Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing to Move Racing Headquarters to Speedway

SPEEDWAY, Ind., Dec. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing (SFHR)
in conjunction with the Speedway Redevelopment Commission (SRC) announced the
race team will relocate its motorsports headquarters from Indianapolis to
Speedway’s Main Street, adding yet another motorsports powerhouse to the Town.

“We are thrilled to welcome Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing to Main Street,” said
Vince Noblet, president of the SRC. “Sarah [Fisher] saw the potential of the
prime, development-ready sites located here on Main Street and has already
created an excellent vision for her new facility that is directly in line with
the goals of the SRC. The SRC, with Speedway businesses and residents, extend a
warm welcome to our newest neighbor.”

Led by founder and veteran IZOD IndyCar Series driver Sarah Fisher and new team
owner Wink Hartman, SFHR will build its new, $2.5 million dollar plus facility
featuring shop and office space for the race team. The building will encompass
space for composite and paint departments along with a fan interactive section,
with a retail element. Construction is expected to begin in late February 2012,
with completion in early September 2012.

“The excitement in building a new shop in Speedway for SFHR is yet another step
in becoming a top tier IZOD IndyCar Series team,” Hartman said. “The new shop
will allow SFHR to control most all aspects necessary to win including
engineering, service, expanded machine shop, paint and composites, family
friendly home style kitchen and the new SFHR gift shop with an interactive area
for the fans to enjoy. On the second floor is the new 2,500 sq. ft. executive
style gym and conference room overlooking the shop floor. We are excited to
handle most any size party or meeting needs for our sponsors. The new shop will
provide our sponsors with a great place to become a real part of the team. Sarah
Fisher Hartman Racing’s Executive Chef may have our sponsors thinking of trying
our executive gym.”

“We couldn’t be more excited for all the different layers of impact that the new
facility will bring to SFHR,” said Fisher. “It will be a tremendous asset to us
on the competition side, enabling in-house development of many of our current
procedures. The new facility will also bring the opportunity to interact with
our fans one-on-one with a retail and experiential area open to the public. This
opportunity for SFHR is entirely due to the long term, big picture vision of our
partner Wink Hartman. We will be able to drive forward with even greater success
on both the competition and business side of SFHR.”

In December 2011, Fisher announced her partnership with Hartman to form the SFHR
team, including IZOD IndyCar Series driver Josef Newgarden and United States
Auto Club driver Kyle O’Gara. The team signed Newgarden to pilot the No. 67
entry for SFHR in the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series season.

“We are so proud of Sarah and all that she has accomplished,” said Indiana
Governor Mitch Daniels. “Now, Indiana’s motorsports boom just got a little
louder.”

Fisher first announced plans to become the IZOD IndyCar Series’ first female
owner/driver and the youngest team owner in February 2008 at the Homestead-Miami
Speedway. The team competed in three events in 2008, grew 100 percent in 2009 to
six races and competed in 15 total events in 2010 during the team’s first season
initiating a two-car effort. With backing from Dollar General, SFR ran an
abbreviated schedule in 2011, competing in 10 events.

“We’ve seen Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing grow from a small part-time race team to
a proven race winner in the IZOD IndyCar Series,” said Randy Bernard, CEO of
INDYCAR. “Today’s announcement shows the team is committed to the future of our
sport, and I’m sure the team’s headquarters will become a landmark to visit on
Speedway’s Main Street and a welcome addition to the neighborhood.”
