Autos: Castroneves adds new title to list: Dad


Associated Press

ATLANTA � Three-time Indy 500 winner and former Dancing with the Stars champion Helio Castroneves has a new title: Dad.

Castroneves� girlfriend, Adriana Henao, gave birth to the couple�s first child, Mikaella Castroneves, on Monday afternoon in Atlanta. The baby girl measured in at 19 inches and seven pounds, three ounces.
In a statement released by Penske Racing, Castroneves says his girlfriend and child were doing well and the baby already has him running around �like crazy.�
The Brazilian became the first foreigner to win Indy three times in May. He was fourth in points in 2009 despite missing the season�s first race while fighting tax evasion charges. Castroneves was acquitted of all but one charge in April, and that was later dropped.
