It could be the start of a winning weekend for Helio Castroneves.
Federal prosecutors have dropped the remaining tax evasion charge against the 33-year-old race car driver/former "Dancing with the Stars" champ -- meaning he is completely in the clear. Helio was acquitted on all but one charge last month.
Castroneves has the pole position for Sunday's Indy 500. If he wins, we think he'll declare it on his taxes.

A Federal jury has acquitted Indy race car champ Helio Castroneves on tax evasion charges.
The jury was hung on the one count of conspiracy. The judge declared a mistrial on that count, and prosecutors say they're reviewing whether to re-try Helio on that charge.
Helio was prosecuted for allegedly not paying taxes on several million dollars.

Apparently an orange jumpsuit and sequins just don't match. Helio Castroneves latest indictment may cause him to lose his chance to dance.
TMZ sources close to "Dancing with the Stars" have told us that Helio was tapped for a visit to the "DWTS" ballroom to perform later in the season, but with his latest legal struggles that's probably not going to happen.
Many crew members were shocked with the latest accusations and have attempted to contact Helio to give their support.
As for the performance -- its still tentatively scheduled, but the show may want to get John O'Hurley on speed dial just in case.

Helio Castroneves just tearfully pleaded to tax fraud -- and, for a guy who's known for driving at high speeds, he's not goin' anywhere fast.
He was brought into court in cuffs and shackles, and cried throughout the hearing. He had to give up his passport, and won't be allowed anywhere outside the US, though interestingly he can race this weekend in Atlanta.
Bond was set at $10 million -- $8 mil of which is security, from one of Helio's accounts in the Netherlands.
His lawyer was also arraigned along with Helio's sister, both of whom were allegedly in on the tax scheme.
