Several celebrities take part in the race each year. Actor Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker in last year's "Star Wars: Episode III," arrived in Vail around 6 p.m. in his Ferrari 360 Modena.
"It's some of the most fun you can have if you like fast cars," Christensen said. Some mechanical problems have set him back this year, he said, including a breakdown in New York that required a long tow-truck ride. This is Christensen's second year in the rally.
He admitted to "a few" speeding tickets this year. "I'm naturally competitive, so I want to place well," he said. "I came here wanting to finish first."

BULLRUN BLASTS OFF FROM TIMES SQUARE
When Hayden Christensen arrived in Times Square, driving his baby-blue metallic 2007 Ferrari 360 Modena, number 46 in the rally, a small group of people gathered to see the Star Wars actor. Parked in front of Hayden was brother Tove Christensen and Tove's co-pilot, Pete Michels, in their red 2002 Porsche 996 Turbo.
While the excitement buzzed around Hayden, a blond-haired boy about 3 years old took up an interest in Tove's vehicle and kissed the hood, showing his affection for cars at a young age. Hayden, who raced Dennis Rodman in last year's Bullrun across the Bonneville Salt Flats, isn't sure he'll get to race the former basketball star again this time around. "I won last year. It's disputable, but I won," said Hayden Christensen. "Andretti’s the guy to beat [this year]."
