Keanu Reeves, the iconic star of "The Matrix," made his professional auto racing debut on Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the Toyota GR Cup. The 60-year-old actor, driving the No. 92 BRZRKR car to promote his graphic novel *The Book of Elsewhere*, spun into the grass midway through the 45-minute race, but quickly rejoined the race without injury. Starting 31st out of 35, Reeves climbed as high as 21st and successfully avoided a first-lap crash, ultimately finishing 25th. Reeves is no stranger to racing, having won the celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach in 2009. He is also teammates with Cody Jones from "Dude Perfect" for this weekend's race, with a second event scheduled for Sunday. Following the race, Reeves will attend a 30th-anniversary screening of "Speed" alongside Sandra Bullock in Los Angeles.
