LONG BEACH, Calif., April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- It was billed as "the battle of the sexes" and it lived up to expectations, as BMX champion Dave Mirra crossed the finish line in his race-ready Scion tC ahead of Tennis Hall of Famer Martina Navratilova and actor Joshua Morrow, star of "The Young & The Restless," to take the crown in the 2007 Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) Champion Mike Skinner finished first in the Pro category.

"It is always exciting to watch these three powerhouses race," said Les Unger, Toyota Motor Sales USA national motorsports manager. "Martina, Joshua and Dave had all participated in previous years but hadn't won, and each was hungry to take home the trophy this year. However, all the celebrities came prepared for the challenge, and their competitive spirit made for a thrilling show. Their enthusiasm, both on the track and off, demonstrates exactly what the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race is all about."

They sit in a big unmarked warehouse in Torrance CA where they do all of their secret builds and showcars...Ive been over there before with work...very cool. They have all kinds of pace cars, past celebrity cars and other race cars of old.
