Helio Castroneves
# 3



Team Penske


Biography

With those seven poles and only one win, Helio Castroneves has to rank as one of the unluckiest, yet fastest drivers in top-level racing last year. Off-track glory in Dancing with the Stars hasn't distracted him in his plans to right a whole bunch of wrongs in 2008. Now in his 10th season with Team Penske, a first championship to go alongside those two Indy 500 wins is long overdue.
In reporting his Dancing with the Stars win, ABC News noted that his "personality, enthusiasm and flashing smile combined with an effortless quickstep clearly resonated with voters."
