Helio Castroneves runs from Court Room to Long Beach Grand Prix in a stunning, remarkable way! W2G Helio!

Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves, who more recently achieved fame with his win on 'Dancing With the Stars,' was acquitted today, Friday, April 17 of tax evasion, but the jury was hung on a related conspiracy charge.

He was originally charged for failing to report $5 million in income to the IRS.

His lawyer said that he never actually received the money from a deal with Penske Racing, and therefore legitimately did not owe taxes on it.

So, the bottom line is that HELIO is flying from Miami and will arrive in Long Beach, California tonight to attempt to qualify for Sunday's 35th Annual Grand Prix of Long Beach.

I was in Long Beach ALL day on FRIDAY, and the news about Helio has fans here totally BUZZED!

This is EXACTLY what LONG BEACH needs this weekend!  What an amazing turn of events.   Helio's star needs to be shining bright here this weekend.
