Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves made his professional auto racing debut Saturday at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
“The Matrix” star, who qualified 31st out of 35 cars, reached 21st before a single-car crash just over halfway through the 45-minute race stopped him briefly in its momentum.
The 60-year-old spun into the grass without a collision at the exit of Turn 9 with around 21 minutes of racing remaining. He returned to the course and continued driving, reporting that he was not injured.
Reeves finished 25th.
The actor is competing in Indianapolis in the Toyota GR Cup, a Toyota specification racing series and support series for this weekend’s Indy 8 Hour sports car event. He has a second race on Sunday.
He drives the #92 BRZRKR car, which promotes his graphic novel “The Book of Elsewhere.” He is teammates with Cody Jones of “Dude Perfect.”
Reeves has previous racing experience as a former Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach entrant in the celebrity race. Reeves won the event in 2009.
