Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves has proven he can dance. Now the reigning "Dancing with the Stars" champion will see how he stacks up as a tennis player.
After Castroneves gives David Nalbandian a ride around Homestead-Miami Speedway in the IRL's two-seat IndyCar, the driver will play the world's seventh-ranked player in a 12-point tiebreaker on the start-finish line of the 1.5-mile oval.
The event today will serve as a warm up for Castroneves and Nalbandian, who are scheduled to compete in major sporting events in the greater Miami area.
Team Penske's Castroneves will race in the GAINSCO Indy 300 under the lights at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Saturday. Nalbandian will participate in the Sony Ericsson Open, which opens Wednesday and runs through April 6 at the Tennis Center at Crandon Park in Miami.
