Much pants wetting at pressdog World Headquarters over the news that Sarah Fisher will participate in races at Kentucky, Kansas, Chicagoland and the Indianapolis 500 thanks to sponsorship by Dollar General Store.
I'll be at the Chicagoland and Kansas races. You'll find me in the fetal position weeping tears of thanksgiving outside Sarah's hauler.
Sarah, like every other team, is working on finding funding for the rest of the ovals at least, if not the rest of the entire IRL schedule.
Check out the USA Today story below for more on Sarah's sponsorship, plus some comments about how the IRL is trying to position itself as a better value in sponsorship compared to the N-word.
IRL touts bang for buck as Fisher doubles sponsorship to four races.
I'm not a big fan, but, y'know what? Hell yeah Sarah! She loves the sport, and she's doing what she needs to stay in it! I have to respect the hell out of that.

Why not Texas? I think Texas has a high pay out. Not to mention it is my home track. How did she (or Dollar General) choose these tracks?

I think Sarah picked tracks that she traditionally runs the best at -- which is KS, Chicagoland and KY -- plus the Big Dog Indy 500. She's not coming to my home track, Iowa, so I feel your pain, John S.
