He wore shorts and tennis shoes, and he did not take a helmet (but found one before racing) or tools, borrowing a Dodge Viper from his showroom. And by 2007, he was racing for real. Keating, now 47, would win five national championships racing a Viper. He joined the Nascar Rolex Grand-Am Sports Car Series in 2011, the American Le Mans Series in 2013 and won his first two national-level sports-car races in 2013. By 2015, he was driving at Le Mans, and by 2017 he had his own team there.
