Helio brings dancing partner to Indy

Indianapolis - Indy 500 Champion Helio Castroneves brought his dance partner to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Friday.

Disco balls hung over the yard of bricks Friday provided a unique dance floor for Helio Castroneves and Julianne Huff.

"I'm showing my partner my world a little bit; my dance floor," said Castroneves.

The two-time Indy 500 champion showed his dance partner how to climb the fence after a race victory. Quite a contrast for the "Dancing with the Star" partners who have been wowing television audiences with a variety of eye-popping dance moves.

Castroneves brought Huff to the Speedway Museum to show her the cars as well as the Borg Warner trophy with his likeness on it.

"I got my trophy here. I'm sure she's seeking another trophy and I'll do my best to hopefully make it happen," he said.

"I never really watched IndyCar racing but now, I'm so intrigued by it, and I'm gonna keep watching," said Huff.

The couple will make an appearance at the Pacers game Friday night and plan to show off a few moves in front of the basketball crowd. It's all part of generating more votes to keep them on the television show.

Castroneves told the museum audience he needs the support.
