Hi Helio. Hope you’re keeping busy during this off season. I’ll bet you’re happy Massa won today’s race in Brazil. I was rooting for him to win, but–gasp–for Hamilton to win the championship. Hang in there and keep your chin up. Many of us, your fans, are hoping to see you around somewhere, anywhere, as soon as possible. Even if it’s not soon, I will not forget how much your spirit lifted up my spirit. I’m still keeping you and your family in my prayers and hope this ordeal will end swiftly. May God bless all of you with serenity.

Hi Helio, I’m a mom of a 35 year old and know -0- about your racing career. I first saw you on Dancing with the Stars. I kept telling my son that you were doing a wonderful job…you would be the winner. I think I embarrased my son bragging on you so much. Sorry, I have not kept up with your racing career but I do wish you the very best in all your races…stay safe. I hated to hear about the IRS problem. The mom in me says, “get some good legal help the is willing to help you and not themselves”. Best Wishes in all your races***Stay Safe***Keep Smiling***Keep on Dancing too!
A mom who loves your smile:)

Helio, Just want you to know that you are quite an inspiration! What a true spirit you are!
It has been such a joy to watch you both on the race track and the dance floor.
You have inspired me to want to learn how to dance! You have also inspired me to FINALLY go see a race. I FINALLY got to meet you in KY this past August. You are even more handsome in person!!!!
Good luck and best wishes to you and your family during this IRS mess! Just know that your fans love and believe in you and you will come out the winner that you are!!!!
Please stay safe and God Bless! Good luck in Australia!!!

Love, Amy

Helio-Congratulations on the Petit Le Mans P2 Win. We love you despite the media attack you’re facing. You’ve proven you’re a great race car driver in any venue, as well as a great sport, and all around nice person. Keep smiling and believing and everything will go your way. With so many sports legends facing controversy in this world, consider this an opportunity for you to really make an impression with not only your fans, but also with the young sports enthusiasts who are looking for role models that they can aspire to become. How you handle this public challenge is no different from how you handle the race where you’ve been penalized and start last. We want to see you win this one too. We know you can do it.

Hi Helio,
Not sure if you remember me, but I was responsible for your pit fire safety at the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix. Just wanted to tell you that it was a pleasure working with your crew. Not to mention how “fan friendly” you were during the trials and after the race.
My family had taped the race and my wife shows the kids how you faced adversity with class and respect for all.
Hope to see you back next year.
I’ll be there as well…suited up and ready to go…
Caio,
Tom

Hi Helio
I just wanted to congratulate you once again. I’m the lady behind the desk at Chicagoland. I’d like to give you the 10 minutes you wanted for yourself after the race. It was a pleasure to shake your hand and see your smile; you are such a character! I was going to whisper something in your ear, but probably would have lost my job. My question to you would be ‘Do you get tired of being told where to be, what to do and when; or do you take it in stride as part of the job?’ I did feel sorry for you that day. I’ve enjoyed watching you in our media center over the years. We don’t name favorites either for NASCAR or IRL, but I watch Indy Racing far more than ever. Looking forward to seeing you next year.

Helio, I see that you will be in the ALMS. Terrific! It sounded like an awful long time to wait to see you race again until Oct. 26th at Surfers Paradise. Now we only have to wait til Oct. 4th to have the pleasure of watching you race again. That is a big relief. Your fans get Helio-withdrawal so its really good news to find some relief sooner. As always, best of luck!

Hi Helio, You are without a doubt a champion, a hero and an all around loved and respected guy! Just read all the good things people write to and about you. I can’t believe I missed all those years watching you race. Not til a year ago on DWTS did so many of us first get to watch you and now cant quit!!! DWTS picked the right guy to be on the show, you did so much for it and for the IRL, and for us too. So many new and forever fans! Your attitude, personality , extraordinary talents, (and dont forget a gorgeous smile) are simply irresistable!!!!
