Hinchcliffe, the 2010 Firestone Indy Lights Series runner-up who previously tested with Newman-Haas Racing, has finally been able to secure the financial backing essential to drive the Dallara-Honda this weekend.
The Toronto-headquartered Sprott Inc., a leading independent asset managing company founded by Eric Sprott, will back the 24-year-old Toronto native starting with Sunday’s race at the 2.38-mile permanent road course in Alabama.
