Amy East Cook, wife to Terry Cook, driver of the #10 Ford Power Stroke Diesel by International race truck, gave birth Friday [Dec 3rd] to a healthy baby boy. Cody Robert Cook was born at 4:16am/et at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, weighing in at 6 lbs., 10 oz. “What an experience to becoming a father,” said Cook. “Amy and Cody are resting this afternoon in the hospital and are doing well. Cody will be going to his first race at Daytona next year and what a place to bring him to his first race. I can remember my parents taking me to Daytona for Speed Weeks when I was a young so you can say the Cook tradition will continue. You never know, my son just may turn out to be a third generation driver someday.”
“This is what we wanted,” said East Cook. “Terry and I have been trying to have a family for two years and we finally have our new addition. This is a dream come true.” East Cook currently works as a broadcaster for ESPN covering various motorsports series. She was employed as a pit reporter from 1999 thru 2002 with ESPN in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series while Cook competed as a race car driver. The two began dating after meeting at Homestead-Miami (Fla.) Speedway; Cook later proposed the following year and married Amy East on December 6, 2000.(PR)(12-5-2004)
