There was more to Sarah Fisher's story than her just getting wrecked. She went into the race with her own team and a signed contract with a company promising to sponsor her race car. Problem is, the sponsor never sent the check and Fisher had already spent money on a car and getting ready for the race today and a few others later this season. Had she been able to stay on the track and finish the race and not get into any major trouble, she could have made it to the race at Kentucky Speedway in a month, but we saw what happened today. Given the circumstances and the pressure she has been under this month, I honestly don't blame her for crying. Hopefully someone will put their name on the side of her car so she can race a few more times at least this season.
