Arnout Kok (born February 28, 1977) is a South African professional stock car racing driver. He last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the Nos. 01/10 Toyota for Fast Track Racing.
Early racing career
K&N Pro Series West
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
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-ten 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 No. 01 Toyota in the 2022 Dutch Boy 150, but did not start. He was credited in the nineteenth position. Kok returned to Mid-Ohio in 2022 once again driving Fast Track Racing’s No. 10 Toyota. He started seventeenth and finished the race in fourteenth while four 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]
