Celebrities at the Indy 500

by Will Thompson

After Dario Franchitti won the rain-delayed-then-cancelled Indy 500 yesterday, photos of a very wet and very happy Ashley Judd celebrating her husband’s win started popping up all over the internet. I figured this would be a great excuse to run one (rawr!):

Patrick Dempsey (that one dorky kid in Can’t Buy Me Love whom people apparently call McDreamy now) was the driver of the pace car at yesterday’s Indy 500. Here’s a shot of him getting ready to jump into the car; which you know is real because the black background even says “Indy 500″:

About Automotive Blogger

Some people use their automobiles only to get from Point A to Point B. You know there's more than that. You get mad when someone makes a remark about your car that's less than flattering. You get riled when a cool car is destroyed in a straight-to-video movie. You realize when a new car doesn't deserve it's name of a great car of the past. When you see someone driving a boring vehicle, you feel sorry for them. You know it's not the destination that counts - it's the journey. Welcome home gearheads. Welcome home, car freaks. Welcome to the site that fuels your automotive obsession - AutomotiveBlogger.net
