Helio Castroneves, one of the most successful NTT INDYCAR SERIES drivers of his generation, certainly looks the part as Meyer Shank Racing’s new co-owner and driver coach. Most drivers at Castroneves’ age have moved on to different parts of their lives, and Castroneves is trying. Castroneves hopes to return to Daytona for next year’s race even as MSR has announced it will not field a sports car team in 2024. Castroneves also plans to continue with Tony Stewart’s Superstar Racing Experience series, where he competed in three of the six races this year. The only race he has confirmed for next season is the “500.” He said he is pursuing more opportunities outside of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. Castroneves ranks third in most seasons with a series win (17) – 11 were consecutive – and his 50 career poles stands fourth all time. “I saw him getting out of the car, and (I wondered) where is he going?” Castroneves said. That’s what Castroneves has done all those years as a driver.
