INDIANAPOLIS — Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing will partner with RW Motorsports to add a second car for the IndyCar Series race at Sonoma.

A five-time ALMS champion, Luhr is the only ALMS driver to win championships in three separate series classes: GT, LMP2 and LMP1.

Luhr and SFHR will participate in a manufacturer test Aug. 13 in Sonoma.
