Brian Austin Green Is the 2010 Celeb Champ

After last year’s event saw Keanu Reeves clinching first place in the celebrity category, it was actor Brian Austin Green who managed to win this year’s champ title. Known for his role as David Silver in the original "Beverly Hills, 90210," Green first passed Adam Carolla, then actors Adrien Brody and Zachary Levi.

"We all pushed each other and really battled," Green said after the race. "This is such a great group of people. We've all become really close friends under very cool circumstances. I'd be just as happy had Zach or Adrien won."

Former CART Champion Jimmy Vasser finished first overall and in doing so also won the Pro category, followed closely by Formula Drift Champion Tanner Foust.

"This was an exciting and entertaining race," said Les Unger, national motorsports manager with Toyota Motor Sales in the US. "These drivers battled the entire race, and the crowd responded. Every participant was hungry to take home the trophy and brought their A game to the competition.

"The drivers remained intensely focused throughout their training, and yesterday's practice and qualifying sessions. Their commitment and enthusiasm exemplify the spirit of the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race."

The race will also have a charity purpose, as it does every year. 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.

"This was great fun,"
said Vasser. “I'd love to do this again. It's an honor, we develop great camaraderie and we get to race for the children's charity."
