Here is a legitmate shot for Sarah to showcase some skills on a demanding track. Let's hope she does will. Get well soon Robbie.

That article is from friday, and I am not sure an official announcement has been made yet, has it?


Granted, I am not at home to receive my TSL updates either.

The local news outlets were saying that the announcement would be made today. Sarah was on one of the Sunday evening shows talking calmly about her new opportunity.

Well, I can only hope that this is true. What wonderful news for Sarah, and I hope it can expand into a continuing role with this wonderful team. We love Robbie Buhl and I will hate not seeing him at Nazareth, but we'll now really get to see what ability Sarah has, being in a good car.

Robbie, get better soon, darn it! We'll miss watching you at Naz!

I sure hope if this is her ride that Dreyer and Reinbold set up her car better than they did for Memo. Then again, that was a backup and he got very litle practice time for the race. I reall hope this is a long-term relationship.

Now, I wonder how all those people that said she would end up in this ride are feeling now.

How many times does she get to say, "I'm so sorry, really I'm sorry" before the crew holds her down and washes her mouth out with Purex?

[Ren Butler]

So how is this going to work:

Fisher at Nazareth, and then both drivers the rest of the year?

Is that the presumptive "announcement" that will occur today?

There are no ovals with 7 turns so I guess we know where you are coming from.

I'm guessing that the upcoming announcement will be just about Nazareth. Also, don't always assume it is today. She said it could be as early as tody, but might not be.

The car was set up perfectly for Memo...If your trying to say the setup was junk you are uninformed. The engine layed down on him almost from the start of the race. Check the stats...Memo turned some very fast laps at the start of the race.

[Sam Fan]

YES !!!! I, for one, am thrilled !!! It's official!


Sam will always be my favorite, but since Sarah grew up real close to my home area, she's a sentimental second ...

““Sarah Fisher is not only one of the most talented race drivers available, we truly believe that she shares our values and appreciation for what we are trying to build at Dreyer & Reinbold Racing...We have watched Sarah perform at this level with great interest, and we would really like to make Dreyer & Reinbold her home for the future,” Buhl said.”

Translation: unless Ms. Fisher totally steps on her...ah...foot @ Nazareth, she’s a lock in the 23 car for Indianapolis, at least.

Some say that Nazareth has more than four turns.

I truly hope this young lady finds a home with D&R for the rest of the season and beyond...
