Patrick Dempsey chooses racing instead SAG

In time that most of the stars chose to be present at the 2008 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) held at the Shrine Auditorium on Sunday in Los Angeles, Patrick Dempsey was competing in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona event at the International Speedway in Daytona Beach.

The Vision Racing co-owner will co-drive the No. 40 Hyper Sport Mazda RX-8 with Charles Espenlaub and Joe Foster in the twice-around-the clock race at Daytona International Speedway. He's competed in the weekend's support series race before, but this will be his first Rolex 24 At Daytona in the GT class.

His team finished 24th out of 41 cars due to a damaged oil cooler and the loss of 40+ laps due to repairs.

"It's tough when I step out of the car and go off and do a movie and then when I come back everybody's caught up and they're past me," Dempsey said. "That's a little frustrating. If we can get a nice program together where we're testing properly and I'm not spending so much time out of the car, I think we'll get better results.


"Our goal is certainly to be up there, to be competitive."

So, maybe he thinks that he did not miss anything important, because he was not through the nominees, so maybe he had more fun, and more adrenaline in the blood on the race.
