HELIO ACQUITTED

IndyCar driver, HELIO CASTRONEVES, was acquitted Friday on the six counts of tax evasion, with a hung jury on the conspiracy charge. His sister, Katuicia, was also acquitted of the tax evasion charges, with the jury hung on her conspiracy charge. Attorney ALAN MILLER was acquitted on three charges of tax evasion and one of conspiracy. The federal court case lasted more than a month in Miami FL.

The word in the IRL paddock is that a black IndyCar and crew are awaiting the arrival of Castroneves, to race this weekend at the 35th Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
