Again, do we need to describe Helio Castroneves. The most recent inductee to the famed Indianapolis 500 four-timers club, Helio is one of the true legends of IndyCar and racing as a whole, not just for his winning on-track, but his inviting personality off of it. We also learn it’s 100% real, and he gets to a level of candidness we honestly hadn’t expected. Lunch was served at Canoe in Atlanta, GA with the song “Chasin” by Kairo taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura and Valvoline for making it all happen.

It’s Ken Schrader, do we really need to explain? This guy has literally driven, and won, in just about everything. Beginning in the midwest short track scene, he won big in USAC before pursuing a career in NASCAR, where he drove for such legends as Elmo Langley, The Wood Brothers, and of course Hendrick Motorsports. Even in his 70’s, “Kenny” is still at it today racing what seems like 100 times a week, to the point it’s taken us three years to make this happen. Dinner was provided by Sorellis Italian Restaurant and eaten in Kenny’s Shop in Dittmer, MO with the song “Broken Cowboy” by Jesse Woods taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura and Valvoline for making it all happen.
