Crocker’s Night Cut Short
posted in General |
Ray Evernham protege Erin Crocker drove a car owned by Kasey Kahne in the Richmond Times-Dispatch USAC Silver Crown Series race Saturday night. She started 23rd, finished only 27 laps and finished 29th.
“I was hoping to come from the back and pass a lot of cars. We started that way and I was up to 18th or something,” she said. “Part of the brake pedal broke and I went into turn one without any brakes.“That was a little exciting.”
Crocker, 24, from Wilbraham, Mass., expects to be back at RIR in September to make her debut in NASCAR’s Busch Series.
Dave Steele won the race from the pole, leading all 100 laps for his third victory here and his seventh top-10 in as many career starts.
“Winning never gets old,” he said.
Steele also took the points lead in the series by 15 over runner-up Brian Tyler, while former leader Josh Wise dropped to third, 17 back.
