IF A LADY RACER EXPLAINED IT TO YOU WOULD YOU UNDERSTAND?
Current NASCAR
Gastonia, NC April 15, 2011 Erin Crocker (Evernham) from Cornelius, North Carolina made USCS history by becoming the first female sprint car driver to reach the www.RockAuto.com United Sprint Car Series presented by Goodyear victory lane in an A-Main event in the series 15-year history on Friday night at Carolina Speedway. Ironically the second place finisher was also female driver as well. The 2010 USCS Rookie of the Year and eighteen year-old female hot-shoe Morgan Turpen from Oakland, Tennessee followed Crocker across the finish line in second place after leading most of the 30 laps. Crocker placed another unique exclamation point to make her feature win even more spectacular. She struck a car ( just ahead of her) after taking the checkered flag and went flipping out of the track in between turns one and two. She was removed from the car unhurt and appeared in victory lane without her #98 Evernham Enterprises race car.
Finishing in seventh place was well known NASCAR Hall of Fame Crew Chief and former asphalt Modified racer, but, a a. sprint car rookie driver, Ray Evernham from Cornelius, North Carolina. Evernham is also the husband and car owner of the feature winner.

There's an (NASCAR Race Hub or you tube?) video of race winner Erin Crocker (Evernham)'s cool down lap accident with a a. sprint car rookie driver and husband, Ray Evernham.
They had an bet on between each other who would win or have the best race finish.
After the checkered flag, race winner Erin Crocker raced to catch up with her husband and he accidently unknowing cut off his wife's racecar, senting it flipping over the back straight arco railng and down an hill and was she was unhurt.
After finishing in seventh place and on his cool lap, Ray Evernham couldn't find his wife's car in Victory Lane.
