Crosby,
Coleman Racing decide to part
ways (November
16, 2005)
SLIDELL, La. -- NASCAR
Busch Series rookie Kim Crosby has announced that
she is no longer a part of Keith Coleman Racing,
effective immediately.
Crosby ran two NASCAR
Busch Series races in 2005 and five in 2004 and ,
with her best finish a 20th-place lead-lap run in
Talladega.
In four career ARCA RE/MAX
series races, her finishes included a 21st in
Kentucky and a 23rd in Nashville in 2003, as well

hits home for Busch racer
Crosby
(September 03, 2005)
Like so many folks in the Gulf Coast these days,
Kim Crosby's perspective has changed recently.
Butt
paste produces sponsor dollars,
laughs (April

NASCAR racing these days sure creates some strange
bedfellows.
Crosby
to attempt full Busch schedule with
GIC
(December 21,
2004)
GIC/PSE-93 announced the signing of Kim Crosby to
drive the No. 93 race car for a full-schedule of 35
races in the 2005 NASCAR Busch Series.
Crocker is a 24-year-old from Wilbraham,
Massachusetts with an engineering degree from
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Like Patrick, Crocker has come through the
amateur levels of racing with great success, and
her resume includes becoming the first woman to win
a race on the tough “World of Outlaws”
circuit -- a demanding traveling tour of
fire-breathing, lightning-fast sprint cars racing
on dirt tracks from coast to coast.
On that circuit Crocker acquitted herself very well
against veterans of the tour, earning the respect
of drivers like Steve Kinser and Danny Lasoski, who
are well known to American racing fans.
One NASCAR team owner feels that the talent
shown by Crocker merits a further opportunity. For
2005 Crocker was signed to a contract by top NASCAR
team owner Ray Evernham, who has put into place a
program to get Crocker experience in superspeedway
racing.
Evernham will field entries for Crocker in
several NASCAR Busch Series and ARCA Series races,
the first of which was in Nashville on March 28.
Crocker won the pole position for that race and led
some laps, even making a bold three-wide move for
the lead.
While a spin relegated Crocker to a 12th-place
finish, Evernham was full of praise for her
effort.
Will Crocker be the first woman driver to take
the checkered flag in a Nextel Cup race?
Only time will tell, but if she does remember
those long odds that she will have beaten, and like
Danica Patrick, realize how deserving she will be
of all the attention given to her. (of the the
NASCAR Busch series)
