Jennifer Jo Cobb, Driver No. 79 Ford Mustang NASCAR Nationwide Series
Phoenix International Raceway Notes and Quotes
Jennifer Jo Cobb made history last week with her sixth place finish in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race at Daytona International Speedway. Her performance marked the highest finish for a female in NCWTS history. Cobb just missed earning the best-ever finish for a female driver in one of NASCAR’s top-three series. Sara Christian set the benchmark in 1949 with a fifth place finish at Heidelberg Raceway in Pittsburgh in a Cup series race.
· Cobb’s Daytona run also marked the best ever finish for a female at the historic, high-banked speedway.
· Cobb will be racing her No. 79 Ford Mustang in this week’s Bashas’ Supermarkets 200. Cobb has named her car “Wizard,” referring to the acclaimed movie that took place in her home state of Kansas. She hopes that “Wizard” will whisk her to victory lane.
· Cobb has one previous start at Phoenix International Raceway. She competed in last season’s NCWTS event, which she finished in 23rd place.
