Dempsey is actually pretty heavy into racing.

He recently joined Porsche's family with his Dempsey Del Piero Racing team, he was doing the prototype cars for a while, but I guess the luster of Porsche drew him in. He's a car guy through and through.


Steve McQueen was the same way, using his acting paychecks to pay for his racing interests.

he's got a nice collection.

I would imagine its for GT and not LMP cars. Lieb will prob drive the latter.

He's likely as small as Danica (small, lightweight)
