Female driver to make NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut at Kansas Speedway
Kansas City native Jennifer Jo Cobb knew from the first shovel of dirt at ground-breaking, and the first wave of the green flag, that she would race at Kansas Speeedway.
Cobb’s seat time on the track started in 2002 with her first race in the ARCA RE/MAX Series, advanced to the former NASCAR Busch Series, and this month, she makes her debut into the always hard-charging NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
“I couldn’t be more excited. I love racing at Kansas Speedway, and am looking forward to climbing behind the wheel in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and kicking off Derrike’s new race team,” said Cobb. “We’re thankful for the continuing support of sponsors like Providence Medical Center and Saint John Hospital, who have been on board for more than four years, but we really need to turn some heads with this new program, and secure additional sponsorships that will allow us to race at more tracks this season.”
“I remember when Kansas Speedway was merely the dream of a few, and now look at the magnitude of the support from the community and the corporations both here in Kansas City and nationally,” Cobb said. “As a hometown driver, it’s exciting to see so many companies embrace the potential NASCAR has in reaching their goals, and we’re constantly pursuing opportunities to help them and other companies achieve their business goals!”
