Default E-Brake light stays on

I just went to the track yesterday and now my brake light always stays on when i'm driving. Is this an electrical problem or something that has to do with my brake fluid? Anyhelp would be appreciated, thanks.

Check the brake fluid level 1st. It's possible the switch in the master cylinder reservoir has gone bad. Unfortunately, the entire master cylinder must be replaced as the reservoir and switch are not available seperately.

If the fluid level is OK, and the e-brake is down unplug the switch on the reservoir. If the light goes out, the switch is faulty.
