SABRÉ COOK Extends Top-Ten Streak at Road America Despite Race 2 Setback

August 5, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

SABRÉ COOK delivered another clutch performance at Road America, fighting through contact and chaos to secure P10 in Race 1—her third consecutive weekend with a top-ten finish. Starting P11, she immediately jumped to P9 before getting caught in a three-wide battle that dropped her to P12, then methodically worked her way back up through smart racecraft and relentless pressure on competitors ahead.
The Shift Up Now athlete has been the model of consistency this season, scoring points in every single round from her P14 season opener at Sebring through her breakthrough double P9 weekend at Montreal. Her qualifying performance at Road America—posting a 2:08.794 for P11/P12 starting spots—showed she’s finding the pace to run with the established contenders in one of the series’ most competitive fields.
Race 2 demonstrated both the promise and frustration of Cook’s season when she was running a solid P12 and applying pressure before getting tagged on the right-rear at Turn 1 with just minutes remaining, ultimately finishing P23. Meanwhile, teammate ASHLEY FREIBERG remains sidelined after crash damage from Watkins Glen forced her to halt her season prematurely—a reminder of how quickly racing fortunes can change in this unforgiving series.
