The wildcard entrant will be expected to struggle throughout the season, with less track time and experience than their competitors. But Courtney Crone can leave Miami happy with her performance, after a solid weekend.
The 23-year-old from California started from the back in both races, but fought her way up the field. Crone was unlucky not to score a point in race 2, having pushed Lia Block all the way to the finish line.
