Thanks Eduardo for putting our minds at ease. Tell the family we send our love and we cannot wait for January. Big Hug From Rhonda and Tom.
I’ve left a message on your Facebook page, but wanted to leave one here as well. Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your daughter. I am so happy for you and Adrianna. Hopefully, next year will be your year…beautiful new baby, 4th Indy 500 win and, finally, an Indycar championship.
We look forward to hearing from you soon and seeing your commercial. Hope all is going well. Can’t wait to see you race again next year!
Love you, Helio!

Thanks for letting us know. I understand that our boy’s been busy with not only business but family too.
Can’t wait to see the commercial and for Helio to make a blog post.
Good News!!!! Can’t wait for tomorrow. Glad everything is OK~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your fan
@Rhonda: Hello Rhonda, and everyone. Helio is currently in Miami, and hopefully tomorrow he will have time to actually sit down and write a post.
In the mean time, also tomorrow we will put online the commercial he filmed for HCA, along with a tease from a second commercial.
He has been traveling a lot, and getting ready for january
Thank you all for the messages, he is always happy to read them!
Helio,
No Twitters either. We are worried. Hopefully you are busy getting the baby’s room ready or plannig a wedding as I have heard that was the natural next step. Adriana is very friendly and easy to talk to as with the rest of your family. They talk to you like you have known them forever. Anyway Adriana makes the perfect match for you, and the baby is going to be a very lucky little girl.
Just please let us knw everything is okay. Remember after going through this past year with you we feel like extended family not just fans.
Helio, Helio, wherefore art thou Helio???????????
@BA:
Helio,
Hoping that everything is okay with Adriana & the baby. I considered the fact that, since you have not blogged or twittered, maybe there is a problem. Sincerely hope that you are just very, very busy. If you need good thoughts & prayers, your fans are here for you. You already know that!
Okay Helio…it’s time to throw us a bone to keep us coming back!
Yes. I agree with Rhonda
I know you like to lie low and keep your private life private especially during the off season, but we sure would love to hear from you.
I read somewhere that you and Adriana were going to Columbia soon so she can show you the area where she grew up. That sounds like fun. Hope you two enjoy yourselves. You two seem so happy together and very much in love.
And can’t wait to see you, Ryan, and Will together full time next year as teammates (been hearing about the rumors that Will’s being signed full time for next year). Very talented, skillful, and handsome trio you three are.
I meant send my best.
Helio,
Please update us on Adriana and how she is doing. Hope you are doing great and enjoying this time off waiting for your presious gift to arrive. We just wonder How you all are doing. Send my be to Eduardo, Kati, and give that sweet nephew a kiss from me. Big Hug, From Rhonda and Tom too of course.
Hey Helio!
Congrats on a great season, and thanks for providing the wins to celebrate at Indy and Texas! Definately the high point in the racing season [Especially if you consider I'm a Dale Jr fan, too!]. Hadn’t gotten to leave you a note here in a while, but hope the off season finds you getting well rested and ready for another run at a fourth Indy and that elusive championship in 2010. And to the other fans writing here, give Penske Racing a look online or call the gift shop-they may have the calendars again in time for Christmas.
Godspeed, Helio!

@Paige: If you find out could you let me know.
I don’t know, but I want a 2010 Helio calender again. I loved my 2009 one.
I am looking for the 2010 Helio Castroneves calendar can anyone help me??? anyone?
David
Helio, at our pep rally today, I was thinking of you when our “fun-tastic” band was playing. I recognized “Land of a 1000 Dances”, your freestyle song, almost immediately and I was keeping in tune with the beat as was my new crush whom I was standing close to (his personality reminds me of yours, happy guy, very sweet and nice, and very very mischievious).
I do hope everything is continuing to go well with Adriana’s pregnancy and that you two are having fun preparing for Mikaella’s arrival. And we would love to hear from you. Do give us a blog post when you have time in between getting ready for the 2010 season and your beautiful baby daughter.
Also, did not realize that if she does arrive on her due date she will share a birthday with Gil de Ferran’s daughter. That’s kind of sweet.
Just saw the clip of you teaching the guys at Penske to “spill the coffee” on the Penske site. LOL! At least they all tried even Will. The looks on their faces were hilarious.
Hope you have a great off season (which I’m sure you will). I guess you and Adriana are “nesting” right now. Hope all continues to go well and Mikaella is born healthy and beautiful in January.
Still wouldn’t mind getting a blog update from you when you have the chance.
Congratulations on a great season and that you stayed safe throughout. And now congratulations to you and Adriana on the upcoming arrival of a new little life. Can’t wait to hear you announce the wedding date as well. Blessings to all. Looking forward to pictures and seeing you win next year at Indy and everywhere else!!
Wow I had no idea. Guess I’ve been busy with life lately.
I know you will be a great Daddy. I see how you are with your nephew.
I bet you can hardly wait. congrats to you both. Cute name for her too!
Looking forward to Long Beach 2010 and hope to talk to you again.
Luv ya Helio.
Wondering why you have—–Next Race–December 31st..7PM??? Thank You.
We look at everything…..LOL
your fan
Helinho,
Parabéns por tudo! Vc é um orgulho nacional. Se vc quiser relembrar da gravação com a Dani Monteiro, a bordo da Ferrari, no autódromo aí em Miami, veja na Tv Jam, o canal jovem na web que a gente da KN Video está produzindo.O link direto, http://tvjam.ig.com.br/vaivaler_helio
Ou o canal , http://www.tvjam.com.br

Abs e tudo de bom,
FAbi
PS- Filho é a melhor coisa do mundo. Parabéns!!!! Tenho uma filhinha de 2 anos e 10 meses, ela é minha paixão. Demais!!!!
Congratulations to you and Adriana on your impending parenthood! So happy for all of your good news and success this past year. You will be a terrific father and she will surely be gorgeous baby with parents like you two!
I agree. Love your pics of Eduardo and I can tell you’re excited about becoming a daddy just by reading your tweets.
I can see the joy on your face with you just holding him. I can only imagine how you’ll be with your own little one.
We will see pics of her within the first few days after she arrives (and at least one of her with her proud papa). Right?
Helio, enjoyed the twitter pics of you and your nephew! So cute…
And glad to see you posting on Twitter about you becoming a daddy in January.
I think we’d all like to see her middle name be “Indi” or “Indy”…think about it…really!!
Love, Barb
@Lisa: I like it too. Nice tribute to one of Daddy’s favorite places too.
@Lisa: I totally agree! That would be so cute.
I think everybody is going to have to watch out for you in 2010 Helio. It’s your year. You are going to be “the man” and win quite a bit (including tying with AJ, Big Al, and Rick for 500 #4). Come Homestead, you, Tim, and Roger will be posing with that championship trophy.
Your life is going great. You have so much to look forward to next year, the first becoming a father to a beautiful baby girl who is going to be the center of your world. Plus, a good friend of yours will hopefully be back as a car owner (see if you and Mikaella can team up and get Gil to smile big).
Oh, Helio… you are going to be a father… how cool is that?
Your life since Dancing with the stars has been a consistent testimony of how, when the Lord closes one door, He opens another… and another… and another.
God Bless you, Adriana, and your little girl. The first time you see her, you will never be the same. I can’t imagine anything that could make your smile bigger or brighter. Congratulations.
Hey,
Why not Indi for a middle name????
If the baby’s sex was determined by ultrasound, it could be wrong. Three friends of mine who were told, by way of a sonogram, they were having a girl were surprised to give birth to a baby boy. All who were told it was boy had a boy. ~smile~
@Barb from Indianapolis:
Thank You Barb for the nice comments! They are Posted on the Forum! Lucky You–living in Indianapolis!
Just saw the exciting news on US Magazine. Helio will have to teach Mikaella a few steps on the dance floor…………or maybe how to drive 200mph??? Congratulations and God bless you all.
Congratulations and wishing you and Adriana the very best on the next chapter and one of the most exciting times of your lives. The world will feel like a different place once you share it with your child. Hope you enjoy your off season and its time to take care of Adriana and Tuggy too!
Helio, I hope you have a wonderful off season. I’m sure you’re going to have a good time continuing with your workouts and playing some tennis, playing with Tuggy (who I’m sure is also going to love his “sister”), playing with Eduardo (I’m sure you and Adriana have had a lot of practice with him), enjoying the holidays and your time away from everything, and starting off your year with the arrival of your beautiful baby girl. Definitely a lot more fun than last year.
Will you still try to tear yourself away from your daughter (which I’m sure will be hard to do) and go run the Rolex 24?
What great news about your baby girl. We are so happy for you and Adriana. Best of luck. Great season we enjoyed it very much. Going to Watkins Glen and seeing you up close was great. We are looking forward to next year. Sorry about Dancing we know you should have won. It would have been great Dave voted a ton of times for you. So happy this year has turned around for you. Many good times to come. Looking forward to next year New Baby, winning at Indy for the 4th time, and the championship. Take care and much happiness for you and Adriana on the up coming birth of your baby girl.
Deb and Dave
@3Penskefan: I agree with Barb. Helio is very lucky to have fans who will respect his privacy. How does someone join your private forum???
@3Penskefan: You all are great! To have known this happy news, but respectfully kept silent is awesome! Helio is so lucky to have fans like you!! Blessings to All!
Helio and Adriana,
I am so happy for both of you. Adriana, not only are you beautiful on the outside but also on the inside. And Helio – you will alway be OUR CHAMPION – soon to be a wonderful Father. May you both (as well as your respective families) have a wonderful, relaxing and much deserved rest. Please, please keep in touch. You will be in our prayers.
Just one of your many, many, MANY fans
Pegi, from Boston.

We Luv Ya Helio!!!!!!
Helio,
Back at the Indy 500 I handed you the “Up and Coming Racer” onesie to sign for our grandson Oliver who was to be born the next weekend. When I handed it to you and you said “Is this for me? Oh thank you” (You seemed really excited which I thought was a little odd at the time). Then I said “No this is for my grandson, but when it’s time I’ll get you one.” I told Tom that I found it odd that you thought the onsie was for you. Now I know why you were so excited; you had just found out you were going to be a daddy. Okay so we owe you one. HeHeHe. BIG HUG from Rhonda and Tom
Helio & Adriana,
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Tom thought Adriana looked like she had a baby bump when we talked to her, but we thought it would be rude to ask. When we got back to Ohio Tom looked for it on the internet. He came in and told me to “Think Pink”. We are sooo happy for you both and hope to meet this new addition to your family in the future. She is going to be one beautiful little girl, she has a handsome daddy with a great personality and a beautiful sweet mommy. The name you have pick is beautiful and I am sure she is going to be one spoiled little girl. I know your mother and father have to be so excited that along with their very handsome grandson, they will soon have a beautiful grandaughter. It was wonderful to talk to you and your family over the weekend. Keep us posted on the baby news.
BIG BIG HUG from both Rhonda & Tom
Just read the news about your impending fatherhood in January. Wow…… you really did have a big May!! LOL Very happy for you and Adriana. If you guys get married up here in ATL, I hope you have someone snap some good pics and I hope it’s not too cold. You’ll have extra joy this off season and over the holidays. No dark clouds overhead this year. Make the most of it and enjoy!! Great season. I know you had a few disappointments but on balance, I’d say this is one of you best years ever for many reasons.
Chuck
Helio, Congratulations on a remarkable season for you! The best is yet to come with the addition of your new baby girl! I am sure you are over the moon with joy and anticipation. Enjoy every minute!!!! Congratulations to you and Adriana, what a nice family.
Helio,
Such wonderful news, I know that you will be such a good daddy!!! What a difference a year makes. Enjoy!!!
Lisa
Well. I guess your offseason is going to be a lot quieter and probably just as fun and special as ever for you.
And I love the name Mikaella. And I’m glad you’re going to have some time to spend with your daughter in between testing and getting ready for what will be your championship year.
Congratulations Daddy! I’m so happy for you and Adriana and the rest of your family. New additions are always a blessing. Life takes on a whole new meaning when you become a parent. I’m so tickled for you. May God bless all of you with good health and happiness.
kelly~
Helio and Adriana, congratulations on the big news! Apparently it will be in the Indianapolis Star newspaper on Sunday Morning (Oct 12) in an article by Curt Cavin. It’s already online. Very happy for both of you!
Congratulations Helio!!!! You will be a wonderful father!!!! Enjoy this time:) xoxo
Helio…
So happy you finished 5th and how come you haven’t told us your big news? I’m upset you haven’t said anything.
Just read that you’re going to be a daddy! Wonderful news. Already know she’s going to be beautiful and spoiled.
Congratulations to you, Adriana, and the entire family.
From 11th to 5th… Not bad, although I’d guess it’s not the finish you would have wanted. But considering how practice went, I think it was very good. And, 4th in driver points for the season is still impressive and you got your 3rd Indy 500 win, so I think it was a great season for you. God Bless You, Helio. Until next season… I hope we get to see you around, either on tv or magazines would be nice. Have a happy and healthy off season enjoying your family, friends and life itself. Always Keep the Faith and lean on our Heavenly Father in prayer. Godspeed to you and yours!
In Christ,
kelly~
Well what an exciting finish for the race and the Championship today! Sure do wish the fuel game had worked out for Ryan to finish 1st. Just happy that it was a good finish for Team Penske.
Also congratulations to you and Adriana on the baby news! A little girl – I bet you’re over the moon!

Congrats to you and you girlfriend, a new racing girl will be born soon.
Good luck today!
Was home in time to see you be interviewed and the replay your wreck in practice. Ouch! Something definately broke in that car. Nothing though was more special than seeing that you were OK (a little sore, but OK) and your big bright smile.
Hopefully that bright smile can be seen from victory lane this afternoon. And Ryan’s the champion. If he ends up being the champion, will you try to convince to climb the fence with you like you did to Gil in ’03 when he won Indy?
Helio, thank God you were not seriously injured yesterday! My thoughts and prayers are with you, Ryan and the entire Team Penske today. Podium win for you and Ryan! Helio, you may be playing Wingman today, but you are the Winner and Champion always and forever! For the last time this season, as always, I wish you……
GOOD LUCK & GODSPEED!
BE VERY QUICK!
MOST IMPORTANT! STAY VERY, VERY SAFE OUT THERE!
WE LOVE YOU, HELIO, YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!
I hope you recover quickly from those aches and pains after todays crash during practice. God bless you, Helio. You still light up my spirit when I see you on tv. I’m sure I’m not the only fan you have that effect on. Good Luck in tomorrow’s race! After your comeback this season you’re the only Champion in my book.
kelly~
Good luck ih Homestead!! Hope you end the year with a “W”!! IF not, hopefully Ryan will get the win and the championship. Go get em Racing Champion!!
Good luck this weekend. We won’t be able to watch since DirectTV took Versus off but I’ll be pulling for you in my heart!
Love ya’
Helio, last pole run of the season this afternoon! Go for it! As always, I wish you….
GOOD LUCK & GODSPEED!
BE VERY QUICK!
MOST IMPORTANT, STAY VERY, VERY SAFE OUT THERE!
Good Luck Good Luck Good Luck—3 times for the #3 Driver at Homestead!!
your fan
Helio,
Good luck this weekend!!! Drive fast, stay safe and have fun!!!!!!
FINALLY! It felt really good to get my email notification from Indycar.com about this weekends race. I’m looking forward to the race and wish you a fantastic finish. Godspeed.
kelly~
I still think you won Helio. There is no way you and some of the others could’ve had less votes than Sabrina. I’m not bashing her by any means (she was pretty good), but why bring back somebody who has come back to dance before? Also think they should’ve brought back one male and one female celebrity to make it a little more fair.
Maybe they’ll bring you back later this season. If Juju is not too busy, maybe y’all could perform a dance. If not, I’m sure you’ll be there in the audience enjoying yourself.
Oh well. Enough about you being robbed of a chance to dance again. This weekend, it’s on to Homestead and you’re going to help Ryan win his first title while trying to get a win for yourself. Let’s show the F1 teams how a teammate is suppose to help their championship contending teammate win a championship. I know you will not play dirty to help Ryan. He didn’t to help you last year. Nothing would be cooler than to see you about to climb the fence after winning the race and convincing Ryan to join you as a champion (hey, you got Gil to do it in ’03). I would love to see that.
Speaking of Gil, I hope you get a chance to keep up with ALMS activiities at Leguna Seca. I’m sure you would like to be there supporting him in his final race before he takes on full time ownership and kicking butt with his ALMS and Indy cars next year, but I just know you’ll be there in spirit.
@Chuck in Atlanta: I think it would depend on who wanted to come back or not! We know Helio would love to, but I don’t think Apolo really wants to or has the time. And Emmitt doesn’t seem to really do anything with the show anymore either, where Drew is always back!
That being said, Helio, you should have won this for sure. But hopefully you’ll be able to come back for another dance and actually get to do this one with your Juju!
@texaslive: But if it’s a competition of champions, does Julianne go with Helio or Apollo? hmmmmmmmm The difficulties of being a two-time champ.
Of course Cheryl and Mark would have the same challenge.
Really disappointed Helio about Sabrina being the pick but it does prove that season five was the best season so far. Surely someone at DWTS has considered a war of champions and getting all of the winners from each season back together again for a competition. Maybe I want what I want but Julianne needs something to do besides those distressing acne commercials. I’m just saying.
Maybe they needed a cheetah to replace the chimpanzee that was supposed to be on. PETA pursuaded ABC to cancel the chimpanzee, so why not the cheetah?
I’m starting to sound as old and crotchety as Len Goodman and need to take some of my own advice, don’t look at the past, but look to the future.
Have a great race this weekend Helio, I’ll be rooting for you and Briscoe. Ryan is lucky to have you for a teammate cause I believe you will do what you can to help Team Penske win.
Absolutely no mention of how many total votes cast, runner-up, close call…absolutely nothing about the votes. So they don’t close down the voting to almost noon on Tuesday (see 3SimplyTheBest post) and Sabrina was just conveniently able to be on the show within hours of closing down the voting. I don’t think so. Hmmm, this just doesn’t add up, but Helio you are welcome to set me straight.
I was SOOOOOOO disappointed it wasn’t you picked to dance again. I voted and voted and voted until they closed the voting down. I couldn’t believe Sabrina got more votes than you.
Hopefully, you’ll be able to come back to DWTS at some point anyway. We’d all love to see you dance again!
Good luck this weekend and stay safe!

Helio, I’m so disappointed! I find it a little strange that Sabrina won, too. Mel B and Gilles had huge support on the DWTS forum the last week. I was really, really hoping that Gilles would win if Helio couldn’t.
Strange isn’t it that Sabrina won ? Are the Cheeta Girls even a group anymore ? I’m really surprised she had enough fans to vote her in. Not anything against her. I’m sure she will be great, but it won’t be as much fun to watch. If it wasn’t Helio, I would have rather seen Mel B, Joey Fatone or Drew.
Oh well…..
@Rhonda: Glad you had fun at your Indy Experience.
A friend of ours road in an IndyCar at the Walt Disney World Speedway in March. Arie Lyundyk Jr was driving too.
After she road, my best friend and I got a picture with Arie (BTW, he said he thought it was cool that I was in an Helio T-shirt).
Helio,
I thought I’d let you know how our Indy car driving weekend went. Well for me it was disappointing in a way. I didn’t get to drive because I’m to short to reach the peddles(only 5ft). They put as much padding as they could behind me. Well I also couldn’t see the road. I did however get to ride in a double seater and got to go a little over 200 mph. I don’t know how you do it I was dizzy and a little nauseous. Tom did get to drive and got up to speeds over 177 mph. He said it was a scary 177 mph. When I saw that saftey wall barrier it really didn’t look all that safe. There was a 78 year old guy out there driving.He went 133 mph. I thought that was great. Anyway I did have fun even if I didn’t get to drive and Tom was really excited.
We always had respect for what all you do out there on the race track,I just think this took our respect to an all new level. Thanks for doing what you do out there, but please be safe too. I now know what going around The Kentucky Speedway at over 200 mph feels like. It feels like an endless circle. Take Care.
BIG HUG from Rhonda
Helio, You deserved to be there dancing. I have nothing against Sabrina. But we would much rather see your personality and smile as well as those moves on the dance floor. Hope to see you this weekend. BIG HUG from Rhonda
I just heard the news…boo…I was sure it was going to be you – and I couldn’t wait to see you dance again. I agree…recount!
Disappointing but Sabrina is a great dancer and she seems very nice so it should be fun. I have a feeling we have not seen the last of Helio on Dancing With The Stars.
@Barb from Indianapolis: yes a recount
What a bummer! You were the one that was the most fun out of that group.
What I don’t like is that they’ve had Sabrina come back and perform. The others haven’t been, including you.
You’ve never gotten the chance to come back (of course, you’ve had other obligations the others don’t).
I demand a recount!!!
Can’t imagine how you didn’t win!!! Something isn’t right here!!!
*sigh* *shakes head*
Should’ve been you. Didn’t you win that season? I think so. And the fans loved you.
Bet you were still the man who got the most votes. I think they should’ve had the top man and woman vote getters.
We still need to get you back in the ballroom. Maybe next fall (can’t do it during the spring because you’re working).
PIFFLE…..we sure voted & voted for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a GREAT race this week-end. I will be watching for sure!
your fan
Well darn. Really wished we could have pushed you into first in the voting. Would have loved to see you back on the dance floor this season. Hope there is another chance in the future to have you back dancing.
Looking forward to the race this weekend and a First and Second place finish for you and Ryan! Go #3!
how can it be???
Disappointed. That’s all I can say. Dang It!
Rats!!!! It should’ve been you!!!!!!!!
before We forget GO TEAM PENSKE!!!!!!!!
I got up an hour before I went to work and got the last of Deb’s and My votes in. We can’t wait!!!
If your name doesn’t get called tonight, it isn’t from our lack of voting. My fingures are still numb. BIG HUG from Rhonda
Voting is now closed. I was on the site voting away when it shut down! Let’s keep fingers and toes crossed that we’ll hear Helio’s name called tonight! Go, go Helio!
Voting all night while watching DWTS!
Of course, I want to see you dancing again….as well as racing. GO CHAMP! I have been voting eveytime I am on the computer! Good Luck.
Okay I’m back to voting. BIG HUG from Rhonda
Alright Racing Champion; I managed to get some votes in for you. Hope you get to dust off your dancing shoes and “cut a rug” with Julianne!! Best of luck. I’ll be watching for an update so that if you win, I’ll know to get my clicks in for Julianne. BTW, kudos to your web site administrator. Smart use of the web site to engage and involve people.
Voting as I’m watching. In my opinion, nobody is as good as you were on the show (and no man looks as good as you did).
Do you have a favorite (or favorites) for this season yet?
I’m still voting and family is also
Best of luck
Good luck oh Sun. We need to climb the fence.
Love you
You’ve got my votes Helio! cant wait to see you in Miami this weekend! Would love to see you cross the finifh line in 1st place and throw things off for Team Target!
Casting my vote…. over, and over, and over. Get your dancing shoes polished – twinkle toes!
Still voting this end…every chance I get!
Fun Video from your interview…..yes–more Indy 500s!!
Women always want to dance with you…how many more were in line???….cute
your fan
I’ve been voting every day since last Tuesday night!!! You just have to win Helio!!!
Helio,
I had 2 windows open on my computer. One to vote on and one to watch you dance. It’s now 2:30am so I’m going to go to bed. The voting will continue tomorrow. BIG HUG from Rhonda
It would be great to see you dancing again on DWTS.
You’ve got my votes.
Count me in too……..I’m voting!
I’ll just keep voting and voting until the deadline. I can’t wait to see you dance again! And good luck next weekend!
Still voting here, too!
Haven’t stopped voting either. I already got to see my man, Tony Stewart, win today. Hoping Helio gets picked to come dance again and wins in Homestead (with Ryan as champion of course). Also would love to see the de Ferran team pull off a championship and win in ALMS.
WE HAVE NOT STOPPED YET EITHER!!!
I’m still voting too!
@Lisa:
I’m still at it, too! Go, Helio!!!!
@3simplythebest: still voting!!!!!!!
I’m voting every chance I get, would LOVE to see you dance again!! DWTS is not the same without you!
Hey, guys, are you still VOTING! We want Helio back on DWTS. PLEASE KEEP VOTING!!!!!!
I’ve been so down today Helio and I looked at my calender (btw, the October pic of you is just perfect; it’s so you) this evening. I realized that a year ago today those awful charges against you, Kati, and Mr. Miller came out. Thankfully it’s now all behind y’all.
So cool for the Olympics to be in Rio!!!!!!!
I’m voting for you several times every time I get online.
Hopefully we’ll see you on the dance floor again soon!!
Take care,
Lisa
Congrats to Rio on landing the 2016 Olympics (just as I predicted)
I hope the Brazilian Olympic Committee and the government will enlist Helio, TK and others as promotional international ambassadors for the games. While it’s disappointing for Chicgo, most people are very happy for Brazil!!
Brazil wins Olympics! Lots of celebrating going on. And Brazilians know how to celebrate….smile
Oi…
Também estou votando, sempre que posso, mesmo estando no Brasil e não podendo assistir a tua nova dança, infelizmente, buááá… BBBOOOAAA SSSOOORRRTTTEEE nessa também!!!
Até mais…
Would it be possible to add to the IndyCar site the fact that we can vote for Helio as many times as we wish, not just one time, so we can get the vote total as large as possible?
Three votes per minute for me…. Of course, I have a life so I can only vote for a few minutes at a time.
I just posted for my friends on two Tony Stewart forums, a design forum, and a fan fiction forum to vote for you Helio.
Just know we can make you the celebrity to dance.
Vote, Vote, Vote, Vote, Vote, Vote, Vote well you get the point we have to get back to voting!!!
My hand is numb from voting so many times. Tom is voting also and I have asked relatives and friends to vote also. Your gonna win if I have to stay up all night over the weekend. Well I guess I better not stay up all night Friday night, since Tom and I are going to Kentucky Speedway for a class on Saturday on how to drive Indy cars. Then we get to drive them up to 140-160 mph. Can’t wait. I just hope I’m alive to see the race at Homestead the next weekend.

I also posted it on Jeff Gordon’s website. I found alot of Helio fans there ! Such good taste.
I’m voting and asking others too !
Definately voting! Cant think of anything I would like to see more on DWTS than Helio dancing again. Hasnt been the same since he was on.
@Castroneves Racing PR:
I mentioned to the Forum—your asking for a link—and we want to Thank You for your interest!
Most of us “MET” Helio on DWTS. We’ve become Helio fans as well as Racing fans—never missing his Races—and many of us have attended his Races!
Happy to say–our Forum has members from all over the USA.
Some speak Portuguese, so we keep up with all the news from Brazil…
Thanks!
Helio’s got my vote errrrr votes.
Hopefully Julianne will be a choice as it would be hard to imagine Helio paired with anyone else. Wish it was the Mambo. Helio and Julianne did the best Mambo & Quickstep ever on that show.
I’ve been voting several times.
I don’t know why, but “Eye of the Tiger” fits you more than any of the other celebrities who could beat you in the poll.
I would love to see you dance again. Hopefully, we can vote for Juju next week.
Have tendonitis from repetitive pointing and clicking. Would love to see your sweetfeet on the dance floor again. I would prefer to see you foxtrot, mambo, or quickstep again, but will take what I can get. We are all doing our best to help you win (just like we did when you were a contestant on the show!).
Voting all that I can and put the link on my facebook page and encouraged all my facebook friends to cast a vote for Helio.
So cool!!! I’ll be voting non-stop!
Deb and I have been voting maniacs (well more Deb) but we both really want to see you dance again. We also have been looking the crowd over to see you at dancing with the stars, where you hooked two more fans of yours and also brought Indy Racing more fans.
And remember everyone vote for Helio each and every time you touch your computer!!!
I’m voting for you all the way!!!!!!!!!!
BTW – If anyone is concerned about voting several times from the same computer and not getting all the votes in, PLEASE VOTE using different computers as well!!!! It’s possible that ABC will only give one vote per IP address. So, if you work for a big company with lots of computers, try to vote using other computers. Tell your coworkers to vote using their computers as well!!!!!!!
Go Helio!!!!!!!!
I’m voting, voting, voting and voting again!
I’ve voted several times today and will continue to vote for you during the rest of the week. I hope you win!

I just informed my husband that we can vote more than once so he is also voting again.

Helio,
Would love to see you back on the dance floor. I will be voting a lot!!!
Would Julianne be the best partner for your comfort zone or would you like to try a dance with another pro?
I’ve been voting non-stop……..Hope Helio gets to the top of the list! Then of course we need Julianne to be back..to complete the duo!
@3Penskefan: Good to hear, thanks
Our Forum is private…..so I can’t put the link here. Rest assured, we are BIG Helio fans and everyone is voting as often as possible!

Well…it appears to be letting me vote numerous times:) Hopefully that isn’t against the rules. I’d LOVE to see you dance again, I just can’t seem to figure out which professional I’d like to see you with!
