Hello everyone,
I haven’t writen in here for a long time, have been so busy this month of July, so many races together, it’s amazing.
Just writing to say that i am in MidOhio, getting ready for sunday (don’t forget to watch).
Also I wanted to tell everyone, that I’m very excited about the Brazil race. We still don’t know where it is going to be, but it’s on March 14th, as you can read in the other post.
As soon as I know where it’s going to be, I’ll let you guys know.
Also, I watched a video recently, that was send to me, and I appreciate this kind of videos, so if you have, please send to info@castronevesracing.com
Here it is:
“Helio Castroneves, was a guest of Infineon Raceway today. Taking part in a Q&A session with fans who had pre-bought tickets for the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma – which will take place on Aug 23-4, 2009″.
Thanks to Chris Flowers

Helio, looking forward to your September blog post. Let us know what you think about the upcoming celebrities on Dancing with the Stars in September. Will you do any ET interviews about it?
Helio, it’s almost September, so we are looking forward to your next blog post from you. Glad you are ok from your dusty spinout on Sunday. It scared me for a minute, because it didn’t look like you were moving in the car! Praying God continues to keep you safe always, and your family and beautiful girlfriend too!
Really enjoyed that video!!! Have not been able to go to one of races, that may have been here in California this year , but believe me , next year. I will be there!!! I really enjoy watching them on TV. Sorry to year about what happened to you in Sonoma. Will your car be ready for the next race? Hope so! Take care GOOD LUCK!!
Vamos em frente que ainda podemos sair c/ mais algumas vitórias este ano, se o MALA do Tony não aparecer.
Esta na hora de este site sair em potugues
Good Luck always and God Bless Helio!!!
Helio….You’re 12 across on the Yahoo crossword puzzle today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve truly enjoyed watching you race this season. Your smile is always contagious and a good lesson to be happy regardless of circumstances. Good luck in your next race!
Helio,
It was grat to watch you race in our home state. Sorry the car wasn’t working for you that day. I was impressed that you got out of the sand without having to be helped. Remember you are never a loser; because you are always a winner with your fans. Sonoma will be a good race for you. Enjoy a little time off. BIG HUG from Rhonda
Well we all have one of those days. I guess it could have been worse though.
Sonoma should be great. It’s a beautiful place.
I’ll be watching. It would be great to go to Brazil next year and watch in person.
I’ve always wanted to go there. Then the next month is Long Beach. I’ve been attending
that race since 1986! haven’t missed a year yet.
Take care.
Denette
Well—-what a day!!!! Nothing worked!
POSITIVE side….You got rid of all the “not-so-good” tires, car, spin, gas shortage..lol– out of the way in one race!
Cleared for take-off for the next Race.
You’re the Best!

Hi Helio! It was great meeting you at Mid-Ohio on Sunday, August 9, 2009. Thanks for taking a picture with me. I was the one wearing the red Helio shirt. Good luck always!
Too bad you weren’t comfortable with you car for most of the race. That’s what the announcers said. Perhaps you’ll have better luck in Sonoma just like you did last year to end a long streak you had had without a win. I wish I could be there in person to cheer for you again. I recall during the “meet and greet” you were asked when your next win would be. You hesitated to reply but the audience yelled out “Today!” and you did it! I believe you can do it again! Just remember that, even if your fans who were there last year can’t be there this year, our spirits will still be rooting for your victory. Godspeed, Helio.

Darn! I pressed “submit” too soon.
I forgot to add that I watched the end of the ALMS race from yesterday after the Indy race. Great run for the de Ferran car. I don’t think you could’ve had a better friend and team leader back in your early days at Penske than Gil de Ferran. Such a classy guy.
I missed most of the race (the satelitte kept cutting in and out and got knocked out due to storms in the area). What happened?
Guess it’ll be a weekend off to recharge your batteries and then a return trip to Infineon. Hopefully, you can repeat. You’ve got nothing to lose when it comes to points. You can gamble a little and go for victories.
I am watching your mid-Ohio race right now. Praying and hoping for a BIG WIN for you, Helio. GOd be with you. HUGs from So CA
Good luck, be safe, and do your best. Whatever you do, whenever I can see you do an interview, dance, or race, I win.
Helio, looks like a great race day! You are always a winner on and off the track, so to the NUMBER ONE Shining Star of Team Penske, as always….
GOOD LUCK & GODSPEED!
BE VERY QUICK!
MOST IMPORTANT, STAY SAFE OUT THERE!
Best of luck today!
That was an excellent video. Thanks for posting it on the site.
You have such a wonderful personality. It was a joy to watch you interact
with the host and the fans. Always love to see that smile.
I consider cheerios my breakfast of champions too. So is Cocoa pebbles the
breakfast of choice with little Eduardo? or just your occasional breakfast chocolate fix?
Have a great day and enjoy the ride!
Three…3…Time Indianapolis Winner…..Good Luck today in Ohio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your fan
Hey Helio. Good luck tomorrow.
Hi Helio
Great video. Just wanted to wish you good luck in the race tomorrow. I will be watching and hoping to see you get a win. Have fun in the race but be safe.
Love ya
Diane
Good luck tomorrow Helio. I haven’t been able to keep up as I’m traveling and in Phoenix right now. I see Briscoe won the pole, so excited for him. Drive safe and have fun! xoxo
Great qualifying run today Helio. Wanted you to win the pole, but at least Ryan got it.
Got a good feeling about you for tomorrow. I think you’re going to win.
Excellent video !! Ya gotta win tomorrow Helio, you are in my home state of OHIO !! Wish I could be there. I will be there in spirit !
Now , my problem…the NASCAR race is on against the INDY race. Do I choose Jeff Gordon or Helio ? Such a dilema !! : )
Wow, what a great video.
You seem like such a nice guy. I hope I’m able to see you “win” in Sonoma….i’m begging my husband to take us. We saw you Long Beach, my first race in person…..it was awesome.
I just wish there were more races nearby, in California, and more races in general.
I am not too happy w/the countdown of races left…it’s sad.
I bet you’re super excited about racing in Brazil…good luck!!!
And…Good Luck in Qualifying, and throughout the race!!
Can’t wait!
Seriously, that was a great question from the little boy…..your breakfast of choice on race day.
My Question: what do you do after a race, if it’s a day race?
p.s. thanks to the person who sent in this video and for posting it on you tube.
That was a great video Helio. Looking forward to watching the race Sunday.
All the best to you, Ryan and Will – go get those Target Boys!!!
Great video!! You were really on!! Good luck in the Buckeye state and go get em Racing Champion!!
Helio – you are so funny and entertaining on that video and fast with a response! LOL. Am glad you also enjoyed that video. Be assured I’ll be watching all your races with “crossed fingers and toes” and screaming for you to win and/or be on the podium, and also to go up the leaderboard. Have fun in racing as always, and be safe!

Very cool! I’m a Cheerios girl.
Good luck this weekend & stay safe!!
Oi…
Que esteja indo tudo ótimo em Mid-Ohio…desejo um ótimo treino, qualifying, e uma bela corrida!!!
Espero te ver escalando o alambrado logo após o fim da prova….
Te cuida sempre!!!
Até mais…
Ahh man! That video was so nice it makes me want to go back to Infineon this year. I was there last year and got to watch you win that race. My husband posted your Meet and Greet with Graham Rahal on youtube. It was an awesome experience and I can’t wait to go again. Not sure I can make this year, though. Best of Luck to you at this weekend’s race. I’ll be cheering for you as always.

Hi Helio!
Great to hear from you! Loved the video!!!!! You’re so entertaining – wonderfully genuine, always speaking to people with such ease – that’s true a gift. You also ALWAYS make time for your fans, and we certainly appreciate it! It’s an honor to be a fan of such a fine young man! You’re always in my prayers – I pray for your safety and success, and I still feel you’re gonna grab the Championship this year – but you may keep us on the edge of our seats till the very last race!
Wishing you all the very best…..and a WIN in the upcoming race…..
Sandy
Show Helinho…
Eu, como brasileiro, fico muito orgulhoso de ver como vc e os outros pilotos são queridos por aí em terras do norte da américa. Também, com esse senso de humor, impossível não gostar de um cara como vc!!
Parabéns e vamos pra cima em Mid-Ohio!!

Great to hear from you!!!
Good luck and stay safe this weekend. I’ll be watching and rooting for you. Love you!!!
