In order to attend the Best of Leavenworth

Saturday. Jennifer will finish practice at
Chicagoland Speedway around 2pm on Friday, will
fly from Chicago to Kansas City and will arrive

will be there for about 2 hours, will then
arrive back in Chicago around midnight and then
will race on Saturday, which will be televised
live on SPEED Channel at 1pm. “I offered to do
this for Providence Health because they have
been so supportive of my racing career and I
wanted to help them with this great event and I
look forward to meeting a lot of great people at
the Best of Leavenworth Event,” Cobb said.
“Jennifer believes that wellness and staying
healthy is a top priority and felt it was
important to help us promote this message at the
Best of Leavenworth event,” Catherine Rice,
Providence Health Marketing and Volunteer
Services director said. “We arranged for her to
fly from Chicago to Leavenworth after her
practice runs on Friday afternoon. She will fly
back to Chicago on Friday night and be ready to
race on Saturday.”
Jennifer is coming off a 7th place finish at
Nashville Super Speedway and a 9th place finish

additional sponsorship must still be secured for
