In addition to its regular night of exciting championship NASCAR racing, the Irwindale Speedway hosted a special Celebrity Stock Car Race event presented by Justice Brothers and DJ Safety.
Ten well-known names from the worlds of entertainment and business suited up, strapped on helmets, and buckled into boisterous NASCAR-style stock cars (identically-prepared S2 cars) at Irwindale Speedway, located about 25 miles East of Hollywood in front of a crowd of 3,200 fans.
Actors Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Erik Valdez went side-by-side for the final five laps. In this race, there were no losers; however, Gosselaar won the 20-lap race, earning $2,500 for the Wounded Warrior Project.
