Just wanted you to know the car in the winners circle was your number 3 car. Sorry about that but I wrote it right before I went to bed.I was a little tired (ok,I was really tired) Once again you are a true WINNER and an inspiration.I hope to see that wonderful smile of yours on ET soon. Keep strong and know that we are all here for you.Hopefully this trying time will be over soon, but I know how slow the system can move. We just want to see you do what you love to do with nothing to worry about except who you're going to pass on the race track. Here's another BIG HUG with Lots of Love. Helio,

Eles se julgam muito acima das pessoas e da razão. A maneira como te trataram foi vergonhoso, não para você, que tenho certeza absoluta que não tem culpa alguma nestas questões, mas para eles. Realmente mostra como se julgam os donos do mundo. Lamento que esteja passando por isso, sei que deve ter perdido muitas noites de sono, mas neste momento é que você vai saber quem são seus amigos e quando você for declarado inocente, eles estarão do seu lado. Acredite em você, assim como você demosntrou nesta última corrida, brilhantemente vencida, que você irá superar tudo isso. Estamos aqui, te apoiando.

This is not the first time that people have not been properly served by their accountants and lawyers. For our court system to put you in shackles for non-violent charges, before you are even found guilty, only shows how evil the system has become. We know that you are an honorable man and have not done anything intentionally wrong. Hold your head high and don't let them beat you down. Your faith will keep you from harm. Your fans know who the real criminals are here. Be strong for all of us. Helio,

Voce provará a todos que é um cara honesto, integro e se algo foi feito de maneira "estranha" não foi sua culpa, afinal voce é piloto de corridas e não advogado ou contador. Estarei aqui em SP/Brasil torcendo e rezando por voce. Fique c/Deus. Helinho tenha fé e levanta a cabeça.

I was so concerned about you racing this weekend with all that you have going on, but you went through with it and pulled out on top! Our prayers are with you and your family during this time! I know there is more behind it than we are hearing through the news and that in the end you will come out ok. I am just so sorry that you are being targeted like this and going through this whole ordeal. And that I can't see you win in Australia and show up Scott Dixon on home base!!! Lots of love to you Helio! Helio, You and Ryan were great and once again you showed your true colors!

I wanted to tell you that I turned 50 last week.My husband threw me a party and made my cake.The zero in 50 he made look like a race track with tiny indy race cars, complete with fans in the stands and your number 6 car in the winners circle.You would have loved it.You are a WINNER and you will get through this.Maybe I'll bring a picture of the cake and show it to you at one of the fan fairs next year.We all plan on seeing you there with a smile on your face.Until then here is a BIG HUG from my husband and myself.And congratulations again to you and Ryan and Team Penske on a fantastic race.

Chains and shackles indeed!! Please keep the faith and know you have an army of fans and advocates of justice praying for you and seeking guidance for your defense. Thanks for the win in ALMS and your joyous countenance as you climbed the fence and thanked God for your victory. You will have many trying days and weeks ahead of you and we will be just as faithful. Be safe, be fast and be victorious. God bless you and Kati and all of your family.
