[edit]In 2018, Kok was initially signed to run with Obaika Racing for one race at the 2018 Star Nursery 100. While the team had promised Kok to have a race-ready car before the event, the car did not turn up to the event and eventually, the team withdrew in a press statement.[1] While the team reportedly said that they would try and find Kok another ride to race in the series, he would never run a race in the series.
ARCA Menards Series
[edit]
In 2021, Kok was signed to run the 2021 Dawn 150 with Fast Track Racing, finally making his American debut after being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] He would finish well, getting a top 10 in his first ever start. He would attempt three more races that year, with considerably worse results, including a "did not start" at the 2021 Sprecher 150 due to engine issues.[3]
Kok returned to Fast Track Racing for the 2022 season on a part-time basis. He was scheduled to drive for the team in the #01 Toyota in the 2022 Dutch Boy 150, but did not start. He was credited in the 19th position. Kok returned to Mid-Ohio in 2022 once again driving Fast Track Racing’s #10 Toyota. He started 17th and finished the race in 14th while 4 laps down. This was Kok’s best and final finish in the 2022 ARCA Menards Series. He would end the season with a 59th place points finish.[4]
