Trung's company gave out free tickets to the Toyota Grand Prix race car event in Long Beach to encourage employees to come out and support the Truecar team. I was excited about seeing the celebrity race, but didn't catch a glimpse of anyone since helmets were on and there were mesh screens over the car windows. The race was still pretty exciting to watch, as Eddie Cibrian crashed into Brody Jenner and other celebrities hit the walls. The event was loud and cool for a first-timer, but I don't see myself going again in the future as the kids were tired of walking everywhere.

Even though we were surrounded by amazing cars, the girls were more interested in these toy ones.

After walking around basically the entire track, we finally reached our grand stand
LeAnn Rimes sang the anthem
She's quite talented, though all I could think about was how low her top was.

Trung's company Truecar's driver Katherine Legge.
The Truecar tent had tons of food; too bad we found out after the fact.

I kept looking for Helio Castroneves, the only driver I know because of Dancing with the Stars, at the Paddock, but couldn't find him, so I figured he wasn't at this race. Apparently, he was...darn it! I wanted a picture with those dimples!
