Kansas Speedway officials announced today that the speedway is endorsing IndyCar Series driver Helio Castroneves on Dancing with the Stars.

"Helio has shown his moves on the track at Kansas Speedway and this competition is a great opportunity for him to show that he is a talented athlete off the track," said Kansas Speedway President Jeff Boerger. "I look forward to seeing Helio dance each week on the show and can't wait for him to return to Kansas Speedway in April, hopefully as the Dancing with the Stars champion."

Castroneves and his partner Julianne Hough are one of five couples remaining on the show which airs on Monday nights. On the track, Castroneves finished third this past April in the Kansas Lottery Indy 300 at Kansas Speedway.
