Four-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves recalls getting speeding ticket for going triple digits

Ben Lamm joins Tyrus to reveal a sci-fi breakthrough: a fully artificial egg system that hatched chicks. This tech could help bring back extinct species like the Woolly Mammoth, Dodo, and Dire Wolf, while protecting current endangered animals.

Helio Castroneves doesn’t just travel at high speeds on the racetrack, but sometimes on the road too.

Castroneves, 51, has won the Indy 500 four times and will look to become the first driver to ever win the storied race five times. The Brazilian native is encouraged to drive as fast as possible on the racetrack, but not on the road.

During a recent appearance on "Planet Tyrus," Castroneves recalled getting pulled over by the police.

"I remember once that, that I was in the three digits and the (policeman’s) like, ‘Oh, look, you can't do this. And I have the right to take us.’ I go, ‘Bring down the ticket,’" Castroneves said during his appearance on the show.

Castroneves said he used to get pulled over frequently growing up, but credited his daughter for slowing him down on the roads.

"After I have a kid, she's now 16 years old, but I have to behave myself," Castroneves said. "So knock on wood. Now I'm being a good boy."

When Castroneves rents a car, he said he looks for low mileage, which is a challenge. When he gets saddled with a "beat-up car," he takes solace in the fact that they normally smell good.
