Press Releases by Kim Crosby
August 17, 2005
Crosby
Happy to be 'Back' at MIS
Eddyville, Ky. –For the first time since she
raced at Pikes Peak, and just the second time since Daytona
in July, Crosby will be competing on a track that she has
been on before.
Crosby, who will be driving the #26 Vassarette Chevrolet,
qualified 34th at Michigan International Speedway last season.
Engine problems ended her day early but they could not dampen
her enthusiasm for the speedway.
“I absolutely love Michigan. I had a good run going
there last year until we had some problems with the engine.
It will be nice to be racing at a track I’m familiar
with for a change.”
It will be a nice change for Crosby, whose first trip around
the track last weekend at Watkins Glen International was her
qualifying attempt.
“We didn’t get through tech in time for the first
practice and the second was rained out,” said Crew Chief
Gene Allnutt. “She had a really good run going but it
just didn’t happen for us.”
Crosby and the #26 team will have two practices on Friday
to fine tune the car. Qualifying airs at 10 a.m. Eastern Time
on Saturday on Speed and the race follows on TNT at 3 p.m
