Patrick Dempsey: Why racing is cool
By PATRICK DEMPSEY
Published March 31, 2006
I am thrilled to be a part of Vision Racing and Indy Racing League.
My father was always into car racing. We religiously watched the (Indianapolis) 500 and Formula One racing. I got the bug early on with him.
I find (the Indy 500) so magical. Now, it's certainly much more enjoyable to go to the track when you have a vested interest in the team.
Since I started racing, it's hard to go to the track and just watch. You want to be in the car or you want to be participating with the team.
There's warmth in the league that I did not find in other series. I like being away from Hollywood and being around the racers and the racing community. It's a sense of relaxation for me.
