Terry Cook Career

Racing career

Cook first began racing at Flat Rock Speedway and Toledo Speedway in 1987, winning eleven times in his first year of competition. In 1988, Cook doubled his win total before switching to super late models. Flat Rock Speedway won the track championship in 1989 and 1990. Cook won the Super Late Model Championship at Toledo Speedway in 1992 and then at Sandusky Speedway in 1995.

In 1995, Cook was supposed to start his NASC Craftsman Truck Series debut, but an accident in Toledo interrupted those plans. In 1996 at The Milwaukee Mile, Cook made his Truck Series debut. Qualifying the #88 Sealmaster Racing (now ThorSport Racing) Chevrolet Silverado 24th, he came in 24th, three laps down. He took part in two additional races this season, finishing 23rd at Phoenix International Raceway. Cook ran fifteen races during the season in 1997, with support from the PBA Tour. At Flemington Speedway, he took his first pole and ended in a top finish twice.

In 1998, Cook had a full schedule. He won his first race at Flemington and had six top-ten finishes, finishing the season 20th in final rankings. Cook had only three top-ten finishes before Big Daddy's BBQ Sauce came on board at the end of the season, finishing 15th in the standings due to a lack of primary sponsorship in 1999. PickupTruck.com became the team's primary sponsor in 2000, and Cook was released in a one-race to go for Matt Crafton. At the season finale, he drove for K Automotive Racing, finishing seventh. In 2001, he rode K Automotive's #29 Ford F-150 full time, winning the pole at Nazareth Speedway and finishing a career-high seventh in points.

Cook won a career best four races and two poles in 2002 but finished eighth in points. In 2003, he won two poles, but not in the top-five all season. In 2004, he joined ppc Racing's fledgling truck team. Despite winning the pole at the season-opening Florida Dodge Dealers 250, he finished sixteenth in the standings. After taking two top-fives in 2005, he rose one spot in points.

Cook won a victory at Kansas Speedway in 2006 and finished eighth in points. He left the team early in the 2006 season to replace Chad Chaffin at HT Motorsports, but at no one else funded at ppc. He had four top tens and finished 14th in points, but was forced to leave at the end of the season. He began to drive for Wyler Racing in 2008 and had seven top-tens but was eventually dropped before the season was over in favour of Jack Sprague. He returned to HT Motorsports for the remainder of the season right away. HT renumbered his truck to the #25 at the end of 2008, and Cajun Industries and Harris Trucking shared sponsorship responsibilities for the vehicle. Cook was banned from HT as a season opens. He rode the first race in the #02 Koma Unwind Chevy for Corrie Stott Racing, but was unable to find a ride for the season-ending Ford 200, snaping a streak of 296 consecutive races in the Truck Series.

Cook got off to a good start in the Nationwide Series, replacing his Truck Series appearances. (Now Phil Parsons Racing) was his first runner up. Cook ran 7 National Championships with MSRP in 2008, followed by twenty 2009 races, but failed to qualify for three events. All of Cook's Nationwide Openings were start-and-parks.

In 2010, Cook was hired to drive the #46 Dodge in the Sprint Cup Series for the newly formed Whitney Motorsports. Following RPM's conversion to Ford, Richard Petty Motorsport Dodges were purchased. Against Kevin Conway, Cook will qualify for Rookie of the Year. In 2010, the team was unable to qualify in the first four races. Cook made three starts in the #46 before struggling to qualify for seven races. After Richmond, he resigned from Whitney Motorsports. He attempted to qualify in one of Phoenix Racing's but didn't qualify.

Cook was hired as a drivers coach for Truck Series team Red Horse Racing in 2010, assassinating driver Justin Lofton. Cook began serving as the team's competition director in 2011 and continued to do so until 2014. He was hired by Truck and Xfinity Series team Athenian Motorsports in 2015 as a driver coach and spotter for drivers John Wes Townley and Dylan Lupton.

Cook is still a popular figure in the garage and among supporters.
