Sarah Fisher to complete in the Chilli Bowl Nationals

Verizon IndyCar Series team co-owner Sarah Fisher announced that she will compete in the 29th Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire on Jan. 12-17 in Tulsa, Okla. Fisher’s last time driving a racecar in competition was in 2010 in the Verizon IndyCar Series finale at Homstead-Miami Speedway.

Having a background in sprint car and midget racing, she tested a sprint car in October with RW Motorsports. This will mark her first time competing in the prestigious event with qualifications set to begin on January 15th.

“Competing in the Chili Bowl has always been a bucket list item for me and with the support of (CFH Racing co-owner) Wink (Hartman) I am able to fulfill another dream,” Fisher said. “By attending the event last year to cheer on my brother-in-law Kyle O’Gara, I was able to experience the atmosphere and see how much fun it was. I wanted to be racing in it the next time I came back.

“I have raced on dirt in the World Of Outlaws and the All Star Circuit of Champions, but being in a midget on dirt is a new experience for me and I am very excited for the challenge.”

The 34-year-old will drive the No. 67RW for RW Motorsports midget owned by Steve Weirich and Mario Rotondo. Hartman Oil will be the presenting sponsor, with Russell Oil, Inc., the National Cooperative Refinery Association and the Indy Trading Post as additional partners.

“We both have the same goals of putting open-wheel racing back at the forefront and certainly the Chili Bowl is an event that encompasses that goal. As we continue to work together in INDYCAR, this is a fantastic element to add to the mix,” Weirich said.
