"The career of dancing is going to stop right after the tour is over," the 32-year-old race car driver said in a conversation with IndyStar.com. "Right now, I think I'm going to put my money on racing. I want that Indy (victory) a third time. I know I can do it."



Helio Castroneves established himself on Dancing with the Stars and on the racetrack for his good-natured grin and fierce enthusiasm. On December 11, Tuesday, the fifth champion of Dancing with the Stars was in Indianapolis Motor Speedway to take some photos with the Indy 500 Borg-Warner trophy and the one he earned on Dancing with the Stars, which held a shining mirror ball.

"I like this one," he said, referring to the Dancing with the Stars trophy. Turning to the Borg-Warner, he added, "I like this one, too, because it's a little bigger."

It was a very victorious win for the race car driver, as he really worked extremely hard with his partner, Julianne Hough, on dances including those he did not like so much.

"I did not enjoy [dancing Jive]. It was very tough, it was a lot of little things that you have to be a professional to know," he explained. He also added that he disliked the rumba since it required him to act, which was totally not his forte.

But all his hard work did pay off in the end, as Castroneves was named the fifth champion of Dancing with the Stars. He even shared that since his win, he has been teased by his fellow race car drivers.

"Mostly everybody's been very supporting... I mean you joke around, you know, but they say, ?What about sequins on your race suit?' And I say, ?No, maybe I'll put them on the helmet. Maybe it'll flash a little bit more,'" Castroneves told IndyStar.com. "It's all good and I'm very happy they were able to support me."
