Saw you on ET tonight talking about your big win.
Also saw Adriana. She sounds like a lovely girl who makes you very happy. That’s nice to see.
And Kati and Eduardo… That little boy is so cute.
There’s too many places to leave you a comment…but here it goes.
I was kinda chanel surfing and found out that you were going to be on Regis & Kelly….DAMN YOU LOOKED GOOOOOOOOD!
I love your smile, and your great attitude. Well, duh…of course you were in a good mood.
But you do always seem to have that can-do attitude…i love it!
I was so glad to see you this morning…even if it was only on tv!
You totally made my day!!!!
Have a great week!
And good luck on the next race!! We’ll be watching & cheering you on Helio!
Take Care.

Grande vitória… Esse com certeza será um ano de muitas vitórias, não falo só do lado piloto, fala tambem na parte pessoal…voce está fazendo história aí nesse país que maltrata tanto os brasileiros, mas eles vão ter que te engulir…
Receba de um fã de automobilismo, do fã do homem da cerca, fã de brasileiros, como Senna, que voce consiga trazer muito mais vitórias para esse nosso POVO Brasileiro tão sofrido, mas que tem esperança de dias melhores.
Um Grande abraço a voce e a todos os membros de sua equipe.
Até as próximas vitórias…

Congratulations on being cleared of that last charge today, leading Carb Day practice, AND to the #3 pit crew on winning the pit stop challenge.
I see good things coming for you Sunday Helio.
Mario Lopez said he would be at Indianapolis tonight. I would tune in everyone.
Helio - It was nice to see and hear you on your ET video, with that smile that we missed so much before but that is in the past, as you say. Cannot still believe your racing comeback for somebody who has not driven for 5-6 months - you are amazing! Indy500 race is just around the corner. Hoping and praying for a safe and winning race for you on Sunday the 24th of May. GO GET THEM HELIO~~~~~~~
Helio, the response of your website to our requests for information, videos, etc. is absolutely incredible. I’ve never seen anyone’s website respond so quickly to requests! You should be very proud of whoever is maintaining this website…it is being done very professionally and with love.
I’ll be at carb day tomorrow with my daughter and my two grandsons. My 10 year old grandson has become really interested in Indycar racing due to my (grandma’s) interest. It is such a joy to watch him experience this awesome sport for the first time!
I also drove my mother (89 years old) around the track on Wednesday, as she is the one who originally got me interested in Indycar racing many many years ago. It was a one-of-a-kind exhilirating experience for both of us. I don’t think either of us stopped smiling for about an hour after we finished driving around the oval. What a priviledge it was to experience just a tiny part of what you do…unbelievably exciting and fun!!!!
Stay safe on Sunday!!! and Climb that fence!!!
Acelera meu filho!!!!
Ganha a corrida domigo e pula no alambrado e vai pra galera!!
Mas certifique-se que aquele leite não tem água no meio pra render sabe!
Você merece!!!
Helio, so good to see you so happy again. Love that smile! And you look so handsome! You really are on the “right track”. I was glad you talked about Adriana and what she means to you. She must be a very special person. And I agreed with you about Shawn winning DWTS. Life is good! Now to concentrate on Indy 500. As always, best of luck!!!!
I missed that too. But I will certainly watch EXTRA tonight !
Castroneves Racing PR gets major kudos for uploading all the new stuff so quickly. You guys are doing a great job!!! First class operation!
Well Helio. Your pick to win DWTS was correct.
Great interview on ET Helio. Can’t wait to see you tonight.
Great interview:) I’m glad that tough time is over and you are able to move on with your life and career. Can’t wait to watch you practice Friday at Carb Day…I’m going to be in attendance. xoxo
@RB: Thank you so much! Ashley actually sent it to me too, but thank you for posting it for me!
Such a sweet interview, Helio. I love seeing you so happy and smiling again, and just getting to talk about all the happy things in your life now. I can feel a win coming up! You deserve it more than anyone else. You are such an amazing person.
Thank you so much for posting this! Helio, you’re absolutely adorable when you say the word ‘girlfriend’. It just makes me smile! I’ve really missed seeing you looking so genuinely happy. It’s amazing. You talk about your family and you smile. You talk about your relationship and you smile. But when you talk about racing, your whole face lights up. Your eyes sparkle and you get excited and you remind me of a little boy at Christmas. Sometimes, when you look at someone, you can see that they were born to do something. And when I look at you, I know you were born to race. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us.
Can’t wait for your next blog post! Hope we get to see you post something before the big day, but I understand it’s a busy time! <3
Kaitlyn - ET Online has a video up of the Helio interview. Check it out. A great interview!

Nice thanks for the update! You are definitely the hottest. xoxo
Haha, I am so upset! ET isn’t on here tonight because a baseball game is on instead. I would much rather watch Helio than baseball!! But I’m excited for Extra, thank you so much for telling us these things will be on!! <3
