Helio Castroneves is the most tenured Indy 500 competitor in the current IndyCar field, and he has asked for more
Brazilian racing driver Helio Castroneves has called for a more defined procedure for late cautions in future Indianapolis 500 races. He believes that there should be a clear rule stating when the race would be considered finished, such as when there are five laps, three laps, or one lap to go. Castroneves mentioned the unexpected red flag in last year’s race, which allowed for a crash to be cleaned up but resulted in a rush to complete the final lap. He emphasized that he does not think there need to be wholesale rule changes in the series, just more clarification on late-race procedures. Despite his ownership stake in Meyer Shank Racing, Castroneves will still compete as a driver in this year’s Indianapolis 500.
