[Barbara Charles]

7 to go. My nerves.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Helio waiting on Sato to run out.

 

[Hotrod]

Goodness , this is a great race !!!! (no jinx)

 

[TexasRaceLady]

This has been a fabulous race. And what a show for those in the stands.

 

[gnomesayin]

Clowns in the booth pleading for cars going a lap down to interfere with the battle up front. Sheesh.

 

[Kiante]

HE'S ****** BACK BABY, HELIO!

****** INCREDIBLE!

 

[gnomesayin]

Fantastic race, thrilling finish.

 

[Pat]

Great race! Had me on my feet

 

[FLRacingFan]

[Barbara Charles]

[Old Kid]

Hell yes Helio, hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Helio!!!!!!

 

[Reck]

Nice. A very very popular win.

That Dixon strategy was weird. Basically be a rolling chicane the last 30 laps?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

SONOFABITCH!!!

 

[Blaze]

Someone better pick up that phone!

BECAUSE I CALLED IT!!!

 

[AdoubleU24]

Hell yeah Hélio

 

[Hotrod]

Nothing like watching history !!!!!! Way to go Castro !!!!! You da MAN !!!!!!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Man I can’t believe Palou didn’t get a bigger run than that with all of those lapped cars.

 

[StandOnIt]

4 time, the air is thin up there.

 

[Michfan]

 

[FLRacingFan]

So stoked for Michael Shank and Jim Meyer

 

[Mispeedway15]

That was amazing. One of the best races I’ve ever seen

 

[Kiante]

To think, Helio won an IMSA championship and a fourth Indy 500.

All-time great, how can you not love this man? Things are getting better for this man, amazing.

 

[donthaveanickname]

HELIO!!!! I can't ****** believe it l! What! A! RUN!
Congrats 4 time champ

 

[CodeMan125]

Way to go Helio !!!!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Has anyone ever won the Rolex 24 overall and the Indy 500 in the same year before? That’s a hell of a way to do semi-retirement.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

He's hardly a favorite at this point.

Are you so sure?

Get Helio to LeMans.

FFS, get Helio and Juan to LeMans. We need this history.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Congrats

 

[Reck]

I was pissed when Penske basically retired Helio. It was clear he didn't want to go because he was still a contender. Extra stoked for him.

He still has it and the fire still burns. This man can still compete for wins and championships in this series.

Forgot about that. Yeah he's pretty decent

 

[Michfan]

Hard to not like Helio

 

[gnomesayin]

Are you so sure?

He may become one again. I meant that he wasn't favored coming into the race.

 

[Blaze]

Just so so happy for him. This is truly special.

 

[gnomesayin]

It's nice to be in your 40s and watch guys older than you win crown jewel sporting events.

 

[Old Kid]

He walks among the anointed gods of Indy now.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Was that Cal Ripken?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Great race! Had me on my feet

I was pacing. I washed dishes. I folded clothes. Had to keep it together, somehow.
Congratulations, Helio !!!

 

[Old Kid]

It's nice to be in your 40s and watch guys older than you win crown jewel sporting events.

It's even nice when you're older than that.

 

[Kiante]

Let this man celebrate.

He's won the Indy 500 a fourth time, let him savor this. I don't care how long the celebration is.
