The young Mauricio, an eight year old Brazilian boy, had one of his dreams come true this past Thursday, when he met his idol Helio Castroneves. While Mauricio held on to his replica diecast of Team Penske’s Dallara Honda Shell V-Power car, Helio showed him all the details of his Dallara DW12 Chevrolet car and allowed him to sit inside the cockpit of the car.

It was a special moment, not only for the young fan, but for the three time Indy 500 champion and all of the guests involved as well. Helio gifted Mauricio with his book “Road to Victory”; encouraging the boy to dedicate himself to his studies and development and most importantly to reach and make other dreams of his come true, since the one to meet Helio was fulfilled.
