He brought scads of them to their feet when he streaked across the finish line 58 laps later, fist a-pumping, to his third Indy crown. But the coronation couldn't begin in earnest until the emotive Brazilian (think Roberto Benigni, only tanner and more hirsute) could made his ritual climb up the track fence to indulge in a celebration that has earned him the nickname Spider-Man.Fri, 29 May 2009 21:12:00 EDThttp://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20280937,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnnhttp://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20280937,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnnThe current Dancing champ is rooting for Castroneves to capture a third title on SundayTue, 26 May 2009 11:27:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/lars_anderson/05/25/Indy_500/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/lars_anderson/05/25/Indy_500/index.htmlFive things we learned on a sticky day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the 93rd running of the Indy 500:Mon, 25 May 2009 18:54:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/bruce_martin/05/25/martin.column/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/bruce_martin/05/25/martin.column/index.htmlINDIANAPOLIS -- While the motion picture that is Helio Castroneves' life has more sequels than the old "Rocky" movies, the back story to Sunday's 93rd Indianapolis 500 included the two stars of the 2005 race.Mon, 25 May 2009 05:16:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/racing/more/05/24/indianapolis.500.recap/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/racing/more/05/24/indianapolis.500.recap/index.htmlINDIANAPOLIS -- Five weeks ago, Helio Castroneves stared into the abyss, wondering if he would spend Memorial Day in a federal prison as his fate was in the hands of a 12-member jury as they deliberated his fate in a tax evasion trial.Mon, 25 May 2009 04:52:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/racing/more/05/24/indy.500.blog/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/racing/more/05/24/indy.500.blog/index.htmlINDIANAPOLIS -- Helio Castroneves' comeback from adversity is complete as the driver from Brazil who five weeks ago could have gone to prison for tax evasion won his third Indianapolis 500 on Sunday.Sun, 24 May 2009 20:43:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/racing/05/22/Writer_picks/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/racing/05/22/Writer_picks/index.htmlThe 93rd running of the Indianapolis 500 is Sunday, and this year's race boasts one of the deepest fields in the event's history.
