Indianapolis 500 Winner Helio Castroneves Races to Dancing With The Stars: All-stars
Helio Castroneves is back in an effort to become a two-time winner of the Mirror Ball Trophy.
Castroneves will take the dance floor as part of an all-star "Dancing With the Stars" cast. The show debuts on Monday, Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. The couple with the lowest combined judges' scores and public votes for their performance will be sent home in the season premiere of "Dancing With the Stars: The Results Show."
Castroneves is a three-time winner of the Indianapolis 500. He was winner of the dancing trophy in 2007 during season five.
"I am very proud of winning 'Dancing With the Stars,' " Castroneves said. "My trophy is right there between my three Indy [500] trophies. To balance it out, we need another mirror ball trophy."
Castroneves will dance with Chelsie Hightower, but hasn't had much time to practice his sassy moves - he just finished up the IndyCar season a week ago and is reportedly spending more time with his family - fiancee Adriana Henao and daughter Mikaella, who turns 3 in December.
"She's certainly pushing the limits," Castroneves said. "I'm feeling (it) right now in my legs, everything in my body. I like it. I like the vibe, the attitude. We're really connecting well. So I guess this is what we need to start the season."
His first dance is reportedly the foxtrot.
Castroneves will join fellow all stars Emmett Smith, Pamela Anderson, Kelly Monaco, Gilles Marini, Shawn Johnson, Melissa Rycroft, Helio Castroneves, Drew Lachey, Bristol Palin, Apolo Ohno, Joey Fatone, and Kirstie Allie.
