Helio Castroneves is one of the favorites to win this Indy 500, the most important race in the IndyCar Series and one of the most emblematic of motorsports in the world. Many drivers dream of winning this race, and some of them simply participate in IndyCar in this single event, which will be broadcast in its entirety on FuboTV (free trial).

The Indy 500 is a race with more than 100 years of history, and through which some of the greatest drivers in all of history have passed. Together with the Nascar Daytona 500, it is surely the most iconic race in the United States and in the entire world, on the same level as a Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Winning this race is undoubtedly entering the great history of motorsports, and the Brazilian Helio Castroneves (who is in 18th place this season in the IndyCar Series) has known how to be the winner on more than one occasion, consecrating himself as one of the great legends of the Indy 500, but exactly how many times did he win it?
