After runner-up at last year's Seattle race, Jeg Coughlin Jr. looking to take final
step
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SEATTLE (Aug. 1) -- A highlight of Jeg Coughlin Jr.'s three-race debut with Elite
Motorsports last season was the five-time Pro Stock champion's runner-up finish 
at the NHRA stop in Seattle. At this year's 29th annual ProtectTheHarvest.com NHRA
Northwest Nationals presented by Lucas Oil, Coughlin is hoping to take his Magneti
Marelli offered by Mopar/JEGS.com Dodge Dart one step farther and end the day in
 the winner's circle.
"Our goal is to try and be a little more aggressive earlier in the weekend and give
ourselves some real momentum going into Sunday, no matter where we end up qualified,"
Coughlin said. "Quite honestly, we were never really quite there last weekend in
 Sonoma (Calif.), and in our postrace shakedown we have decided we are just going
to try to prepare a little more aggressively and take our chances.
"Both of these Dodges (Coughlin's and teammate Erica Enders' Dart) really showed
 some life two weeks ago in Denver, and we'd like to get back to those taking that
forward."
To that end, five of the team's powerplants were transported back to the shop in
 Wynnewood, Okla., so engine builders Nick Ferri and Jake Hairston can freshen them
up completely and have time for a few dyno pulls.
"We had two different groups running motors back to Oklahoma. The first left Saturday
with three engines, and Erica and Richard (Freeman, team owner) and a couple of 
the crew guys left with two more on Sunday. Jake and Nick are flying back to get
 there as quickly as possible and they'll dive right in. We have a lot to do in 
a few days time, including getting them back to the West Coast."
In the meantime, Coughlin will aim his RV north with wife Samantha, a successful
 Sportsman racer in her own right, and the couple's 1-year-old daughter, Carly.
"I get guilty of saying, as we prepare for various events, that this is one of my
favorite tracks or that's one of my favorite tracks, but you know Pacific Raceways
really is a tremendous place," said Coughlin, who won the event in 2002. "It has
 a ton of history, a ton of heritage, and the backdrop with Mt. Rainier and the 
other mountains and the pines lining the road course is just simply amazing.
"I always take time to walk around on Fridays and Saturdays and even Sunday mornings
getting ready for race day, walking the road course by myself, and you're reminded
of this track's beauty. It's a fun race. Plus, we get a lot of our friends from 
up north of the border there on the West Coast of Canada, so it's an all-around 
good time."
Pro Stock qualifying sessions are scheduled for 2:30 and 5:30 p.m., Friday, and 
1 and 4 p.m., Saturday. Eliminations start at noon, Sunday. FOX Sports 1 will air
qualifying action from 5 to 6 p.m., Friday, and 11 to 12 p.m., Saturday. FOX will
carry eliminations live from 1 to 4 p.m., Sunday. (All times listed in PT).

Jeg Coughlin Jr. is hoping to take his Magneti Marelli offered by Mopar/JEGS.com
 Dodge Dart one step farther and end the day in the winner's circle at this year's
29th annual ProtectTheHarvest.com NHRA Northwest Nationals in Seattle.
