Hollywood star Keanu Reeves made his professional auto racing debut as the Matrix star took a spin at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday.

Reeves, who qualified 31st out of 35 cars, worked his way up to 21st and successfully avoided the first lap crash at Turn 14. Reeves finished 25th.
Reeves, who is 60, is competing in Indianapolis in the Toyota GR Cup, Toyota's specialty racing series and support series for this weekend's Indy 8 Hour sports car race. He has a second race on October 6.
