MIAMI, Feb. 3 -- Celebrities and athletes revved-up their engines and tested their need for speed in a wheel-to-wheel competition for charity in the 5th Annual Cadillac Super Bowl Grand Prix. Racing for the finish line using SuperKarts on a raceway adjacent to the American Airlines Arena, the event allowed athletes and celebrities to show off their driving skills.
With a race changing collision in the fourth lap, Leeann edged-out other celebrities including Fergie, Terrence Howard, Nick Lacey, Melina Kanakaredes, Venus Williams, Matt Leinart, Queen Latifah, Paul Rudd, Missy Elliott, Shawne Merriman plus defending champion, Josh Duhamel. In addition, Vivica A. Fox kicked off the festivities as the official Cadillac Grand Prix flag girl.
The parking lot next to the arena was transformed into an ultimate racetrack for the event. Each celebrity operated a SuperKart, go-karts specifically designed for racing, powered by a 10 horsepower engine (allowing speeds up to 65 miles-per-hour) that offers amazingly high performance driving. A team of expert racing specialists from the Bob Boundurant School of High Performance Driving were on hand to take the celebrities through the safety and on-track training regulations prior to the official race.
Cadillac was proud to present the MVR (Most Valuable Racer) Award to Leanne, along with $10,000, which will be donated to her charity, Wounded Warriors; $5,000 to Nick Lachey, which will be donated to Make-A-Wish Foundation; and $3,500 to Tony Potts of Access Hollywood, which will be donated to the Haven House.
In addition, Cadillac surprised the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which was in attendance at the event, with a $10,000 donation.
