Was there as I am at 5 races a year to watch you race. Also get the chance to see you at autograph sessions. 25 races and about as much autograph sessions, I sensed sadness and unhappiness on your face signing autographs, for the very first time ever. Hope all is well with you and yours. Prayers with you as always and EXCellent Excellent finish.

I just thought going four wide was suitable to that particular track. Wish I could have heard your post race interview. TK & Hunter-Reay expressed similar thoughts but they weren't specific. Wish I had an easy link to a report about it, since I don't have much time as of late to surf the web. If any of your fans know of a good detailed article, maybe they can post it. I told my husband I was surprised there were no major accidents in that race. He replied, and I agree with him, that it was a great testament to the skill of the drivers that that didn't happen during the race. Godspeed.

Sending an early welcome to My Old Kentucky Home this weekend. Hopefully, the winds of change are blowing in KY and you get that win!

Didn't know about the complete craziness last night. Thankfully nobody got hurt. Hope you improve five positions in Kentucky. I’m never said to hear of a comeback from you to sixth.

I think your finishing P6 was outstanding considering the problems you encountered, especially that pit stop. You certainly placed way ahead of Ryan and William after they had lead so much of the race. I listened carefully to your post-race interview on the IMS radio, and I couldn't agree with you more! Many stupid and reckless moves on the track throughout the race. As you said, where were the black flags last night? I was holding my breath afraid 'the big one' was going to occur at any moment! I think it was a miracle it didn't happen. After listening to other drivers on TV and via Twitter interviews, they were saying the exact same things you were. So, where was TGBB last night? Looking forward to KY, Helio. Again, congrats on a great race last night! Wow, Helio, what a race!

Too bad you had that bad pit stop, but 6th was a good recovery. I could see you racing hard on the last lap giving it all you had to get that top five finish, but it wasn't meant to be. Overall, for the IRL, it was an exciting race. Looking forward to next week's race. I really enjoy watching the oval races because more passing occurs. Godspeed.

I still remember your 2008 win, one of the coolest ever. Going to be missing the race (again), but will be wearing your colors proudly and have the "3" neckalce I made. It has a 3 charm and three crossed checkered flag charms to represent your three Indy 500's. You're the man Helio! Go out, dominate, and climb another fence (especially since you didn't get to climb it in '08)! Good luck in Chicago Saturday night Helio. I still remember your 2008 win, one of the coolest ever.
