Patrick is perhaps the biggest fan of racing. Not only does the former Grey’s Anatomy star love racing, he races too! He’s competed in pro-am races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Rolex 24 at Daytona sports car race.

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian attended the 2005 Indianapolis 500 dressed up in their racing attire. Just a year before, Morgan Freeman had some fun at the Indy 500. Nina Dobrev had a blast at the 2015 Indy 500. Jack Nicholson waved the green flag to start the Indy 500 in 2010.
