Helio Castroneves will once again attempt to become the first five-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 on May 24.

The Brazilian driver, who turns 51 two weeks before the race, confirmed Tuesday he will drive for Meyer Shank Racing.

“The drive for five is still alive,” Castroneves said in a short video released by the team.

Castroneves claimed his record-tying fourth Indy 500 victory with Meyer Shank Racing in 2021. He previously won driving for Team Penske in 2001, 2002 and 2009.

He shares the record with AJ Foyt, Rick Mears and Al Unser Sr. as the race’s only four-time winners.

Castroneves will be making his 26th consecutive start in the Indianapolis 500. He finished 10th last year.
