“The 16-Year Old Indiana Native Picked Up the 40-lap Mopar D1 Midget Feature Win at the Indianapolis Speedrome Wednesday Night”

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (June 2, 2011)­­- Sarah Fisher Racing (SFR) development driver, Kyle O’Gara, took the checkered flag, in his first ever regional USAC midget main event, at the Indianapolis Speedrome Wednesday night, driving the No. 6 Service Central / East Enterprises / SFR / Beast / Hoosier machine. O’Gara, a junior at Roncalli High School in Indianapolis, started the race from the outside of row one in second place, making a pass for the lead in turn one after taking the green flag.

Kyle O’Gara: “First of all I have to take this opportunity to thank Service Central for jumping on board with us this season, and I also owe a huge thank you to the guys at East Enterprises and SFR for all of their hard work. Their commitment is proven through what we accomplished on track tonight, and I’m proud to be a part of a team that has such a bright future. I am confident that this is the first of many good things to come this season and beyond.”

O’Gara led every lap of the 40-lap Mopar D1 midget feature, with last year’s reigning series champion, Jake Blackhurst, knocking on the door.

SFR team owner and retired IZOD IndyCar Series® driver, Sarah Fisher, and husband Andy O’Gara, were in Victory Lane with Kyle, just minutes after flying home from an IZOD IndyCar Series test at the Milwaukee Mile, with SFR driver Ed Carpenter.

Sarah Fisher: “It’s an incredible experience to see someone like Kyle develop as a driver, and with the help of Bob East, Kyle has learned an immense amount in a very short period of time. Andy and I enjoyed running Kyle on our own, but are proud and thankful that Bob and his team saw Kyle for his talent and wanted to bring Kyle into the Beast family. We are very appreciative that Service Central gave Kyle this opportunity to shine and we look forward to the many races to come this season.”

Kyle will be back on track, proudly flying the red, white, and blue colors of his Service Central Racing machine, this Friday night at Anderson Speedway. The youngster hopes that this victory is the first of many to come.
