In 2004, Cobb made her NASCAR debut in the Busch Series at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

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. 14 (which would also close down early in the season).

Cobb kept the same truck number and owner points from Circle Bar.

For 2011, Cobb continued racing her own No. 10 truck full-time in the Camping World Truck Series, and also drove the first 5 races in the Nationwide Series in the No. 79 for 2nd Chance Motorsports.

On the truck side, Cobb became the highest finishing female in Truck Series history by finishing 6th at the 2011 NextEra Energy Resources 250.

Cobb later gave her truck's owners points to Chase Mattioli and his team while she also started her own driver development program with Cody Cambensy planning to drive in the Truck Series in 2011.

In 2012 Cobb ran the entire Camping World Truck Series schedule in the No. 10, along with selected Nationwide Series races in the No. 13.

Cobb was the first driver penalized by NASCAR under the no cell phone rule since it was implemented following the 2012 Daytona 500.

She returned to the Camping World Truck Series for 2013.

For the 2014 season, Cobb again ran in the Truck Series in her own No. 10 Chevrolet Silverado.

Cobb also ran one race in the No. 87 car for Rick Ware Racing at the Kansas Lottery 300 finishing 24th, which was her first Nationwide Series start of 2014.

On May 29, 2015, Cobb angrily approached the race car driven by Tyler Reddick on foot after apparently by being spun out by Reddick's truck at the Lucas Oil 200.

It was expected that Cobb would be the first driver penalized under the new NASCAR rule instituted after Kevin Ward Jr. died in a similar incident.

She wound up receiving a $5,000 fine from the officials.

During practice for the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 250 at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Cobb crashed and was subsequently caught on camera removing a cell phone from her truck.

Cobb was given a P3 penalty by NASCAR for having a non-engine electronic component in her truck.

As a result, Cobb was fined $5,000, plus an additional $2,500 for an infraction occurring while still on probation for the incident with Reddick.

However, since that 16th-place finish, the team has seen a decline in performance as they have only managed to eclipse a best of 20th on three occasions (Dover, Kentucky, and Michigan).

Also that year, Cobb became the highest female points finisher in history in any of the three major NASCAR Series to that time, achieving 17th place.

In 2018, Cobb joined Racing Total for her NASCAR Whelen Euro Series debut at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia.

She would hold this record for nine years, when Natalie Decker broke the record with a fifth-place finish, also at the season-opening Daytona race, in 2020.
