Hinchcliffe lands Genesys backing for Indy 500
James Hinchcliffe is getting closer to the Indianapolis 500 after securing sponsorship from a telecommunications firm Genesys.
Hinchcliffe, one of the most popular drivers in the NTT IndyCar series, was not quoted in the press release and was unavailable for comment, but RACER.com was told by a source close to the 33-year-old Toronto native that he is still working on finding a Honda team. Chip Ganassi Racing, Dale Coyne Racing and Rahal Letterman Lanigan are the logical candidates, and it's believed that Hinch is looking to run Indianapolis, Toronto and a couple of other races.
He had a contract to drive for Arrow McLaren SP for this year but was left on the sidelines after Pato O'Ward and Oliver Askew were signed for the Indianapolis-based team.
Headquartered in Daly City, Ca. with offices in Canada, Asian, Latin America, Africa, Australia, Europe and the Middle East, Genesys sells customer experience and call center technology to mid-sized and large businesses. It sells both cloud-based and on-premise software. It was founded in 1990, and was acquired by Oermira Funds and Technology Crossover Ventures in 2012.

Robin Miller flunked out of Ball State after two quarters, but got a job stooging for Jim Hurtubise at the 1968 Indianapolis 500 when Herk's was the last roadster to ever make the race. He got hired at The Indianapolis Star a month later and talked his way into the sports department, where he began covering USAC and IndyCar racing. He got fired at The Star for being anti-Tony George, but ESPN hired him to write and do RPM2Nite. Then he went to SPEED and worked on WIND TUNNEL and SPEED REPORT. He started at RACER when SPEED folded, and went on to write for RACER.com and RACER magazine while also working for NBCSN on IndyCar telecasts.
