Oh boy. Indy 500 winner, Dancing With the Stars champion, and supposed Petit Le Mans competitor Helio Castroneves has a more important date on his dance card now:
IndyCar Series star Helio Castroneves is facing federal tax charges in Miami.Helio's initial appearance is set for Friday, which means he likely won't make it back to Road Atlanta this weekend.
A grand jury on Thursday returned a tax evasion indictment against the 33-year-old Castroneves, alleging conspiracy and six counts of tax evasion from 1999 through 2002. Also indicted were Castroneves’ sister and business manager, Kati Castroneves, and his attorney, Alan Miller. The Conspiracy and Tax Evasion charges are each punishable by a maximum of five years in federal prison.
I hope this doesn't pan out - Helio seems to be a nice guy, from all I've read, and is a hell of a driver. If he did do it, I almost hope it's simple greed rather than some Snipesian tax protester foolishness.
