Race car driver Helio Castroneves won the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. "This is incredible," the champ said after winning. "I think my tears speak for everything. What a great team. I just have to thank, first of all, the Lord for giving me this opportunity, to be strong, to have a family that I have. I have to think Roger [Penske], Tim [Cindric], my guys, Phillip Morris, all the associates (sponsors), Verizon, everybody because they gave my life back. I'm here today because of those guys. And obviously the fans." Helio continued, "You guys don't understand. You guys kept me strong. You guys are the best. I'm honored to have fans like you. Thank you so much. Let's celebrate now!" "What a day! This place is magical. ... This is the best month of May ever. Wow. Three. I can't believe it," Helio said in closing. It was the third Indy win for Helio, who also won the race in 2001 and 2002. The Brazilian driver showed off his fancy footwork on the fifth season of "Dancing with the Stars" with his partner Julianne Hough winning that championship as well.
