INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - 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 (IMS), 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.
