The Clifton man, known on the track as "fishtail", and his Jesus Racing Team have been looking back on 2014 and have described it as a great year with many highlights on and off the track.
Among them was presenting the Life Choices program that takes a positive message to youth in 51 high schools across Australia.
The Jesus Racing Team also successfully created a new prison program that reaches hundreds of inmates in two correctional facilities.
Another successful men's event was held late in 2014 with more than 700 men attending.
On the track, the year included race wins and a podium finish in the Touring Car Masters series at Bathurst.
The Jesus Racing Team also entered two cars in the V8 Ute Championship at Darwin.
Fisher said none of that would have been possible without so many generous supporters.
"2015 is set to be even bigger again as we expand our programs both on and off the race track," he said.
"Our successful prison program will be expanded and our aim is to reach 10 detention centres throughout the country. We are also expanding into the Touring Car Masters Championship full time while still racing in the V8 Ute Series full time. On top of this, we are also taking our entire racing operation in-house rather than outsourcing as we have in the past. This is a big step and will be quite a challenge, however, we felt it was the right time to do this."
That means the team will be completely Wollongong based and interested to hear from local businesses keen to support it.
