Driving with the dancer
Before he was the Dancing With the Stars champion, Helio Castroneves was the king of Indy … a two-time winner of the Indy 500.
To congratulate Helio on adding another trophy to his case, we’ve created the Driving With the Dancer channel for him. You can find his Indy wins, as well as his trip with Julianne Hough, his dancing partner, to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
If you're more accustomed to ballroom dancing, IndyCar racing might be something new for you. It's a combination of eardrum-bursting speed on the straight-aways with seemingly impossible feats of strength and precision at the pit stops.
Chances are that Helio will hang up his dancing shoes, trading turns around the dance floor for turns around the oval. In my mind, 200+ mph around a track is a little bit more exciting than the rumba, foxtrot and tango, but you can judge for yourself.
* For those of you not in the U.S., Dancing With the Stars is a celebrity ballroom dancing competition.
