Sarah Fisher Gives Her PR Guy and Katherine Legge Props

Sarah Fisher PR Czar Klint Briney poses with his boss at a go-kart track during a team outing. Rumor has it soon after this picture was taken Sarah gave Klint a serious smackdown on the track.

Open-wheel driver and three-time World Karting Association Grand National Champion Sarah Fisher today refused to confirm rumors that she gave her PR Czar Klint Briney a serious spanking on the track during a recent team outing.

"Klint is as cool as a pr/marketing guy can get," said Sarah in a quote I am not making up. "He isn't afraid to try his hand at some karting even if he knows he won't be the quickest. We had a ton of fun for sure and that is what its all about."

With Sarah refusing to go on record as to how bad she lapped our boy Klint (shown in full Pit Stallion Mode at right) -- and instead giving him a shout out -- we fired in five more questions about the budding friendship across party lines between Sarah and Champ Car rookie Katherine Legge. Shout out to Klint for getting these 100% genuine answers from Sarah.

1) Have you met and hung out with Katherine and are you tight now?

Sarah: "I hadn't spent much time with Katherine before this past weekend (Oct. 14 and 15 during a karting endurance race) other then occasional appearances that overlapped. She is a really cool person and really down to earth. I would look forward to doing other events with her in the future."

2) Any truth to the rumor that you two are calling your team "team pressdog?"

Sarah: "No, I think it was Team MKPGP." (pressdog gets faced!)

3) Anything you can do to get this whole unification thing going between IndyCar ChampCar?

Sarah: "Not as one person. It's a solution that only the big guys can come up with. Of course, I would certainly volunteer to help because I love open-wheel racing and want to see it succeed."

4) Will you hit up Katherine for any tips and advice on big-car road racing?

Sarah: "Drivers will always share experiences and if something pops in my head that I want to ask, certainly I will."

5) How do you think Katherine would do on a dirt track? Maybe you two could hang at Knoxville in 2007 for the grand nationals. Bring Erin Crocker along or Danica?

Sarah (pictured to the right in a sprint car circa 1998): "I think a good race car driver can drive anything with the right teaching on technique and time. So, if it is enjoyable and you like it then you will study harder to find the right technique. She would definitely have fun in a sprint car! We'll see, schedules for 2007 are packed and I want to do a collection of racing besides what I might get to do in the IRL. Certainly if I am not in a car, I would go cheer her on at one of her races!"
