:rolleyes:..Thanks `Jamie for your post & recap...I can now see what I just listend 2 on the Radio : ) When they interviewed Helio, alls I could hear was him sobbing...He sure is emotional, but I think if I won the Indy 500 Hundred I'd be cry'in Happy Tears 2 : )
Penske Rules : ) Thanks 4 taking time to share.....We EnJoyed....

he could barely contain himself, and his sister, parents and girlfriend were just as emotional. his sister is also his business manager and dealt with his tax evasion court case by his side. to go from almost going to jail to winning the indy 500 for the 3rd time, i can only imagine his emotion. i believe they said it was the first time a foreign competitor has won more than twice? and also i think it is penske's 15th indy 500 win, which is the new record for one team. a very exciting day for the #3 penske team all around!!! :)
