Helio Castroneves became the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 two years in a row since Al Unser won in 1970 and 1971; and only the fifth driver in Indianapolis 500 history to win in consecutive appearances. His trademark fence climb after each win has set the standard for post-race victory celebrations in all forms of motorsports. After a successful year on track in 2007 he also claimed the championship title of America’s “Dancing With The Stars”.
