Hello race fans, we are definitely glad that you are still on board with us during this transition year for Sarah into the Grand National West Series. I caught up with Sarah this week and she wanted to give you all an update on how things are going for her.
"Racing in the NASCAR Grand National West Series has certainly had its ups and downs so far. Dominos and Napa Belts and Hoses have been our sponsors so far into the season. In general, we haven't had very good luck yet, but we are only four races into the season. I am learning a whole lot about these cars! They are a lot different to drive. Being that they are twice the weight of an IndyCar car and they have 100 horses less, it is harder to turn them and stop them. This is a part of moving on to a new career and its pretty fun so far. Everyone at Bill McAnally Racing has been supportive and they are doing their best to make a perfect effort. Richard Childress Racing also has been a part of this new endeavor, which we are all very thankful for. I am not really sure where its going, but I know that wherever I end up, I will be around people that work hard and get results! The average person changes their career path three times. So, really, where would the next one lead me? Seriously, NASCAR has welcomed me into their family and I couldn't be any more delighted to be a part of one big successful team." said Sarah.
Be sure to thank our sponsors, Dominos and Napa Belts and Hoses, as they have helped out our team a lot. Over the next couple of week, we will be accepting questions you have for Sarah. We will compile 10-15 questions to have her answer and then check back to the website for the updates. Send all questions to klint.briney@sarahfisher.com
Additionally, Sarah's fans have still been out and about at some of her races and below is a submission from one of her younger fans. Submission from a fan: "While my gentle and delightful conversation with Sarah herself is easy to envision, thanks to the photos from friend Randy--and I'm pretty sure you now know how *genuine* Sarah is--what you don't know is the story behind Haley and Ashley. Quite a few people that day had Sarah Fisher T-shirts on. You saw pics of most of them. Frankly, I spent a small fortune in time and materials making them, yet for some reason I made two extras. I couldn't even explain it, but Friday night I told my friend, Randy, I was going to just toss them into the car. Within less than a minute after our arrival Saturday--before we even got to the front gate--there at the fence, just hoping to maybe see Sarah were Haley and Ashley. From their handwritten, autographed signs, it was obvious Sarah had already been visiting with them. That's Haley and Ashley in the photo (to the left). As we walked up they immediately spotted our T-shirts and grinned ear to ear. I approached their Dad (also in the shot top the left) and told him I seemed to have two extra Sarah (Fisher) shirts in exactly the right sizes in my car. With his smiling approval, I went back to the car and got them. As you can see from my own photo, Sarah also signed those two T-shirts for the girls. Then comes Courtney. As it was announced there would be a short autograph session to the right side of the grandstands, I accompanied Linda, Mark, Courtney, and the others down to the session. Suddenly I realized Sarah had just walked right by us before we had reached the bottom of the stands. Finally reaching the bottom, I swooped up Courtney and went running after Sarah--yelling for her to stop. As a very large percentage of the crowd laughed, Sarah stopped. Working harder than I've worked in years, I breathlessly carried Courtney up to Sarah and told her Courtney had a very special photo she wished to be signed. The second attached shot says the rest. Sarah asked Courtney where she got such a special photo and Courtney said, Michael (her dad). Hopefully, Courtney will let me borrow it back so I can scan it again, because Sarah must have written a small paragraph on it. |
