Hinchcliffe takes over Patrick's ride at Andretti Autosport

Autoracing Betting Lines

01/10/2012 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andretti Autosport has named James Hinchcliffe as the replacement driver for Danica Patrick in the No.27 car for the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series season.

Hinchcliffe drove for Newman-Haas Racing during his 2011 rookie-of-the-year season. The 25-year-old Toronto native finished 12th in points last year, scoring three top-five finishes and seven top-10s.

He will join Marco Andretti and Ryan Hunter-Reay at Michael Andretti's team. GoDaddy will continue its sponsorship with the No.27.

"Can't put into words how cool it is to be driving the #27 for [GoDaddy] and [Andretti Autosport]," Hinchcliffe posted on his Twitter account Tuesday.

Dan Wheldon had signed with Andretti to replace Patrick before his fatal crash in the October 16 season-finale at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Patrick is NASCAR-bound this year, running a full-time schedule in the Nationwide Series and a partial one in the Sprint Cup Series.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
