Crosby who made her debuty with the team in this year’s Winn-Dixie 250 at Daytona, stated that she has decided to part ways with Keith Coleman Racing but is thankful for the opportunity and experience she has gained this season. “It has not been an easy season for this rookie, but I have learned a great deal and believe that everything happens for a reason,” explained Crosby, who was a former high school principal before turning to her racing career full-time. Crosby stated that her sponsors, Golden Flake Snack Foods and Boudreaux’s Buttpaste will go with her as she finalizes plans for the 2006 racing season. “I am very excited about the possibilities for 2006 and am very much looking forward to finalizing my plans in the coming weeks,” Crosby said. Crosby has been contacted by several teams within NASCAR and is making certain that the next choice she makes will be a positive move for her.(Catchfence)
AND Kim Crosby will no longer be a part of Keith Coleman Racing, the team announced. Crosby, who joined the team mid-way through the season, served as the driver of the #26 Vassarette Chevrolet and product spokesperson for Vassarette. It makes the most sense for both parties, said Keith Coleman, team owner. As an organization we felt we needed to go in a different direction and Kim wanted to be able to explore other opportunities. I appreciate all of Kims hard work on the part of KCR and Vassarette and I wish her well next season. Im sure well see her on the track somewhere in 2006.(KCR PR)(11-17-2005)
