Check out ‘The Duel in the Desert’

Pitting drivers from a number of different disciplines in identical cars is always interesting and race fans can see the latest result, the Dodge Viper Celebrity Challenge on Sunday, October 9 at 3:00 pm Eastern time on Versus.

Highlighting the field is a rare appearance behind the wheel by racing legend Roger Penske.

Teamed with Viper factory driver Kuno Wittmer, Penske takes on NASCAR team drivers Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski and Sam Hornish, plus Robbie Gordon, NHRA pro stock driver Allen Johnson, Hart and Huntington team owner Carey Hart and AMA supercross rider Ivan Tedesco.

They are joined by Formula Drifter and TORC driver Samuel Hubinette, monster trucker Mark Hall, Viper racer and instructor Cindi Lux, Chrysler honcho Ralph Gilles and a batch of Viper Cup series drivers.

The unique event was held earlier this year at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. The event raised $18,000 for various designated charities.
