(CBS) IRWINDALE, Calif. Actor and comedian Eddie Griffin crashed a pricey Ferrari sports car Monday evening during rehearsals for part of a rehearsal for a charity event called "Race For a Cause" at the Irwindale Speedway.

The actor was placed in an ambulance but was not believed to have suffered serious injuries. He joked about the crash after leaving the ambulance. Referring to himself he quipped, "...the brother can't drive!"

Celebrities, including Griffin, were to split a pool of $250,000 for their favorite charities.

The stars were to race in cars used in the film "Redline" opening April 13. The movie is about the high-end world of high-performance sports cars and gambling and men with big egos.

Other celebrities scheduled for the charity race included Wycleaf Jean, Reggie Bush, Bow Wow, Jackie Chan and Nadia Bjorlin.

I saw a commercial for Red Line. I seriously think it's Fast and the Furious 4 cause I had a couple of friends work on the first Fast and the Furious and the original name of the movie was Red Line.

Ouch. I know the quaters on that thing are upwards of $5000 a pop and the hood probably costs more(thats just parts cost ). I hope "Undercover Brother" paid good. Man that would suck to be able to say "I crashed 1 of the 399 ever made."
