From Dirt Bikes to Porsche Carrera Cup: Sabré & Stacey Cook's Racing Family History

What happens when a Hall of Fame motocross rider raises a mechanical engineer who wants to drive race cars for a living? You get the ultimate father-daughter racing duo. This week on To All The Cars I’ve Loved Before, we are sitting down with Sabré Cook—professional driver for JDX Racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America—and her dad, Stacey Cook, a former professional motocross rider who was inducted into the Colorado Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2023. We dive deep into the Cook family's high-octane history. Stacey shares his incredible journey from racing an $800, 200,000-mile Datsun pickup across Colorado with dirt bikes in the back, to the terrifying realization of watching his own daughter speed past him in a formula car. Sabré discusses her disciplined path to the driver’s seat (which required straight A’s just to get a Chevy Equinox!), her ultimate goal to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and why she believes a $2 Million Porsche 911 DLS Singer is the absolute dream car. Whether you want to get into track days yourself or just love a heartwarming story about a father who supported his daughter's drive to the top, this episode is packed with life lessons, laughs, and serious horsepower.
