Ebullient Helio Castroneves

I look dreadful in this pic, but it's the only one I have of me with Helio Castroneves!

Check out this month's Guideposts magazine for a story by Indy Car driver Helio Castroneves…as told to Ginger Rue!  Confession:  I am not a racing fan, but after this interview, I'm a big fan of Helio's.  He's amazingly fun to be around–maybe the friendliest, most positive person you could ever meet.  Dwight (see below) and I were just blown away with how much we liked Helio. I so appreciate his taking the time to chat with us and share his inspiring story about his family.  Thanks again to Chris Hagan of Fox News Indianapolis, who helped me score this interview!

Dwight, with Helio's car

Helio was on a tight schedule, and after he said goodbye to us, I realized I'd forgotten to get a pic of him with Dwight. Not wanting to take up any more of his time, I had Dwight stand in front of where Helio was talking with a member of his pit crew!

Windy day!
