At 50 years old, Helio Castroneves has no plans to slow down just yet.
Castroneves confirmed to Frontstretch‘s Michael Massie after the 2025 Indianapolis 500, won by Alex Palou, that he plans to return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the future.
“I will,” he told Frontstretch when asked if he would do another Indy 500 down the road. “I’ll make it happen.”
Castroneves did not share any other details.
The four-time Indy 500 winner finished 13th in his 2025 start, his best finish since a seventh-place effort in 2022. He has competed in every 500 since 2001.
