2 Minutes With Helio Castroneves


IndyCar Series driver Helio Castroneves is known for his signature victory celebration of climbing the fence, but there is more to the two-time Indianapolis 500 champion than racing.

The Brazilian has been featured on the pages of People, Cosmopolitan, Esquire and Sports Illustrated and is very close to his family. His only sibling, sister Kati, travels with him to most races while she handles his day-to-day business affairs.

He's also active away from the track. Castroneves teamed up with nine colleagues a few years ago to bring the global Burger King franchise to Brazil. In addition, he became an auto racing team owner as a partner in NasrCastroneves Racing. The team competes in the Brazilian Stock Car V8 Championship. But, really, who cares? Wouldn't you rather know if he's a coffee or tea drinker? A surf or turf guy? Or what he thinks about being one of People Magazine's "Sexiest People?"
