In the past, she played soccer, tennis, and varsity lacrosse on both her high school and college teams.

She then moved on to win several awards and three Northeast Regional Quarter Midgets of America championships from 1993 to 1996 while in middle and high school.

In 1997, Crocker began running Mini Sprints at Whip City Speedway in Westfield, MA.

Crocker started racing professionally in the World of Outlaws while attending Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in industrial and management engineering in 2003.

She won five feature races as well as twelve heat events, earning her the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Outstanding Newcomer Award.

She also became the first World of Outlaws driver to win a feature race that year in Tulare, California.

In her next start at Dover International Speedway, she qualified ninth, but wrecked eleven laps into the race after being tapped by Justin Labonte.

Crocker sustained a cracked rib from the incident forcing her to sit out some races she was scheduled to compete in.

19 team’s lack of on-track success was due in large part to Evernham’s attention being focused on his personal relationship with an unnamed female driver.

She ran a limited two-race schedule in the truck series for Morgan-Dollar Motorsports, before she was replaced by Red Bull drivers A. J. Allmendinger and Scott Speed.
