FILE - Helio Castroneves, of Brazil, winner of the 2021 Indianapolis 500 auto race, poses during the traditional winners photo session at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, in this Monday, May 31, 2021, file photo. Superstar Racing Experience was conceptualized as a series for former greats who still had the skills and desire to compete and square off in identically prepared cars at six of America’s classic short tracks. Castroneves has no full-time job this season so joining SRX was a no-brainer. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy, File)
