Actor during the week and road warrior on the weekend, Patrick Dempsey competed in the Miami Grand Prix at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida on Saturday.
It was a busy day for McDreamy who signed autographs and answered questions from racing fans, then geared up for the big race himself!
Dempsey Racing, of which Patrick pulls double duty as owner and lead driver, got off to a good start, but unfortunately the engine in his Mazda RX-8 GT overheated and put an end to the teams 2:45-minute timed sprint race.
Dempsey Racing did reach the podium in January’s season-opening Rolex 24, where he and his teammates placed in 3rd, their best yet!
Sounds like Patrick is a rising star on the race track. We wish the best of luck to Dempsey Racing as they continue the rest of their season.
Check out more pics of Patrick and his race car at the event below.
