Erin Crocker Ray Quotations

Ray and the entire team have been a tremendous help to me. I'm fortunate to have them.

Ray criticized some things I did on the track. Fair enough, he wasn't mean about it but I'd rather have someone speak the truth to me any day than tell me different.

Ray Evernham has given me a great opportunity and I have good people around me, so it makes things a lot easier, ... I'm very excited. It is a big step and I don't have that much stock car experience and I can't wait to get that first one over and done with. It's the opportunity of a lifetime.

Everything was new to me last year. Ray criticized some things I did on the track and I'm glad he told me the truth, but I was thrown to the wolves a little bit. I feel much more comfortable out there now.

I'm ready to fight for it, and I think I can make it happen. Like Ray and Kasey said, it's a matter of having the right equipment, getting the right funding, learning at the right rate, and not throwing myself into something I'm not ready for. So, there are a lot of factors. It really is a tough business, especially NASCAR.
