Is the Mayor looking for a first lady?
Maybe, maybe not. Either way, James Hinchcliffe – the self-elected mayor of fictional Hinchtown when he’s not driving the No. 5 Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports Honda – played a version of the dating game for a recent taping of “Steve Harvey” in Chicago.
From all accounts, the episode that airs Tuesday on the nationally syndicated talk show was a riot. It wasn’t the first time Hinchcliffe and Harvey have shared the stage. The driver was part of an all-Verizon IndyCar Series team that competed in a recent taping of “Celebrity Family Feud” hosted by Harvey. That show airs this summer.
“Steve’s hilarious,” Hinchcliffe said. “We got to meet him and know him a little bit for the ‘Family Feud’ taping.
“That kind of led to this opportunity and I figured you only live once, so why not give it a try. It was fun to get to hang out with him again and see how he operates in a different environment.”
