SFR Moves to Bigger Location to Accommodate More Races and a New Driver
INDIANAPOLIS Nov 24, 2009 Sarah Fisher Racing (SFR) announced today
plans to relocate its race shop to a larger facility this winter. The
two-year-old team has outgrown its current facility, which it has only
occupied since January 2008. The team began their move into the new
facility today.
The news comes on the heels of the announcement that the team would
expand Sarah Fisher's Dollar General program to nine races and add 2006
Firestone Indy Lights Champion Jay Howard for four events in 2010 with
backing from Tire Kingdom. SFR will move into a facility, which is
15,000 square-feet, triple the size of its current facility.
"Growth is a great problem to have," said Fisher. "We've worked
tirelessly to build and expand this program, and we're thrilled to see
the results in our 2010 plans. I have a new teammate, a new car, and now
we will have the room to stretch our legs and keep developing."
Just a few suites down from their current shop, the new facility
features a dedicated build area for the team's cars, an in-house setup
and twist rigs facility, a design area and state-of-the-art machine
shop. The new facility is in move-in condition, and the team will
transition seamlessly to their new home during the off-season.
"When we moved into our current shop," said Fisher, "we gutted the
place. We got in, rolled our sleeves up and designed the shop the way
we wanted it. With the new place, it is ready for us to move in and get
right to work on the cars."
Fisher said the team maintains their small-business charm. The addition
of a new driver and new team members just means this family is growing
for the better.
"We have the best crew, the best sponsors and any new additions are
welcomed with open arms," said Fisher. "We are a close-knit group here
and no matter how big this team gets, we will always be the same SFR
family."
