CuttersRT and Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing Partner to Enter Indianapolis 500 via Crowd Funding (Update)

UPDATE As the arrangement goes, the second car of Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing will carry the names of everyone who donated at least $100 to the effort. If the goal is achieved, Fisher has vowed to put no other sponsor decals on the car.

“I don’t know if they can do it, but good luck to them," Fisher said. “They have great entrepreneurial spirit."

Falling short won’t be a lost cause, Fisher said.

“We’ll do something with these folks no matter what," she said.

Fisher said she hopes to finalize the entry during the season-opening weekend in St. Petersburg, Fla. (March 28-30). No driver has been selected, although Fisher said she “has some ideas."

02/11/14 Cutters Race Team (CuttersRT) today announced it is creating a movement and attempting to enter an entirely non-corporate car into the Indianapolis 500 in 2014. Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing (SFHR) will operate the car with a driver yet to be named. The ride will be known as “The People’s Race Car."

CuttersRT has set a $1 million goal and is calling on race fans everywhere to participate in the Indianapolis 500 in a way never before seen. All of the money raised will take place via crowd funding and each entry will go towards getting “The People’s Race Car" to the starting lineup for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

Anyone can join CuttersRT and be an official sponsor of the Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing entry, all for only $100. Various sponsor packets are available, each with different options for prizes and opportunities to participate in numerous trackside events prior to the race. Only names of individuals will appear on the race car. No corporate sponsor logos will end up on the car if all of the financial goals are met.

“I’m thrilled to have a race car that’s in the Indianapolis 500 that is fully funded by the fans," said Sarah Fisher. “We feel like we are giving our team the best chance to win the 500, and we’re excited to share this with the best race fans in the world."
