Where else can you watch Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody compete on the same racing circuit as IZOD IndyCar Series drivers?

The answer of course is the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, which will be held for the 38th year on April 13-15. Brody and several other actors and musicians will contest the Toyota Pro/Celebrity race against the likes of professional drivers including Firestone Indy Lights competitor Bryan Clauson.

That event is part of the on-track action that features the IZOD IndyCar Series and Firestone Indy Lights races. Last year, Mike Conway won the IZOD IndyCar Series race.
