INDIANAPOLIS — Schmidt Peterson Motorsports has signed technology company Arrow Electronics as primary sponsor for new Canadian driver James Hinchcliffe.

Arrow worked with Sam Schmidt last year on machine-to-machine technologies that enabled the team owner to drive a modified Corvette at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last May. Schmidt has been a quadriplegic since a 2000 accident during IndyCar practice.

Hinchcliffe, a native of Oakville, Ont., joined SPM during the off-season to replace Simon Pagenaud in the No. 77 Honda. But the team is changing the car to No. 5 to mark Arrow's "Five Years Out" initiative.

Arrow Electronics is a global provider of products, services and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions.

Arrow is a supply channel partner for more than 100,000 original equipment manufacturers in 56 countries.
