Fala Hélio!
Não achei mais o lugar para mandar um abraço prá vc., então estou mandando aqui… Espero que vc. leia.
PARABÉNS! Pela vitória de hoje (ontem) em ‘Barber Motorsports Park’. Vc. é brilhante, como sempre, e eu continuo seu fã.
Continue assim. Um brasileiro de verdade, com garra e fé.
Estive no ‘Sambautódromo’ em São Paulo, no camarote da Band no sábado, mas não pude falar com vc., mas torci bastante. A Helô Azevedo não conseguiu um ingresso vip, no domingo, prá falar com vc. Mas tudo bem. Valeu!
Um grande abraço,
Eusébio Mattoso

Loved seeing you last night. And you weren’t the only racer in the house. I saw Lewis Hamilton in the crowd cheering for his Pussycat Doll girlfriend, Nicole.

Right now, I like Nicole, Aiden, Niecy, Kate, and Buzz. Still not as good as seeing you dance with Juju. You two had so much chemistry.

Really. You’ve got to get one of your open wheel buddies on the dance floor in the fall. I would love to see someone like TK, one of your teammates, or even (though I think it would take a lot of bugging and bet or two) Gil. Really, anybody would be awesome to see.

I had to see my chiropractor tonight but I recorded DWTS because you were going to be on it. Right now I sit agitated while the family occupies the tv. Can’t wait to watch the show and see you. So glad you tweeted to let us know you were going to be there. Good Luck on your next race too! Godspeed.

Hélio,

Muito legal você apresentar como funciona uma equipe da Indy. Sou fanático por automobilismo e achei muito legal. Achei muito legal também a Indy estar no Brasil, especialmente aqui em São Paulo.
Apesar de alguns problemas que tivemos aqui, achei que a organização foi muito legal e a corrida foi muito boa. Poderia ter sido melhor para você mas vamos lá, pois a temporada está só começando.
Torço muito por você, um grande abraço também para a esposa e a pequenininha.
Abraço

After that little mess-up on lap one, it could’ve been a horrible day for you, but salvaging a top 10 is great. And Team Penske still made it to the top of the podium.

You’ll get em in St. Pete. Got to get Miss Mikaella in victory lane with her daddy soon.

Although I’m sure it is not what you wanted, Helio, a top ten finish in a 24 car race is still great. And it was also great that your team was in victory lane. That looked liked a bumpy ride for all the drivers out there. I’m glad Versus explained the intentional purpose behind making the roads like that. I was curious how Brian Barnhart added grip to the section of the road that was too slick. Versus covered it, but I missed what was actually paved onto the surface overnight. There’s probably an article somewhere that discusses it. Looking forward to the next race. Go Helio! Godspeed.

I’m getting so excited for the season. Out of my five drivers I have down for my fantasy team on IndyCar.com, four are Brazilian (Helio, TK, Rafa, and Bia).

You get em in Brazil Helio! Make the crowd go wild as you climb that fence.

Oops! It’s not a track, it’s street racing. Right? Cool!

Having to get used to tweeting. Learning when to use an ‘@’ or a ‘d’ or ‘dm’ has caused some confusion. I’m figuring it out though. What the difference is between “reply” and “retweet” I don’t yet understand. Anyway, the video of the Sao Paulo track you posted is awesome and I can’t wait to watch that race. It should be both fun and challenging for the drivers too.

I concur with Paige. DWTS was at it’s height when you competed. Your hard work and dedication, having no previous dance experience, and your bubbling personality combined with your team spirit made it the best season ever. Also, as your presence was being beamed out into the larger audiences via other mediums, we got to see your wonderful kindness and, at times, even an angelic graciousness that more often than not eludes this world. I will never forget one interview in which the host was baiting you to say something negative about Marie Osmond when her son’s crisis was exposed and spoke so highly about her strength that she could continue to do the show while dealing with family adversity. I have never once seen you speak poorly about anyone. A quality I personally struggle with, but you inspire me to want to be better than I am. Okay, sorry for rambling. I wish you the greatest happiness that anyone can receive, because I believe you will only do good things with your blessings. Sorry for being sappy, too. Hope I didn’t offend anyone. As always, Godspeed.

Helio!

Looks like 2010 is no doubt going to be your year my friend!
Seeing that Philip Morris is now no longer sponsoring the team,I feel that the new colors and schemes hold the true structure of Penske racing intact!

I understand that Hugo boss still outfits the team, but I cant seem to find the jacket you’re wearing in this video. is it a Boss jacket? or something else.
You can find me on facebook!

Thanks,

Donald.

Well. The new DWTS cast has been revealed and the only one I’ll be likely to watch is Evan Lysacek.

Season 5 was still the best Helio. You were the perfect example of who the show’s champion should be – a person who has never done that in their life and improved every single week.

Great Job, Helio – Later down the road (after you have won Championship(s) and Indy several more times)I think ‘reporting’ may be in your future. It was so good to see and meet the rest of Team Penske and the awesome Penske tent and trailers. Thank you for bringing your fans into your “behind the scene” world – it made us feel even more a part of the Penske Team. Thank you and all in the Penske team for that. We, fans, will continue to do our part by keeping all of you in our prayers and cheering you on to victory – Godspeed. We can’t wait for the season to begin!

P.S. You need to add a picture of Adrianna and Mikaella to your locker!
