DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Jerry Cook never intended to support his family driving a modified stock car. It kind of snuck up on the young resident of Rome, N.Y.
Cook, who built his first modified at the age of 13, took the wheel by happenstance, when his hired driver wrecked two of the race cars he owned. That was in 1963, well before Cook won his first of six NASCAR modified championships.
But Cook soon discovered he had a knack for winning races – and finishing well enough to cash a decent check when he didn’t.
