Castroneves in car switch

THREE-TIME Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves has finished full-time IndyCar racing.

The youth movement officially hit IndyCar yesterday when Team Penske said it was moving Castroneves to its new sports car program next season. The decision, expected all year, brings to an end the full-time IndyCar career of one of the series’ most popular drivers.

Castroneves, a former Gold Coast IndyCar competitor, has been on the circuit for 20 years.
