Castroneves “disappointed” to not chase fourth consecutive Daytona 24 win
Helio Castroneves, a prominent driver from the IndyCar Series, will not be competing in this weekend’s endurance race at Daytona. In recent years, Castroneves has transitioned to sports car racing, achieving success with Team Penske and later Wayne Taylor Racing, where he won the renowned Rolex race. Despite his return to IndyCar, Castroneves has continued to participate in select IMSA events, including two victories at Daytona’s road course. Now, in 2024, he has taken on a partial ownership role at Meyer Shank Racing while reducing his full-time commitment to focus on winning a record fifth Indianapolis 500. On the other hand, Tom Blomqvist, Castroneves’ former IMSA co-driver, will be embarking on a full-time rookie campaign in the IndyCar Series and also serving as a co-driver for endurance races with Action Express Racing. Although disappointed about not having the opportunity to chase a fourth Daytona win, Castroneves is focused on his commitments with MSR and wishes everyone a successful race.
