She'd also backed his interest in race-car driving, which can consume time and money as quickly as a supercar burns through fuel. She was the one to encourage me to go and drive, Dempsey told People in 2007.
德姆西的妻子还很支持他的赛车爱好，虽然赛车消耗时间和金钱的速度快得如同超级跑车的耗油一般。德姆西在2007年对《人物》表示：她是鼓励我投身赛车运动的那个人。

事实上，当芬克提交离婚文件时，德姆西正远在佛罗里达州参加代托纳24小时耐力赛（24 Hours of Daytona）。
