Sarah Fisher Racing will debut at the 92nd running of the Indianapolis 500 in May and also will compete at Kentucky Speedway and Chicagoland Speedway in 2008.

Team co-owner Sarah Fisher, a veteran of 67 IndyCar Series starts since her debut in 1999, will drive the No. 67 Honda-powered Dallara for the team she helped form during the offseason. The team recently secured sponsorship from ResQ Pure Power Energy Drink, a cold-packaged, non-alcoholic, sports and energy drink with all natural ingredients that can be found in convenient stores, grocery stores and other outlets that sell energy drink products.

“ResQ is an all natural energy drink and that aligns perfectly with what my brand represents," Fisher said. “ResQ is very big-picture orientated and understands the value of the IndyCar Series and we are happy to provide that platform to them for their marketing efforts."

Fisher will be attempting her sixth start in the Indianapolis 500 in May. She was the third woman to qualify for the event when she debuted in 2000. That same season, Fisher became the first woman to lead laps in the IndyCar Series, when she paced the field for nine laps at Kentucky en route to a third-place finish. Kentucky also was the site of Fisher’s only career pole – also the first for a female driver – in 2002.
