HELIO CASTRONEVES
So, what else do you do on a hot Texas night....of course you go to the 'Firestone 550.' A tight oval track of only 1.5 miles for 228 times. The race wasn't as tight at the end like most IndyCar races, but it still had the sell-out crowd on their feet. Helio Castroneves won his 28th race and charged up as usual. Ryan Hunter-Reay, last year's champion, came in second. Tony Kanaan, this year's Indy 500 winner came in a distant third.
Takuma Sato was unable to qualify so he had to start in 21st and ended up in 11th.
