Sarah Fisher Racing will expand for the 2010 Indy Racing League season, adding a second car and running three more races.
Fisher ran her sixth race of 2009 in Saturday’s season-ending Indy 300. She plans to enter nine events in 2010. The owner-driver said that 2006 Indy Pro Series champion Jay Howard will drive her second car, which will compete in four races next year. Yahoo Sports
Fisher’s No. 67 car will continue to be sponsored by Dollar General with help from Tire Kingdom, which will be the primary sponsor on Howard’s No. 66 car.
Fisher isn’t even trying to conceal her excitement.
“We’re going to get to bring a couple of more people on board (as employees), and to see us grow, it’s really incredible,” she said in preparation for today’s official rollout at Homestead.
Fisher owns the Indianapolis-based team along with her father-in-law, John O’Gara. They enter this weekend’s race with a staff of nine, including Fisher’s husband, Andy O’Gara, the team manager.
The signing of Howard was natural, Fisher said, given that he spent a good part of the 2008 season with Roth Racing, located next door to Fisher’s team on Rockville Road. The use of No. 66 not only ties in with Fisher’s number, it, like Fisher’s, is a tie to his early days as a driver.
Howard will compete at Indy, Texas, Mid-Ohio and Chicagoland. Fisher’s schedule still is being worked out, but it will be a mixture of ovals and road/street circuits. Indianapolis Star
