The 2016 Race for Autism Celebrity Race Benefiting the Carlos Viera Foundation, filmed June 18, 2016.

CELEBS RACE: 'The celebrities race, scheduled for 20 laps or 20-minutes, started single file at 7:19. Muniz (No. 50) led over Marsh (No. 24), Hu (No. 59), Stewart (No. 43), and Pasdar (No. 29). Michael (No. 4), Kriski (No. 51), Littleford (No. 41) and Remini (No. 97) comprised the back of the field. First lapping occurred on lap 6. At lap 10, Muniz led Marsh by 50-yards, with Hu, Pasdar, and Michael the only other lead lap drivers. Muniz lapped P. 5 Michael on lap 12. On lap 15 Michael spun and backed hard into the second turn crash-wall, caving in the back end. He was unhurt, but his Ed Cutler owned car went to the infield.

The lap 15 restart resulted in a tight duel for third between outside runner Hu and inside runner Pasdar, who passed her in turn one. On the same lap, Hu reclaimed P. 3 in the third turn on the outside. With the white flag waving for the final lap, third place was in doubt. Hu, veteran of a past LBGP Toyota celebrity race, took to the outside fast groove and fought to hold third. With Pasdar pressing on the inside, Hu's loose car got sideways leaving turn four. She over-corrected and spun at speed backwards up into the front straight crash-wall. The left rear of the Johnny Butler-owned car was smashed inward. Her car slid to a halt facing turn four and just short of the finish line. Pasdar avoided contact and crossed the finish line third.

Hu was stunned, but soon climbed out uninjured to spectator applause. She waved and walked back to the pits after her competitive run. She was credited with 18 laps and fourth position. Only the top three drivers completed all 19 laps. The starter waved both the yellow and checkered flags to end the race after Hu crashed. The race time was 10:58.521 for an average speed of 51.935 mph including the caution period. While trying to catch Muniz, Marsh ran the fastest lap of the race at 21.248 (84.714 mph), which was faster than winner Muniz ran in practice/qualifying.

Winner Muniz (the middle son in TV's “Malcolm in the Middle”), joined the ranks of past competitive celebrity race actor/race winners at Irwindale such as 2015 winner Mark-Paul Gosselaar (No. 50) and 2011 winner William Fichtner (No. 0). Muniz told spectators via the portable mic, “I want to come here next week and race this No. 50 car. This is totally different from racing Toyotas in the Long Beach celebrity race. These are real race cars.” RCF Spec Late Models will be racing for the fifth time this season at IS next Saturday, June 25, so the opportunity is there for Muniz to race at IS again soon.
