SARAH FISHER

Sarah Fisher is a trailblazer in motorsports, holding the record for the most Indianapolis 500 starts by a woman with nine appearances. She was the first woman to win the pole position for a major North American open-wheel race and also holds the current track record at Kentucky Speedway.

​

Beyond her success behind the wheel, Fisher made history as the first female INDYCAR team owner, leading her team for eight seasons. She drove for her own team in three of those years and later guided future two-time Indy 500 Champion Josef Newgarden to his first two career wins.

​

Fisher has been recognized as one of "Indy’s Best and Brightest Leaders Under 40" and was voted "Most Popular Driver" four times across both INDYCAR and NASCAR competition. She has served on the National Women’s Business Council and currently sits on the board of the 500 Festival.

​

Today, Fisher is a thriving small business entrepreneur in Indiana, co-owning Whiteland Raceway Park, Speedway Indoor Karting, and the popular 1911 Grill restaurant. Alongside her husband and racing industry veteran Andy O’Gara, they are building a long-term development program aimed at helping their son Danny (11) climb the motorsports ladder, with hopes of reaching IndyCar or NASCAR.

 

Sarah lives in Indianapolis with her husband Andy and their two children, Zoey and Danny.
