Patrick Dempsey, a star on ABC's popular "Grey's Anatomy" television show, is officially entered in Saturday's 3:30 p.m. Koni Challenge GS race at Iowa Speedway, track director of media relations Mike Beecher said this morning.

Officials first confirmed to the Des Moines Register on Wednesday that Dempsey planned to race in Newton.

At that point, however, the actor and racer had not yet entered for the race in Newton.

Dempsey is slated to be one of two drivers in the No. 54 Mustang GT car. He helped his team to a sixth-place finish last weekend at Homestead Miami Speedway.

The GS race in which Dempsey is entered follows the Koni Challenge ST race scheduled to start at 12:15 p.m. Saturday.
