🗣️ 'Mario has won it, AJ too - why not another Indy 500 champion to get a chance?' Helio Castroneves hasn’t given up on his dream of racing in the Daytona 500, but he is still waiting to hear if he’ll get a shot next year ⬇️
Castroneves, 47, ran a partial schedule in the six-race Superstar Racing Experience Series this summer on short ovals, and series CEO Don Hawk had told him if he won a race, he’d find him a ride in the Daytona 500.
Hawk later clarified that the “intention originally was he really wanted to run the Daytona 500 and if not, a ‘crown jewel’ [race]. So, we’re really going to try to make the Daytona 500 work.” “I’m working on it,” he told Autosport. “I know lately there has been rumours, even my team owner Mike [Shank] has been asking me what’s going on? Don Hawk, we had a bet, and I’m sure he’s probably stirring the pot to try and make it happen.
