DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves got a crash course — literally — in stock-car racing at Daytona International Speedway. Castroneves was involved in a seven-car wreck on Lap 72 of the Daytona 500 and ended another race in a mangled mess of sheet metal. The former "Dancing with the Stars" winner also wrecked in a qualifying race Thursday and again as he crossed the finish line in the ARCA race Saturday.
