- Kim Crosby is a NASCAR Busch Series driver and driving instructor. Before she became a NASCAR driver, she served as a middle school principal, resigning in December 2004 to focus full-time on her racing career. Crosby originally was a drag racer, competing in the NHRA and IHRA for fifteen years. She began oval racing in 2000 at the Buck Baker Driving School, where she graduated in the advanced class. She would later return to work at the school as an instructor at the school's satellites at Bristol Motor Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, and Darlington Raceway. She also ran the Florida Fast Trucks Series. In 2003, she made her debut in the ARCA RE/MAX Series, where her best finish came in her first start, a 21st at Kentucky Speedway. She ran two more races that year in the ARCA series. In 2004, she was signed to drive the #28 for Black Cat Racing, but left the team during Speedweeks. She ended up making her Busch Series debut at Talladega Superspeedway, finishing 20th in the #51 Boudreaux's Butt Paste Dodge owned by Ware Racing Enterprises. She ran three more races for Ware that season, her best finish coming in her Talladega debut. She closed out the year running for ORTEC Motorsports, finishing 38th at the Aaron's 312. She signed to drive for GIC-Mixon Motorsports in 2005, driving the #24 Butt Paste Chevrolet. After failing to qualify due to sub-standard equipment on her first three starts, GIC-Mixon bought the owner's points to the #7 car previously fielded by NEMCO Motorsports, and she made the next two races, her best finish a 35th at Atlanta. By mid-season, she left GIC and signed to drive the #26 Chevrolet for Keith Coleman Racing, finishing 28th at Daytona International Speedway. Unfortunately, she was only able to qualify for one other race that year and resigned from the team. Keith Coleman Racing closed its doors in 2007 after going thru no less than 10 drivers, all whom resigned due to out-dated equipment. In 2006, it was announced she would run a part-time schedule for Frank Cicci Racing with Jim Kelly. She made her first start for the team in June at the Milwaukee Mile, starting 41st after wrecking during qualifying, then finishing 40th after suffering electrical problems early in the race. She has recently become head of HerRacing. com, an online community for female racecar drivers, as well as delving into the wholesale import business through Dennis East International. She continues to pursue her racing career and is currently licensed in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with the 15 and 51 team. If sponsorship allows, she will compete part-time in 2009.
