WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. – After a six-year hiatus, Florida’s Andy Cobb will return to dirt sprint car competition on Sept. 12 at Hendry County Motorsports Park.
For the past six years, Cobb has been busy with multiple endeavors, including starring on the hit reality TV show Honky Tonk Ranch with the Bellamy Brothers, drag boat racing, and taking over the family glass business.
However, Cobb recently decided it was time to strap back into a dirt sprint car.
The July 4 Top Gun Sprint Series race at Hendry County Motorsports Park was sponsored by Cobb Glass Company, but the race was rescheduled due to rain. That delay was the perfect opportunity for Cobb to prepare for a return to the dirt sprint car ranks.
Andy will be driving the Butler Motorsports No. 81 entry usually piloted by sprint car legend Stan Butler.
“I am honored to just sit in Stan’s seat” said Cobb. “Stan is a legend and someone I have always looked up to. The opportunity to drive his car is a dream come true.”
Cobb plans to race full time in 2021, along with continuing drag racing competition.
“I am honored to have the best marketing partners to take along on our return to sprint car racing, including Cobb Glass Company, Ricky and Karla Jones, Keene Services, Southwest Fence and Supply, Jim Fox Concrete, Stepp’s Towing and Velocita USA,” said Cobb.
