🇧🇷 Helio Castroneves

Helio Castroneves is a Brazilian driver who has competed in the IndyCar Series, where he remains active in a part-time capacity, most recently piloting the No. 06 Dallara-Honda for Meyer Shank Racing. Coming up through open-wheel racing before establishing himself in American motorsport, Castroneves built a reputation over the years as one of the more recognizable figures in IndyCar, also branching out into Brazil's Stock Car Pro Series with Mercado Livre Racing. Within the authoritative record of his IndyCar career, he has amassed 52 starts, with 1 career win and 1 career podium finish, and has yet to claim a series championship.[1]

In the 2026 season, Castroneves has taken part in a single round without recording a win or a podium, sitting P30 in the standings at this stage. His current Racer Rating stands at 4,757, placing him 644th among active drivers on a scale where the sport's elite typically range from 10,000 to 11,500, reflecting his current status as a part-time competitor rather than a frontrunner in the current era of the series. Despite this, his continued presence in IndyCar alongside his efforts in Stock Car Pro Series underscores a long and varied career that spans multiple disciplines within motorsport.[2]
