Cobb has been exposed in the field in an early age because her father, Joe Cobb, had been also into racing. Her father started racing when she was just three and she laved being in the garage and usually fall asleep in her father’s racing seat.

In 1991, Cobb began racing. Like other racers especially women, she also experienced some up-and-down but still acquired several achievements. In the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series, she had always finished in the top ten championship standings for every season. In 2002, she had her debut in the ARCA RE/MAX Series at the Kansas Speedway, obtaining the 16^th position and 9^th place on the national race. In 2006, however, she had decided to put her racing career on a halt and divert her focus on garments. She had put up a clothing line exclusively for female race fans called Driver Boutique.

 

After some time, her passion was awoken and so continued driving by testing at several tracks. She also worked at Richard Petty Driving Experience where she logged over 1,000 laps per weekend at different NASCAR-sanctioned racetracks like Daytona International Speedway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, California Speedway, Michigan International Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, and others.

Her academic background would state that she has an Associate’s degree in Pre-Journalism and currently studying broadcasting. Likewise, she also appeared in several TV channel and programs.

 

Meanwhile, Cobb considers her victories as the highlight of her career. She raced for 10 years in the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series wherein winning the points championship at I-70 Speedway in 200 is its best highlight. Her first ARCA race at Kansas Speedway is a milestone for her, qualifying 28^th out of 55 cars during her first NASCAR Busch race make her feel great.

 

To compete full time in the NASCAR Busch Series and to race in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series are her future goals. For this year, she strongly hopes to get more sponsors because it is quite hard to race under-funded.

Derrike thought that they could work together to advance in their career by obtaining sponsors. Their team up is just new but they are working together to both achieve their ends.

 

When Cobb was asked if she has any apprehensions in today’s race, she confidently said that none because since she just live 2 miles from the track and have worked at the Kansas Speedway. She thinks that the track is driver-friendly and best fitted for her debut.

 

This year and her NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series today is her another chance to achieve more in her career. Though she doesn’t have national sponsorship yet, she will still do her nest to finish the race. Derrike also has great confidence in the equipment he had and she in their new team.
