Is Evernham happy to marry with a car driver Erin Crocker?”
Ray Evernham and Erin Crocker exchanged vows Wednesday night in a Las Vegas hotel in front of immediate family members and friends — and me.

ESPN NASCAR analyst Ray Evernham has married race car driver Erin Crocker. A representative for the former team owner says the two were married Wednesday in a small ceremony at the Southpoint Hotel.

Evernham won three championships as crew chief for Jeff Gordon before moving into ownership.
