Keanu Reeves, the star of the "John Wick" franchise, recently made headlines by entering the world of professional auto racing. Competing in the Toyota GR Cup at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana, Reeves, 60, faced a challenging debut on the track. During the race on Saturday, he spun out and found himself off the track at turn nine. Fortunately, there was no collision, and he quickly regained control, returning to the racing lane uninjured.
Reeves, who qualified 31st out of 35 cars, showcased his skills by climbing to as high as 21st place during the race. He notably avoided a first-lap crash at turn 14, demonstrating his experience and quick reflexes behind the wheel. Ultimately, Reeves finished the 45-minute race in 25th place, a respectable position for his inaugural professional outing.
