Due to issues going through tech at Richmond, Jennifer Jo Cobb will not be competing in her No. 13 Driver Boutique.com Ford, lead by crew chief Steve Kuykendall, in tonight's Bubba Burger 250.

She sent out this tweet this morning, "Very bad news coming. This is the toughest year of my life. I promise I will persevere. I know God has a plan." I contacted her PR representative for a statement in regards to the issues Cobb had encountered and she declined. She stated that Cobb will make her statement on Twitter. However, she continued to advise me that they are looking forward to the next race and that they will be back.

After 3 p.m. ET, Cobb tweeted, "Car just wasn't quite ready to be competitive. We are all hungry for some good results so back to NC to see what we can do for Darlington. #nevergiveup"

Cobb had previously mentioned that she was relieved to be moving back to her own team in high hopes of stability and consistency for the remainder of the season.

Cobb was to make her sixth Nationwide Series start this weekend and is currently 29th in points.
