BCR Keeps Moving Forward

Although BCR has not been competing as regularly as hoped they are still moving forward .  Brianne competed in April 2010 at VIR in a 24 hour road race with her team finishing in 2 nd place.  In July 2010 Brianne finished her Master's Degree receiving a Masters in the Art of Teaching with two specializations (Reading & National Board Certified Teacher Leadership).  During the 2010 season Brianne spent numerous weekends attending races at the Late Model, Trucks, Nationwide, and Cup level.  The team has also been working on both Late Models and preparing for their next race.  Economic hardships have certainly hit BCR, like many other teams, families, and businesses, but the team is moving forward searching for sponsorship.  Please continue to check back as we are working on updating this site.  For sponsorship inquiries please contact Brianne at BCronrathRacing@aol.com

Brianne Cronrath Signs with Integrity Sports Marketing, LLC

Huntersville, N.C. (August 6, 2009) – Brianne Cronrath and Integrity Sports Marketing, LLC mutually announce the signing of an Agreement that will feature the development of a marketing platform for Brianne focused on her involvement in NASCAR as well as promotional and representation activities. Cronrath, a graduate of the NASCAR “Drive for Diversity” program, is known as “America’s Fastest Teacher”. While NASCAR racing is her dream, being a 1st grade teacher in Charlotte, North Carolina is her current day job. “I am very excited about this program that Integrity Sports Marketing is putting together for me,” said Brianne. “I have had a strong desire since I was a kid to be a part of NASCAR and with the support of a company like this I believe my dream can become reality. I have given up a lot of things so far in my life to get myself to this point and I have learned that in order to reach higher up on the NASCAR ladder you need support and direction from folks like Integrity.” Cronrath is a frequent late model driver at Caraway Speedway in North Carolina and will continue those efforts as she prepares for her climb into the NASCAR ranks. The search begins for the perfect marketing partner for Brianne and her unique attributes that will begin her ascension to the next level. “We are excited about our involvement with Brianne,” stated Ron Linkous, partner of Integrity Sports Marketing, LLC. “We get approached by many drivers and we always look for something new and unique – Brianne is definitely that. Her talent behind the wheel of a race car is something that will take her to the next level. When you combine that with her marketing appeal we really do feel that she is the complete package and offers something in the sport that is currently not there.” For more information on Brianne Cronrath, please contact Integrity Sports Marketing (Brent Bushu @ 704-947-2300 or Ron Linkous @ 800-232-0789).

BCR Update: May 2009 BCR hit the track on May 9th for twin 100 lap races at Caraway Speedway. This marked their first outing in the 2009 race season. Brianne qualified 24th out of the 27 car field, not where they had hoped to be, but knowing they had a good car for the twins. Brianne was able to drive to a 10th place finish in the first 100 lap event, she tried to make the pass for 9th coming out of turn 4 but came up a nose short at the line. That finish allowed for Brianne to start the second twin from the 10th spot, and she was able to ride in 8th for the entire race, saving her tires until the end. Unfortunately, the end didn’t come quite the way the team had hoped, when an incident with about 30laps to go caused Brianne to be taken out on the front stretch and finish in the 19th spot. The hit was not what BCR needed as the car had to be brought in on two tow trucks. Many other teams were supportive and helped BCR put the car back together to where they were able to get it in the trailer. Now the team is at the shop making what repairs they can while searching for sponsorship.

BCR Update 4/22/09: Hi everyone, I am raising funds for the American SIDS Institute by participating in the 2009 Spring-for-SIDS Campaign. As many of you know this cause is very near and dear to my heart. Each year about 2500 babies die in the US from SIDS. It is the number one cause of death in children between 1 month and 1 year of life. Researchers still do not know why these seemingly well babies are dying. My team is raising funds in memory of my sister, Samantha Jordan Cronrath. I am hoping to raise over $500 for the fight against SIDS. Please help today by donating (minimum $20) online at http://www.springforsids.org/make_a_donation.php

Please enter my team’s name, Samantha's Angels when making your donation. I will be notified of all donations in my team’s honor. Although the minimum online donation is $20, you can donate directly to me with a minimum of $5 cash, and you will receive a fact card and sticker (the card will also act as a receipt for your donation). I sincerely appreciate your help! Brianne Cronrath

American SIDS Institute Names Brianne Cronrath as National Spokesperson
Charlotte, NC – May 22, 2008 (For Immediate Release)

BCR-Brianne Cronrath Racing is extremely excited to announce that Brianne Cronrath is teaming up with the American SIDS Institute to promote awareness of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) as a national spokesperson. Promoting SIDS awareness and prevention is an extremely important and personal cause for Brianne. Brianne and her family have experienced this tragedy firsthand as her 4-month old sister passed away from SIDS. Since starting her racing career over 16 years ago, Brianne has carried the initials of her younger sister on each of her race cars. “Being affiliated with the American SIDS Institute is extremely important to me. Anyone that has lost a loved one knows the ongoing struggle and pain when experiencing this kind of tragedy. This is a way for me to take part in raising awareness in memory of my sister.” SIDS is the unexplained sudden death of an infant. There are approximately 2,500 SIDS cases each year, the highest cause of deaths to infants between 1 month and 1 year of life. To find out more information on SIDS or to see how you can help please contact Brianne or visit: www.sids.org.

Cronrath always will have burning desire to race

She walks over, smiles and shakes his hand. Small talk follows and before he leaves, she gives the man her card. The encounter lasts maybe a minute and then with another handshake and a smile -- whoosh -- Richard Childress is gone ... on to meet the next person wanting his attention at Lowe's Motor Speedway. He'll do this routine ad nauseam on the day of the Nextel All Star Challenge, yet she sees the meeting quite differently. In the sport that values time more than the Swiss -- these could be the most important 60 seconds of Brianne Cronrath's career (more).
