Adam Levine is well known as the singer for Maroon 5. He knows Patrick Dempsey as an actor, but he didn’t know him as a racing driver.
Until today, when he tweeted this.
I’m pretty sure I just saw a mattress commercial starring Patrick Dempsey dressed like a racecar driver driving a Porsche.

Here’s the aforementioned ad, with Dempsey’s No. 27 Beautyrest-backed Porsche 911 GT America for Dempsey Racing tackling the streets of Los Angeles at night.
Just found out Patrick Dempsey IS a racecar driver. Awesome! Now the only thing that seems weird is the mattress commercial part.

I absolutely must become I racecar driver now. It just feels right.

This needs to happen. And the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship – the series Dempsey Racing competes in – sent out this tweet thereafter.
We can help with that! Right @PatrickDempsey? @GoDempseyRacing RT @adamlevine: I must become I racecar driver now. pic.twitter.com/CloqMfZQi5

Dempsey’s responded, too.
Hey @adamlevine my team @GoDempseyRacing and I can show you how to be a racecar driver. Follow us and visit us at the track @UnitedSportsCar

We’ll see if anything more from this, or if it’s just a case of a singer being star struck at Dempsey’s racing chops.
