Back by popular demand, the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race is one of the main event attractions that will take place during the 34th annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach race weekend. In its 32nd year, the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race has grown into the largest, longest-running corporate-sponsored celebrity racing event in the world. This event will raise over $100,000 for “Racing for Kids,” a national organization that benefits children’s hospitals in Southern California. The 10-lap sprint race will feature star-studded celebrities competing against professional drivers in identically prepared, race-ready Scion tC models.

Last year marked the highest female participant level in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race for a total of eight out of the field of 18. Dara Torres (celebrity category) and Danica Patrick (pro-category) made history in 2002, becoming the first and only female race winners in the event’s history.
