HELIO & JULIANNE WIN "DANCING WITH THE STARTS" COMPETITION

Helio Castroneves is a two-time Indy 500 winner from Brazil. Now he is also the winner of the dance competition held on the tv show "Dancing with the Stars." His professional dance partner is Julianne Hough. Castroneves and Hough were in the finals with former Spice Girl Mel Brown and her professional partner. Castroneves stated that he was highly schocked when the judges declared him the winner because of Brown's amazing dance skills. The judges had previously said that Brown was the most versitile dancer on the show. Castroneves gave a speech thanking "America, and especially Indianapolis" for voting for him. He jokes that his dance contest trophy will look perfect between his two first place trophies from the Indy 500.
