Helio Stunned, Honored by Enshrinement in Team Penske Hall of Fame

When Helio Castroneves was asked to participate in a recent video conference with Team Penske, he thought they might wish him goodbye and give him a virtual sendoff following an outstanding 21-year career with the team. Throughout Team Penskeā€™s incredible history, there have been many great drivers that have competed for the team, beginning with Mark Donohue in the 1960s and early 1970s. I was expected to deliver, and Team Penske gave me the tools that I needed to win. Castroneves had a dramatic impact on INDYCAR during his Team Penske tenure. Ironically, Castronevesā€™ career at Team Penske nearly didnā€™t happen. ā€œThe thing about Team Penske, they put everybody in position to win the big races like the Indianapolis 500. ā€œI canā€™t believe it, 21 years, but Iā€™m also ready for a new team and Iā€™m ready to see what I can do there. Castroneves has earned his place in the Team Penske Hall of Fame, but at 45 he isnā€™t finished in INDYCAR.
