Hollywood star Keanu Reeves made his professional auto racing debut on Saturday at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where he spun out during the race.
Reeves lost control and went into the grass after leaving Turn 9 a little past the halfway point of the 45-minute race. He got back on track and continued driving, showing that he was not hurt.
Reeves qualified 31st out of 35 cars and managed to reach as high as 21st place, avoiding a crash during the first lap at Turn 14. He finished the race in 25th place.
At 60 years old, Reeves is competing in the Toyota GR Cup, a Toyota spec-racing series that supports the Indy 8 Hour sports car event happening this weekend. He has another race scheduled for Sunday.
Reeves is driving the No. 92 BRZRKR car, which promotes his graphic novel “The Book of Elsewhere.” He is teamed up with Cody Jones from “Dude Perfect.”
Reeves has some racing experience, having participated in the celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, which he won in 2009.
He is also set to attend a screening for the 30th anniversary of “Speed” on Tuesday in Los Angeles with his co-star Sandra Bullock.
