TOYOTA RACING WEEKEND RECAP

TOYOTA PRO/CELEBRITY RACE It was auto racing at its most thrilling as actor Keanu Reeves prevailed over a highly competitive group of stars of film, television and sports to win the Celebrity Category of the 2009 Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. “The King of the Beach,” six-time Toyota Grand Prix winner Al Unser, Jr., finished first among all drivers and won in the Professional category, followed closely by NASCAR© Camping World Truck Series™ champion Johnny Benson. Despite enjoying the lead for most of the race, world champion pro skateboarder Danny Way’s hopes of gliding into Victory Circle were dashed when he and Fonzworth Bentley, host of MTV’s “From G’s to Gents,” mixed it up in the ninth lap, giving Reeves the opening he needed to cross the finish line in his race-ready Scion tC only seconds before E! Entertainment Television’s Executive News Editor Ken Baker and comedian Carlos Mencia. To get the full story and see how your favorite participant did, visit Toyota Racing.

NHRA Toyota-supported Top Fuel racer Morgan Lucas finally earned his breakthrough first pro career victory at the rain-delayed NHRA Southern Nationals. In the first Top Fuel final in years between drivers who had never previously won, the overdue Lucas took the win after a wild, all-over-the-track race against NHRA rookie Spencer Massey. Lucas began drag racing as a teenaged A/Fuel racer who won everything in sight, but since turning pro in 2004, he had been winless.
