Quotes
Erin Crocker
“My heart’s beating pretty fast and I’m out of breath. This has been a long year, and we’ve been through some tough times, but Mike Woodring and my crew stuck with me. This is a rookie team with a rookie driver, and after everything we’ve been though, this win means the world to me! I don’t know where (the winning move) it came from! I have so many people to thank for this! Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is my university, and they’ve been my sponsor for three years, and without them this wouldn’t be possible. We have so many great associate sponsors—Car Mate Trailers, and just so many people who have helped make it possible. I’ll definitely be back to Tulare!”
