Adam Carolla wins the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race and donation for CBBBS
LONG BEACH, Calif., April 14, 2012 -- Comedian/actor Adam Carolla sped to the finish line in the 2012 Toyota/Pro Celebrity Race, triumphing over a field of film, television, music and sports stars in an exceptionally exciting and competitive event. The roaring crowd witnessed a thrilling battle for first place in a tight field of drivers, with a late-race surge by actor Hill Harper that surprised drivers and fans alike.
Carolla, host of acclaimed comedy podcast "Adam Carolla Show," co-creator of "The Man Show" and a contestant on the current season of "The Celebrity Apprentice," made a daring maneuver when he passed the pole position starter, actor Kim Coates, as the two sped around a corner in the fourth lap.
"This race was extremely competitive," said Les Unger, national motorsports manager with Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. "Adam really pulled it out, but Hill Harper's unexpected challenge in the final laps had the fans holding their breath. It's not unusual for a celebrity to come in first overall, but for the celebrity drivers to compete neck-and-neck is exciting. These drivers were incredibly competitive, and the crowd was just thrilled. All their enthusiasm is, ultimately, for a great cause, and the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race is proud to be able to make it happen."
Toyota will donate $5,000 to Carolla's charity of choice, Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters.
