Castroneves pleads not guilty to charges

$10 million bail in tax evasion case

Race car driver and Dancing With The Stars winner Helio Castroneves pleaded not guilty to federal tax evasion charges and declared outside the courtroom in Miami that he would treat the case like a race against the Internal Revenue Service.

Castroneves, 33, spoke after his release on $10 million bail after a court appearance in which he was shackled in handcuffs and leg chains and was visibly weeping into a wad of white tissue.

Castroneves hopped into a waiting car and headed for a flight to Atlanta to participate in this weekend's Petit Le Mans race. Terms of Castroneves' release allow him to travel for work in the United States but not abroad, meaning he will likely miss a race later this month in Australia, said his attorney, Mark Seiden.

Golf: Overton takes 1 shot lead

Jeff Overton shot a 3-under 69 on to take a 1-shot lead over Tag Ridings (68) in the blustery Turning Stone Resort Championship in Verona, N.Y. Overton was at 8-under 136. Two weather delays totaling nearly an hour and a half prevented the entire field from finishing before darkness fell, but Overton's lead was safe.

Angela Stanford's rare double eagle turned into a huge boost for her to stay near the top of the leaderboard.
