Toyota Pro Celebrity Race For Charity
TOYOTA PRO/CELEBRITY CHARITY RACE AT LONG BEACH, CA
Celebrities and cars, do you think they go together? Some of these divas don’t even drive themselves, so how could they know how to race? In this year’s Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race, there are more girls than guys. Is that an advantage for the men, or can the girls peel out a victory?

Pre-Qualifying odds: Coming April 4, 2007
Pre-Race odds: Coming April 13, 2007 upon completion of qualifying rounds.
Driver: Martina Navratilova
Odds to win: 6 to 1
Former tennis star Martina Navratilova came in third in last year’s race, so she isn’t messing around. Especially since she’s from Czechoslovakia. That’s hardcore. Probably the best women’s tennis player to ever play the game, she’s still got the flexibility and quickness to hit the turns.
Driver: Dave Mirra
Odds to win: 7 to 1
Dave Mirra is a professional BMX biker, which already takes skills. Last year he was next to the pole position (and race winner) Bucky Lasek, but had a “Did Not Finish” because of a car malfunction. But he’s also an X-Games alum, which means he’s got balls on top of it. Will he be lucky this time around?
Driver: Joshua Morrow
Odds to win: 8 to 1
Young & The Restless star Joshua Morrow came in 2nd place in the race in 2000, but has he forgotten how to race by now? Surely his stint on Dancing With The Stars has given him at least a little bit of agility in the driver’s seat. Like Aisha Tyler, he’s also a World Poker Tour alum, so he can handle the pressure. Just because he’s a soap star doesn’t mean he won’t burn you on the track.
Driver: Kelly Hu
Odds to win: 10 to 1
Kelly Hu, of XMen 2 and the new ABC show In Case of Emergency, may be our surprise pick. Don’t be fooled by her mellow Hawaiian style and looks so hot she’s in Maxim’s Hot 100 and on the cover of FOUR magazines. Hu is a former winner of the Miss Teen USA competition, recently finished in the top 15% of the World Series of Poker Ladies Tour and in the top third of finishers in the Honolulu marathon. She’s got competitive spirit that we wouldn’t overlook.
Driver: Robin Quivers
Odds to win: 12 to 1
Robin Quivers can take some hits, considering she deals with Howard Stern almost every day of the week. And it looks like she’s really ready for Long Beach, since she’s been practicing at Pocono since September of last year. That means she’s ready for high speeds. And she’s going to be racing against Bubba The Love Sponge from the Howard Stern show soon, so she may just be treating this race like a warm-up.
Driver: Chris Klein
Odds to win: 14 to 1
One thing we know about American Pie’s pretty boy Chris Klein is that he’s not afraid to get crazy behind the wheel, so look for him to race without fear. Plus, he’s dated beautiful women like Katie Holmes, so he may be prone to distraction techniques by Kendra Wilkinson or Kelly Hu.
Driver: George Lucas
Odds to win: 15 to 1
Will the Force be with George Lucas in the race? He’s the oldest of all the drivers racing, so he might be getting lapped at some point. We’re not sure if he even drives his own car anymore! He just gave Scorsese the Oscar, so will be giving the race away, too?
Driver: Emily Procter
Odds to win: 16 to 1
CSI: Miami’s Emily Procter is a Charlotte native, the home of NASCAR, which might give her a little bit of an edge in the race. She also has a college degree in Dance, so she might be able to use that muscle control to nimbly push the pedals during the race.
Driver: John Salley
Odds to win: 18 to 1
For real, John Salley is so tall, will he even be able to fit into a Scion? Will he and his entourage be able to fit in the car? He might’ve been part of the Detroit Piston’s “Bad Boys” championship team, but he won’t be able to take a hit on the road. He and the safety barriers will be meeting each other quickly on the road.
Driver: Aisha Tyler
Odds to win: 20 to 1
Former model Aisha Tyler may not be able to fit her long legs in her car, either. At the same time, she’s a regular on the World Poker Tour, so she can handle the stress. She could even be bold enough to talk trash after all those episodes of Talk Soup, and use those model looks to get herself by the other drivers.
Driver: Kathryn Morris
Odds to win: 22 to 1
Cold Case’s Kathryn Morris has starred in a few horror movies and a few blockbuster movies with the likes of Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson. But in her spare time, she’s a yoga fanatic — she can’t be meditating at the wheel. Maybe her old costar Vanilla Ice will give her some tips on revving up.
Driver: Kendra Wilkinson
Odds to win: 25 to 1
Girl Next Door Kendra Wilkinson is one of Hef’s many hot blonde girlfriends, which could be distracting to the other drivers. Not to mention that she might not know the difference between the gas and the brake after riding around in so many limos for so long. Since she loves the old guys, she might just chase after George Lucas!
