Hello everyone, sorry that took long again to send messages and show what is going on, but this time of the year it is very busy.
Well, Santa was busy…actually in our home we had a wonderful Christmas, with a beautiful tree and we had a lot of friends together with the family….
Now we are preparing for the beginning of 2009 and I cant wait…. if I take long to show the pictures please forgive me but I maybe celebrating still….hehehe
Have fun guys and Happy 2009!!!







man, I sure hope you are able to get your third at INDY, I have been waiting for it since 2003 I sometimes wonder if you didn’t let Gil win that one…. ( Good for you if you did ), probably one of the better team mates you ever had. ( in my opinion )
GOOD LUCK IN 2009 !
Hi Helio -
We heard that Roger decided to run one car for the Grand Am series – it was disappointing to us
but I am sure there is a very good reason for it. As you always say: It is what it is, Mr. Positive.
We saw on TV that black car used for testing -sure didn’t look pretty like the one you and Ryan
drove at the ALMs. Hopefully, you will be racing with the Team beginning March 2009 testing then
real racing beginning April. God bless you always. Keep up the faith, as we also do.
Happy New Year Helio to you and your family ! What a wonderful picture ! I hope and pray 2009 will be a year of joy for you .
Hi Helio.
Today is my 17th birthday and two of my gifts were your 2009 calender and die cast.
Helinho,nós aqui do Brasil estamos torcendo muito para que você volte a nos alegrar novamente nas pistas.Desejo a você um 2009 repleto de realizações e saúde!
Não perco uma corrida sua.OBS:Em especial a sua ultima corrida,foi sensacional!!!
Hi Helio -
Hope you and your family and friends had a great New Year’s Eve celebration. Wishing,
hoping and praying that you will have a better new year. Praying and hoping that Kati
and you will be cleared of all accusation before racing season 2009 begins…so we can
continue to watch you racing and winning again this season 2009!
We are hoping that you will be one of Team Penske’s racers testing at Daytona. Apparently,
Team Penske will be giving more info tomorrow, Jan 05. Remaining Positive!
Anjo mandei uma mensagem para vc pelo Myspace. Quando puder dë uma lida ok.

Hey Helio, do you change diapers??
Helio,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Looks like you and Eduardo had a Merry Christmas. Hope your time with family and friends was full of excitement.For Christmas my husband gave me the gift of 6 laps at 140mph at certain tracks. Kentucky Speedway is the closest to us so I think I will go there. If I didn’t say I was both excited and nervous I would be lying. Send some of your nerve my way please. I’ve been in an accident going around a curve and it’s not fun;I saw my life flash before my eyes. Well I better get to bed, I’ve had the stomache flu today and need to get some rest. Our prayers are with you and your family. I know things are going to turn out great for you. BIG HUG from Rhonda
Helio, what a beautiful picture of you and Eduardo. There is a light in your eyes I haven’t seen before…a result of that beautiful baby no doubt. I am a grandma to 1 granddaugher and 3 grandsons, so I recognize that look of pure joy. Wishing you and your family a wonderful 2009 with a quick resolution to any difficulties you have experienced. We all miss you very much!!
Love, Barb in Indy.
Happy 2009 Helio! Best of luck in everything you do. I hope you finally get that Indycar championship this year. You’re the best!
A toast (clink-clink) from our home to your home for a great year in ’09.
Happy New Year Helio…I wish you the very best in ’09!
Hi Helio – HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!

Helio, It sounds like you had a very nice Christmas with family and friends and that adorable nephew of yours! What a doll he is (just like his uncle Helio) You two can really light up a room with your smiles and make my day with your pictures. Thanks for posting them. Will be looking forward to more news and events in 2009. Keep celebrating, you deserve to. We all wish you nothing but the best.
Two cute sweethearts. Glad to see you happy and well. Have fun bringing in the new year. Wishing and Praying for all the best for you and yours in the coming year. May God bless you abundantly.
Thanks so much for sharing the picture of you and Eduardo – You do look content and happy – which make me smile, too. Enjoy the rest of the holidays (he,he,he) – We are all looking forward to watching you race in the upcoming year. Continuing to pray that EVERYTHING goes well for you.
Also, your fan forever

Nossa Hélio, essa foto está linda, espetacular, talvez a mais bonita de todas tuas fotos…Adorei!!!
O que esperar de 2009??? Muita coisa boa!!! Temos que ter fé e esperança acima de tudo…o que depender de nós, será feito (tomara que todos, todas as pessoas mesmo, pensem assim, p/ tentarmos fazer um mundo um pouquinho melhor a cada dia)!!!
Para começar, nada melhor que iniciar o ano com pensamentos e sentimentos positivos!!!
Que o teu Reveillon seja ótimo, com muitos amigos, saúde, paz e alegria!!!
Abraços carinhosos a ti, tua família e equipe da Castroneves Racing (e um amasso no fofo do Eduardo)!!
I met you at Sear’s Point California….oh sorry Infinion race track in the Elevator…..LOL, it was crazy to see you standing there when the doors opened up…….I was in shock and waited for the doors to shut before hitting the button again…..seeing you still standing there and trying not to laugh as you said to come in was very funny to me and my family on the way home.
thanks for being a good sport and letting me ride down with you and taking a picture with me, otherwise my family never would have believed that memory I will have a lifetime.
I have always watched you race and cheer for you to be safe and enjoy your ride.
I hope someday my son will follow your footsteps, for now he drives karts and dreams.
Best of luck to you in 2009 and always
Helio – that is a happy picture of you and Edoardo. Happy to know you have a good
Christmas celebration with family and friends, and “are still celebrating”. Very
happy to hear from you again. Prayers for you and Kati are continuing – we are
looking forward to good results on your case so that we can watch you racing again.
You are the Champion!!!
Helio, so happy to hear you had a wonderful Christmas. It is so much more fun when there is a sweet baby in the mix. You look happy and contented so I feel a little more optimistic about your future in this country. I can hardly wait to see you race again and flash that marvelous smile when you win or lose. We still pray for you and Kati and are confident in God’s grace. Best wishes to you and your family in this glorious Christmas season.
How cute is that picture!! Both you and Eduardo are absolutely adorable. I’m so glad to hear you had such a good holiday! I hope you have a muito bom (that is Portuguese I learned from you!) New Years Eve!! :* I love you! <3
MUITO LINDO(s)
Que Deus abençoe o novo ano proporcionando alegrias infinitas aos seus corações.

So happy to hear from you that you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. Eduardo what a cutie he is always smiling like his uncle. I am getting excited about 2009 and seeing you again racing. I am going to buy tickets for Sears Point for myself and my 10 year old grandson he is really getting so excited. I want to wish you and your family Happy New Year!!!! I agree I hope your New Year is filled with lots of wins…both on the track and off. I am still saying my prayers every night for you and your family.
Your fan forever
