Jennifer Jo Cobb (born June 12, 1973) is an American professional driver and team owner. She has competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series along with the ARCA Racing Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and currently competes in the latter series, driving for her own team Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing in the No. 10 Chevrolet Silverado.
She started racing in 1991 at Lakeside Speedway. Her father, Joe Cobb, races at Lakeside Speedway in the modified division. Since 2002, she has made 9 starts in the ARCA Racing Series, including 3 top-10s in 3 starts in 2004 while driving for Keith Murt.
In 2004, Cobb made her NASCAR debut in the Busch Series at Homestead-Miami Speedway. She drove the No. 50 Vassarette Chevrolet for Keith Coleman Racing and finished 43rd due to a crash on lap 2.
In 2006, Cobb created a line of clothing for female race fans called Driver Boutique. Proceeds from the sales of this line go towards her racing efforts, and she has attempted to qualify for various Busch and ARCA races in 2007 with the Driver Boutique sponsorship.
On July 19, 2008 she competed in the Camping World Truck Series event at the Built Ford Tough 225. She started in 35th and finished 26 driving the No. 74 Dodge for The Annexus Group completing 144 laps.

She started 34th and completed 72 laps before experiencing engine trouble, finishing 26th out of 35 drivers winning a purse of $10,680.
In 2010, Cobb announced that she would run full-time in the truck series, after purchasing the assets of the No. 10 truck team from Rick Crawford, whose Circle Bar Racing downsized from a two-truck operation to one — Crawford's own No. No. 14.
