This Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Toyota Tundra 250 at the Kansas Speedway will mark the 96th race start for Kansas City, Kan., native, Jennifer Jo Cobb.
The team owner and driver is celebrating the coming of her 100th start in the series with her fans sharing #JJC100 on social media outlets.
“The hardest thing to do in this sport as an independent team is to have longevity and celebrating our 100th start at Texas Motor Speedway next month is an amazing feeling for our team,” Cobb said in a news release.
She comes into Friday’s race 17th in points with primary and returning sponsor Mark One Electric on the hood. This race marks the 11th time Mark One Electric has sponsored her at the Kansas Speedway.
“My professional racing career really began with the help of Kansas City sponsors and it is such an honor to return with hometown support from Mark One Electric, Arrow Truck Sales and Pizza Shoppe, who have been with us for multiple races at the Kansas Speedway,” she said.
Mark One Electric recently launched its first business Facebook page www.Facebook.com/MarkOneElectric, which provides its followers photos, articles and information not just on the company, but on the city it serves. Mark One has been a fixture in Kansas City for more than 40 years.
“It was time for us to connect with our community on the social landscape,” said Mark One president, Rosana Privitera Biondo. “I am pleased with the response we are getting and am looking forward to chronicling our experience with Jennifer and her team at the Kansas Speedway this week.”
Kansas City-based Arrow Truck Sales is celebrating its 65th anniversary this year and its fourth year as a JJCR sponsor. The company provides high-quality, pre-owned tractor trucks with locations throughout the United States and Canada. The team relies on an Arrow Truck Sales Volvo tractor to haul its valuable cargo to its 24-plus races across the country each year.
