Last year, you may recall that True Blood’s Stephen Moyer participated in the Toyota Pro-Celebrity Race in Long Beach, CA and earned $15,000 in prize money for his charity Facing the Atlantic. Unfortunately, Stephen had to back out of the race at the last minute after famously flipping his car in the placement run, insurance reasons prevented him from continuing.
This year another True Blood cast member is going to race, Season 5′s newest vampire, Christopher Meloni. Christopher will race at the event which takes place in mid-April. Here’s more information about it:
