28 Quotes by Erin Crocker

She would be prefer to be known as a good racer,

She grew up a tomboy, ... She actually played on a boys' hockey team. I remember once somebody asked her if she thought she could compete with the boys. She never thought she couldn't.

I wish her a lot of success. I think she's doing a good job, and hopefully we can both put a good name on the map for women in racing.

I got the car too far down on the apron and took the weight out of the right rear. Then it just spun around on me. That's disappointing. That's not what we wanted to do out there.

Certainly, she's extremely disappointed, because things were moving along and now it may seem like we are backing up. I don't want her to think that we are backing up. She's a very confident, very competent driver. And she's like I've said before, a fiery little red head, and she wants to go. That's one of the reason's she's going to make it, is because she's ready to go, and I would rather have someone that I have to hold back than someone I have to push forward.

I always thought I could compete with the boys and be successful. But I'm in racing to win -- not to be a girl in racing.

I think it's good to get in the truck and get a little bit familiar with it before we go full time. I want to have a strong finish and a good performance but mostly I just want to improve. If I feel like I come away from this race having learned a lot and improved and passing cars, then I'll be pretty happy with it.

I think Danica's doing a really good job but I don't necessarily understand why -- just because we're two women -- that we're always being compared,

I think I'm about as ready as I'm going to be, ... It's a big jump for me. I've only run five ARCA races and it's a huge difference between ARCA competition and the Busch series. So, I just have to take it one step at a time.
