Helio Castroneves Wins Big At The Indy 500

Racecar driver Helio Castroneves stopped by to talk with Suki about winning this year's Indy 500 race -- his third victory to date.

Racing for Penske, Castroneves became the first driver to win the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" two years in a row since Al Unser won in 1970 and 1971. At the age of 27, Castroneves became the youngest driver to win the race twice and the only driver ever to win in his first two attempts. He was named 2000's “Next Hottest Racecar Driver” by ESPN the Magazine. Additionally, Castroneves became a contestant on ABC's Dancing With the Stars in Fall 2007.
