Indy Racing League driver and three-time World Karting Association Grand National Champion Sarah Fisher scared up a P1 finish at a 100-mile Halloween Grand Prix karting event in Norway, Ill. Saturday.

Fisher, teaming with her fiancé, Andy O'Gara, took first place in the 30-kart Yamaha Supercan division. The victory comes two weeks after Sarah teamed with Champ Car World Series rookie Katherine Legge at NewCastle MotorSports Park for a go-kart endurance race. Fisher and Legge finished 31st in that race after a broken chain forced extensive repairs.

“I had so much fun this weekend as I partnered with my fiancé, Andy, to compete in the 100 mile endurance race in Norway,” said Fisher. “The speedway really has a great facility and it is a really nice place to race at. It’s a really fast track yet is very technical which I love! You can go through the corners with momentum and you really have to utilize your skills to hang onto it. I’ve been entering as many races during the off-season as I can to get experience on the road courses to prepare myself for 2007. Go-karts really teach and hone your skills as they have a lot of the elements the big cars use. I definitely want to take my brother-in-law, Kyle, there and run him to get some additional experience. It’s a great place to teach someone about the line.”

Fisher has said her off-season will include a trip to Skip Barber school to continue to develop her road racing skills.
