McDreamy Meets Doc

Last weekend, my family and I had the pleasure of meeting up with...hold your hearts...Patrick Dempsey, in my hometown of Sonoma, CA. Patrick and his Maserati racing team were in town to compete in the Maserati Gran Turismo MC Trofeo World Series race at Sonoma Raceway. They spent the weekend talking cars with my dad and spending time with our family (and Doc Hudson!) at the Maserati hospitality tent.  

Not only is Patrick an adorable actor, he is an incredible sweetheart (I felt like I was hanging out with my brother), an impressive race car driver, and a huge philanthropist. Check this out: http://www.dempseycenter.org/the-dempsey-challenge/

24 drivers from 12 countries...Patrick placed 6th! 

My dad, Dave Bonbright, with his fully-restored/custom-painted/stock 1951 "Doc" Hudson Hornet. Dad was a car historian/consultant on the 2006 Disney•Pixar film Cars, where he was a major influence in creating the character of Doc Hudson...he even recommended Paul Newman for the voice acting!

A fine man behind the wheel: Patrick checking out Doc.
