Four-time Indianapolis 500 champion and Meyer Shank Racing co-owner Helio Castroneves has joined Trackhouse’s PROJECT 91 program for this year’s Daytona 500.
Castroneves says:
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would enter a NASCAR race and certainly not the Daytona 500 with a team like Trackhouse Racing.
“This is an opportunity that nobody in their right mind could ever turn down. I am so thankful to Wendy’s for allowing me to wear their uniform and drive their car, (Trackhouse owner) Justin Marks and everyone that made this happen. I wish the race were tomorrow.
Trackhouse owner Justin Marls said:
Hélio is one of the greatest drivers of all time and exactly the type of driver we want to bring to NASCAR.
“I think race fans around the world will be excited to see Hélio in NASCAR’s most prestigious race. It also exposes our sport to a global audience and allows them to see just how great of a series we have in NASCAR.”
Castroneves will drive the No.91 Wendy’s Chevrolet.
