Patrick Dempsey Prefers Racing To "Grey's Anatomy"

41-year old "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey took part in the timed 2.5-hour Grand-Am Koni Challenge GS sports car race on Sunday finishing 6th of 39 cars with co-driver Charles Espenlaub of Tampa.

The actor is a driver and part-owner in the pro-Am sports car series. He said that maneuvering a sports car and going as fast as 170 mph gave him more of a rush than filming dramatic scenes for his TV show.

"I really enjoy racing much more than I enjoy doing the show," Dempsey said. "I mean I enjoy the show, but it's a different thing because it's like a long distance race."
