I have been tied up this week, and waited to see if anyone else would start this thread.
In the Allstar Shootout last weekend, Sarah took a car with a bent frame from 28th place on the starting grid to 12th place on the track. After the apparent winner was disqualified, all drivers were moved up one position. Fisher was running in 9th place on the last lap when she was hit and lost 3 positions.
Very early in the qualifying race on Friday night, Fisher was pushed into the outside wall. The wreck bent the chassis frame. The crew tried to fix the frame, but there was still damage when she raced in the main event Saturday night.
BMR had only one car at the event, and that was for their driver who finished 2nd in points in Nascar West. Point in these divisions go to the drivers, not the teams. Lewis and Fisher did not get the benefit of a BMR car at Allstar Race. The top 15 drivers in points in the Busch divisions are invited to the event. This year, 16 Nascar West drivers were invited.
Fisher's sponsor money was for the regular season. From what has been posted at racingwest.com, all sponsor money for all BMR drivers covered the regular season only. The deal for the Allstar race came together the Wednesday before the event, and it was with a Ford team. It is worth noting that Sarah's crew from BMR went over to the Ford team to crew her car for the Allstar Shootout.

Pressdog...BMR isn't a sponsor. Did you notice that Andrew Lewis also didn't driver his usual ride, the #18 from BMR? He drove for Clay Andrews and that was a deal he put together for himself. Portenga brought on King Taco for some additional sponsorship. Usually sponsor support only points races and this was a driver invitational. I am glad Sarah race and thank you to Bennet Lane for helping her do so. Don't forget her team that came on with two days notice. They worked all night to get that car runable after she was put in the wall a day earlier. The team worked until 1 am and was back a few hours later to get the car ready. WTG team. This was her team from the #20 car that came on their own to do this for her. She's a great person and I wish her the best.
