Texas Motor Speedway Street Signs

FORT WORTH, Texas – There’s Foyt Drive and Andretti Avenue, Rutherford and Sneva Roads – arteries that lead from the Victory Circle perimeter road to the Texas Motor Speedway gates.

What about Castroneves Circle or Helio Highway? Helio Castroneves, a four-time winner in 17 Indy car starts on the 1.5-mile oval with Team Penske, has lobbied track president Eddie Gossage to join the other Indy car legends for a stretch of pavement to be named in his honor.

Currently, though, unless he’d like a far off frontage road or an entrance to the family campground, there isn’t availability. He’s won in 2004, 2006, ’09 and ‘13.

“I mean, I am the only four-time Verizon IndyCar Series winner at the track,” Castroneves said. “(Gossage) assured me that if I make it five wins there will be a ‘Helio Castroneves Boulevard’ at Texas Motor Speedway.”

Castroneves, driving the No. 3 AAA Insurance Team Penske Chevrolet, will shoot for that prize in the Firestone 600 on June 6 (8 p.m. ET on NBCSN).

“I love racing at Texas. It’s just super fast. You don’t get the sensation of speed anywhere like you do there,” he said. “I’m confident we can get the AAA Chevrolet into Victory Lane and, hopefully, gain a lot of points this weekend.”
