Brazilian Helio Castroneves claimed an elusive record-tying fourth Indianapolis 500 victory on Sunday, immediately setting his sights on a historic fifth.

In more than a century of racing at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway , only three drivers - A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears - had previously won the 500 four times. With this victory, Castroneves becomes the first non-American to join the group.

Castroneves made it clear to fans in a trackside interview following the win that there was more to come. "They promised to give me a good car - just give me a chance to fight and I will be up there," he said. "I believe Helio deserves to go for a fifth Indianapolis win," said owner Mike Shank. "We're going to do everything we can to make that happen for him."
