USA Today has a little story today on Sarah Fisher busting out as a team owner. Unfortunately, she's not calling her company Flying Fish Racing. Opportunity lost.
Sarah is expected to have a press conference today at Homestead with Janet Guthrie and Lyn St. James in the house. Danica Patrick is not scheduled to appear. Sarah probably couldn't afford Danica's appearance fees.
I also don't think Sarah will embrace Danica's pioneering beaver-based marketing strategy (actually, I hope to God she doesn't). Very sadly, Sarah's unwillingness to do any beaver talk probably has a lot to do with her just running a partial season this year.
I'm disappointed that women who hooch it up are rewarded in the American marketplace, but that's just reality. Keep your clothes on, Sarah! My daughters need a role model.

'Dog,
You need to e-mail Sarah and tell her she's making a BIG mistake: Flying Fish racing is a NATURAL!
c'mon Sarah!
