Helio Castroneves is indeed enjoying the spotlight following his victorious win in the last season of Dancing with the Stars. Since he has been awarded the mirror ball trophy, the media has been swarming all over him like crazy, and this is because of the controversy that surrounds the 32-year-old race car athlete.



Combine the fact that Castroneves recently ended his relationship with his fianc? and the rumors circulating about him sharing a romantic relationship with his dancing partner, Julianne Hough, and you'll surely get the media's attention.

However, the 32-year-old was still able to take time off to celebrate and announce when he and Hough will be joining the tour of Dancing with the Stars.

Castroneves threw a party that was attended by Hough and Sabrina Ryan, a crowd favorite on Dancing with the Stars' last season. Former Dancing with the Stars participants Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin were also among a hundred friends from the show that came down to celebrate.

Castroneves made sure that the media buzz was dying out before he began celebrating. He said, "I've been traveling so much that I want to make sure I enjoy [the victory]."

As soon as the party was over, he flew to Indianapolis to celebrate yet again, this time in a bigger party for his Indy 500 family, to whom he owes majority of his success. Of course, following his victory, his crew took the opportunity to pick on him.

"The team was making fun of me," he revealed. ""They said, ?Is your head too big for your helmet? Do you need sequins on your helmet?'"

Coincidentally, Indianapolis is also the first leg of the Dancing with the Stars tour, in which audiences will again get to see Helio Castroneves on the dance floor with Julianne Hough. Other dates and locations in which they shall perform on the tour are as follows: Nashville (Jan. 19), Tampa (Jan. 21), Jacksonville (Jan. 22), Fort Lauderdale (Jan. 23), Providence (Feb. 9) and Philadelphia (Feb. 10).
