Indianapolis 500 Winner!

Today was a good day for Helio Castroneves, that’s because he won the Indianapolis 500, the best race in racing. This is the third time he’s won this top race in his young life. If he pulls it out and wins another Indianapolis 500 he will join the ranks with A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears. Considering he’s only 34 years old he just might pull that off. He could also become the very first person to win 5 or more. This win also creates a first for Roger Penske. Penske now holds the most wins has a car owner, 15 Indy 500 wins. And to think that Castroneves was almost sentence to 6 years in jail for tax evasion, which he was acquitted on those charges. And the government dropped the other charges against him as well. So I guess he’s had a pretty good month and a half, wouldn’t you agree?
