James Hinchcliffe may not have taken the Mirror Ball on “Dancing With the Stars,” but last season’s runner-up clinched a major victory back on his day job last weekend.

The IndyCar driver-turned-reality star won California’s coveted Toyota Long Beach Grand Prix, marking his first win since his near-fatal accident in 2015.

“To finally do what was the goal No. 1 when we set out at the start of the season, to get back into winner’s circle, to do so as early in the season as we have, as convincingly as we did, was great,” he said after winning the historic street race course on Sunday, according to ESPN.
