The Indianapolis Motor Speedway announced Tuesday that former IndyCar driver and team owner Sarah Fisher will drive the pace car for this month’s Indianapolis 500. Fisher will drive a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z-oh six and lead the field May 29th. Fisher drove in the Indy 500 nine times between 2000 and 2010, a record for women drivers, and she remains the fastest woman qualifier in race history. The Ohio native was the first woman to win a pole position in an IndyCar race when she qualified first at Kentucky Speedway in 2002, and she finished a career-best second at Homestead in 2001. The former IndyCar most popular driver later owned a team, and helped give future two-time series champion Josef Newgarden his start in IndyCar. Fisher is currently a business owner in Speedway as well as Daytona Beach, Florida, and drives the pace car at select IndyCar races.
