Helio Castroneves was not the best dancer, although he and his partner won Dancing with the Starz. But America voted. Probably a lot of female voters. After all, he is a good looking Latin (Brazilian), rich race car driver living in Miami. He really is a fun loving guy though, that you can't help but like.
When he won his first Indy 500, I interviewed him at Tavern On The Green in Central Park,NYC at a press party. He said he knew people were having a problem pronouncing his name in his introductory speech. Sooo, latter when I had a chance to interview him one on one, I introduced him to the camera as Julio Inglesias. He laughed so hard...... The interview went great because he saw I wasn't gonna be like the rest of the dumb ass NY press, who really know nothing about racing to begin with ! Think I'll rerun that interview if I can find the tape........
