Product Description

The Indianapolis 500 champion and winner of season five's Dancing with the Stars shares his heartfelt story about determination, family, justice, and beating all odds to win.

With his signature victory celebration of climbing the fence after taking the checkered flag and his radiant performances that earned him the coveted crystal ball trophy on Dancing with the Stars, Helio's infectious enthusiasm garnered the admiration of millions of fans-both on and off the track. Therefore no one, including him, could have predicted that one day he would sit in a federal court along with his sister/manager facing 10 years in jail. After his grueling trial-where justice prevailed and charges were dropped-Helio learned more than ever before about his family, true friends, faith, and the road to victory. In this book, Helio Castroneves tells his resilient story about his greatest accomplishments, most devastating experiences, becoming a father, and valuing what is truly important in life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book by a great driver., June 3, 2010
By michael bragg (glen jean, wv United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Victory Road: The Ride of My Life (Hardcover)
This is a must-have book for any Helio Castroneves or Indycar fan. Helio tells his story about how he got into racing and the struggles he and his family faced in helping him get to the top. He also describes his joy at winning the "DAncing With the Stars" title and the birth of his daughter plus the hardship of being indicted by the Feds for tax evasion, along with his sister and lawyer and the triumph of being found not guilty on all counts. There are also some great photos of him throughout his career. I bought my copy at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the race weekend and I'm glad I did. For a great read, buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars commitment, July 15, 2010
This review is from: Victory Road: The Ride of My Life (Hardcover)
This isn't just, as one reviewer stated, a must for every racing fan. It is far more then that.It is a fascinating and revealing glimpse of the one-dimensional commitment required to succeed in almost any field. Helio, if he is truly the sole author, has revealed his family and himself in more detail then he probably intended and the text and content has the flavor and "English as a second language" gait that almost allows you to hear Helio speaking the words.A great book, period, written buy a person who reveals some fascinating things about family and the financial realities of modern professional racing. Probably the best autobiography of a sports figure I have ever read.-Wade-Oxford,Md.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read for a huge fan, July 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Victory Road: The Ride of My Life (Hardcover)
I've never seen my husband of 6 years actually read a book until this one. As a huge fan of Helio Castroneves he was excited to receive it as an anniversary gift and to get it signed by him at one of the races. He read it cover to cover in just a few days.
