Jennifer Jo Cobb will make her NASCAR Cup Series debut next weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.
The 47-year-old will drive the No. 15 for Rick Ware Racing. The machine has backing from Arrowhead Brass and Fastener Supply.
Cobb becomes the first female to race in the sport since Danica Patrick. Patrick retired for the sport following the 2018 Daytona 500.
Any bets where she finishes?
Why use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice.

First NASCAR race at 47 years old, hopefully she finishes the race. Highly doubtful a top ten finish.

Added later: wasn’t there a young up and coming female racer from Okanagan, making her way up. Or I’m I wrong
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

She won't even start.

Jennifer Jo Cobb will no longer make her NASCAR Cup Series debut this weekend after NASCAR announced that she hasn’t been approved for participation.
Although Cobb was previously approved for Cup Series competition a few years ago, the requirements and performance standards have changed over time. NASCAR takes into consideration a driver’s past performance when going through the approval process to enter into the Cup Series, and experience does not always mean experience and laps completed.

Cobb fields her own team in the Camping World Truck Series, where she has made 217 starts since 2008 with one top-10 finish. She ran 21 of 23 races last season (finishing on the lead lap once) and 19 of 23 in 2019 (finishing on the lead lap twice). Cobb also has 31 starts in the Xfinity Series since 2004, with her most recent having come in 2018.
