Sarah Fisher wants day-time talk show host Ellen DeGeneres to be her guest at the Indianapolis 500 and is taking a unique approach to invite her, via the social networking site Twitter.
Fisher, the only female owner/driver in the IZOD IndyCar Series, has started a twitter account, @ellen2Indy500, and invited race fans to support her grassroots campaign to get DeGeneres to come to the 2010 Indianapolis 500.
“1 of my resolutions is 2have @TheEllenShow (DeGeneres) n my book & n return give her tix 2 the Indy500 this May. Follow how we reach her @ellen2indy500,” Fisher wrote on her own twitter account, @sarahfisher67.
Fisher also hopes to include a quote from DeGeneres in her book, “99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before You Got Behind The Wheel Of Your Dream Job,” which will be published in May. In the book, Fisher includes quotes from pioneering women who have made a name for themselves in their chosen field.
