Helio Castroneves is looking for better results this weekend in St. Petersburg, Florida after finishing ninth in the IZOD IndyCar Series season opener at Sao Paulo, Brazil. But before he makes his way to Florida, the three-time Indy 500 winner has been on a media tour in California to promote next month’s Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. Today, he took some time to chat with my friends at FoxSports.com.
There’s going to be a second part of this interview coming out later this week (along with a story from me), but this first clip has Castroneves talking about a variety of topics including the chance to race in his home country, the rise of female drivers in the sport, and his quest for a series championship. Head on over to FoxSports.com and check it out!
