SRX: 4-time Indy 500 winner gets win at Five Flags
Helio Castroneves got the ball rolling in Heat #2 by leading every lap at Five Flags Speedway.
Castroneves was not originally entered in the race. Nevertheless, he flew to Florida with the hope that a spare car would be available, and his speculation proved accurate as the series carries at least three backup vehicles.
He then went out and won the 75-lap feature race broadcast on CBS.
