Hinchcliffe has had two perfect scores so far in Season 23. So how does Hinchcliffe’s run for the DWTS title compare to Castroneves’ campaign for it nine years ago? Beyond The Flag matched up their numbers to see if Hinch and Helio have been on a similar road to success. Castroneves was even brought back for the “All-Stars” season in 2012. Of course, the first Ind圜ar driver to hold the Mirrorball Trophy was Team Penske’s Helio Castroneves, who won Season 5 alongside Julianne Hough back in 2007. Hinchcliffe is one of four celebrities left standing heading into Monday’s Season 23 finals, along with Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez, actress and singer Jana Kramer, and NFL wide receiver Calvin Johnson Jr. Tonight James Hinchcliffe will make his bid to become the second Verizon Ind圜ar Series driver who is also a Dancing with the Stars champion.

I had a blast and was in the best shape of my life!” "Julianne Hough able to be really patient with me. I never thought I would be able to do all those moves," Castroneves said. “It was extremely hard to win this Mirror Ball Trophy. Speaking of celebrations, Castroneves won ABC’s Dancing with the Stars 12 years ago - and was more than happy to show off his Mirror Ball Trophy. Turned out to be a great way to celebrate.” I looked to left, people were celebrating there. I didn’t hear where the winners circle was. “I remember I was so excited I won the race,” Castroneves said. It’s also the place where he patented his “Spider Man” celebration, climbing the fence that surrounds the racetrack. The Detroit Grand Prix is where Castroneves got his first-ever Ind圜ar win. The race will return next year - which is good for Castroneves, who says it holds a special place in his heart. While the Indy 500 was rescheduled, the Detroit Grand Prix was canceled altogether. “I’m soon going to be wearing silver sneakers as they call me the old guy,” Castroneves said. In his legendary career Castroneves has 30 Indycar wins and is the longest-tenured driver on Team Penske. The auto racing driver says he can’t wait to get back behind the wheel of an actual car. We’ve been going back and forth with virtual racing," Castroneves said. “I’ve never been a guy to play video games. While isolating at home during the pandemic, Castroneves has been dabbling in i-racing to keep himself sharp. So when it comes to exercising, I can help.” “I have a little girl, she’s ten, so we have been homeschooling,” Castroneves said. Instead, he is staying at home with his wife and daughter. It’s a race that driver Helio Castroneves has won three times - and would have been racing for his record-tying fourth win on Sunday. DETROIT – The Indianapolis 500 automobile race was supposed to take place this weekend, but has been rescheduled to August due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
