Chris Cook on David

Jess

If I didn't already like Chris Cook from listening to him on David's radio last weekend, I really like him now after reading this article!

He wasn't shy when speaking about David's talent. "David has been an incredible driver to coach and one that I have great respect for ... one of the very best talents in the country. It is an honor to work with him and his MWR crew." He acknowledged David's trouble at Infineon but is confident that he will improve his road course racing in time. "Infineon Raceway is an extremely demanding technical track and David is an incredibly gifted driver, but has little road racing experience. With a bit more time he will have a chance to win at every road course." He also used the words "professional" and "brilliant" to describe Ryan Pemberton and the team.

When the Cup race is at Pocono in August and the Nationwide race is up at Montreal, Chris will be practicing and qualifying the Aaron's Dream Machine for David, as well.

It really goes to show what kind of person David is. Chris has trained and coached many drivers but it says something when he'll go the extra mile for David. He was a good calm voice over the radio and I look forward to his additional help.
