Field named for Pro/Celebrity race.

Star Trek actor William Shatner, actor turned racecar driver Patrick Dempsey, former NFL quarterback John Elway and women's tennis player legend Martina Navratilova are among the expected field of drivers from film, TV and sports who will battle it out with seven professional drivers in the 30th Anniversary Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race at Long Beach.

No less than 17 drivers, including former Nextel Cup regular Todd Bodine and his current Craftsman Truck Series rival David Reutimann will compete in a ten lap sprint around the 1.97-mile Long Beach circuit in identical Toyota Scion's, helping to raise money for charity along the way.

They will be joined by Thom Naito, a business analyst and winner of the on-line Grand Prix Foundation charity auction for a place on the grid, and defending Pro/Celebrity champion Frankie Muniz who, although best know for his acting exploits in Malcolm in the Middle, won last years race.

Patrick Dempsey ("Grey's Anatomy," "Sweet Home Alabama") is both an actor and a driver and is trying to build a career in Grand Am racing in 2006 and he will be joined on the list of professional drivers by Bodine, Reutimann, off-road racers Johnny Greaves and Jeff Kincaid and Longo Toyota General Manager Tom Rudnai.

"Having the mix of returning stars with firsthand experience and new drivers with their enthusiasm will combine for one of the most unique races we've had to date," said Les Unger, Toyota's National Motorsports Manager. "The Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race draws some of the most competitive celebrity and professional drivers because it offers the high-speed challenge of real racing combined with a worthwhile charitable endeavour."

Toyota will donate $5,000 to "Racing for Kids" in the name of each celebrity racer, and another $5,000 to the winning racer's charity of choice.
