After being saddled with more than her share of pigs in IndyCar racing, Sarah Fisher apparently decided to climb aboard something that at least had some towing power.
She recently took a trip aboard Tombi, a 31-year-old, 14,000-pound African elephant, as part of the Indianapolis Zoo's elephant awareness days.
The donkey is the symbol for the Democratic Party, a member of which (Hilary Clinton) Sarah endorsed for president. Perhaps in the spirit of equal time, Sarah helped wash an elephant, the symbol for the Republican Party.
Once aboard, Sarah surprised the zoo staff by letting out a scream when Tombi exited the pit.
"She races at over 200 miles per hour and she was scared to ride on an Elephant that doesn’t even go 30 mph,” joked Tombi’s trainer."
An IndyCar won't accidentally drop you from upwards of 10 feet, though, unless you happen to be Dario Franchitti.
Witnesses also speculated that Sarah saw Marco Andretti in her Tombi's rear-view causing the outburst.
The mind boggles at the possible jokes involving elephants and downforce.

'Dog,
Any truth to the rumor that Danica saw this story and immediately demanded Andretti\Green racing get her a rhinoceros?
