Helio won the first two Indianapolis 500's he raced in ... but he's not won many races since. What's happened?

He only fell out off form for a few years there because he was running the wrong equipment. He had Toyota when Honda was the motor to have. Last year when the hp playing field was leveled with everybody running Hondas he rose back towards the top. You have not seen the last of spiderman. And you have to understand that he was not some Cinderella story out of no where in 01. He was an established driver in Champ Car on a championship team.

He won 4 races last year, and was third in the points. the guy is still on the radar he just hasnt won the Indy since the first two, but he is still there and he can still drive and win. It may have just not been his turn at team evil Penske to be #1 the past couple of years.

Helio still has what it takes to win. With Hornish having Penske equipment, he is really good. It'll probably be a Penske dominating season this time round. It'll be interesting to see how Danica does with Andretti Racing now.

He had a great year last year....I think he's awesome. Sam had a better car than him last year, but Helio definitely still has what it takes to win a Championship and the 500.

It was a thrill to see him win at Texas last year. Yes, he did climb the fence. Tony Stewart stole it from Helio !
