INDIANAPOLIS -- James Hinchcliffe is pulling double-duty this season, competing both on Dancing With the Stars and in the IndyCar circuit.
The Canadian driver is teamed up with Australian Sharna Burgess in their quest for DWTS' coveted Mirrorball Trophy.
Burgess said she's trying to keep herself and Hinchliffe focused on the task ahead, even though they came out of the first week tied for first place.
"I just want to keep us focused on us and week-to-week doing the best job we can do, but it's pretty hard to ignore the chatter and hearing people say he's a contender for the finals, for the Mirrorball," Burgess said. "They're all very big words and very big things to live up to."
RTV6 Sports Anchor Dave Furst caught up with Hinchcliffe and Burgess in between practices. See how Hinchcliffe says he's balancing the two in the video player above.
