcliffe has continiuly been moving up through the ranks as he’s raced Formula BMW, Star Mazda, ChampCar Atlanta, A1GP, Firestone Indy Lights and is headed into his second year of IndyCar racing. Lots of fans like Hinchcliffe as a result of his personality and how he engages his fans through social media and his website.
“Through our work at Inside Track Motorsport News, we’ve followed James’ career since his karting days,” CME’s Rob Morton said. “So it’s very exciting for all of us to see how far he’s come and how far he can go. We’re happy to welcome him back to the CME to connect with his Canadian racing fans and sign a bunch of autographs.”
Hinchcliffe will be on the Mazda Stage for a Q&A session on Sunday February 12th from 12:45 till 1:30pm. After, he will sign autographs at the Inside Track Motorsports News booth.
The Canadian Motorsports Expo runs February 10th to the 12th at the International Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The event schedule for the three days is full of star apperances including Ron Fellows, Carl Edwards, Randy LaJoie, Robert Yates and more.
