James Hinchcliffe and Mardi Gras seem like a match made in heaven.
Beyond the cockpit, the Verizon IndyCar Series driver for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports is one of IndyCar’s most charismatic, humorous and engaging personalities.
And sending him – and several others from IndyCar and the Mazda Road to Indy – to Mardi Gras before Fat Tuesday is one of the better PR ideas IndyCar has had in a while (Hinch and Josef Newgarden below).
See videos of Hinch in action down in New Orleans this week, linked below.
