Jeg Coughlin Jr. hoping to ride tall
in the saddle once again in Dallas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DALLAS (Oct. 11) -- There are a couple of unique benefits to winning the annual
AAA Texas NHRA Fallnationals at Texas Motorplex, the all-concrete drag strip just
south of Dallas in Ennis, Texas. First, track owner Billy Myer, a former drag racer
himself, adds a special engraved brick with the champion's name in the winner's
circle. Secondly, each victor gets a commemorative cowboy hat to remind them they
scored a big victory deep in the heart of Texas.
"Texans are very unique and proud people and the fans that come out to the drag
races, both in Dallas and down in Houston, are some of the friendliest and fun-loving
folks we encounter each year," Coughlin said. "It's always a hoot to head south
and race for those appreciative fans.
"Billy knows what it feels like to win from his days as a Funny Car driver and he
makes extra special to win at his track. I was fortunate enough to win there back
in 2002 and I remember being very excited to return to the Motorplex the following
year to see my brick in the winner's circle. It's just kind of a cool deal to see
your name up there next to so many drag racing greats. And having it on a brick
makes it permanent."
Jeg Coughlin Jr. was winner in Dallas in 2002.
Coughlin, who hails from Delaware, Ohio, would love to add to his Texas legacy this
time through but he knows it'll be a tall task considering the competition.
"Everyone in the field of the Countdown to the Championship is racing well, especially
those guys at KB Racing," he said, referencing points leader Jason Line and his
teammate, second-ranked Greg Anderson. "We've had a transitional year switching
to the Dodge Darts and we're not in the fight for the championship per se, but we're
still hoping to help our teammate Vincent Nobile get in there."
Together with back-to-back and reigning Pro Stock champion Erica Enders, who drives
the Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge Dart, Coughlin and his Magneti Marelli offered
by Mopar/JEGS.com Dodge Dart crew are doing all they can to support the third pro
on the Elite Motorsports team, Nobile, who currently is a lofty third in the points.
"Vincent is getting hot at the perfect time," Coughlin said. "He's coming off a
big win in Reading (Pa.) and if there's a way to help him out by knocking off the
frontrunners, than we'll sure give it our best effort," Coughlin said. "At the same
time, we'll continue to race as hard as possible to get some glory for our car and
our supporters as we finish out the season."
In addition to his Pro Stock efforts, Coughlin will be racing a JEGS.com-branded
Super Comp dragster alongside his nephew Troy Coughlin Jr., who will compete in
Super Gas in the JEGS.com Corvette Roadster.
Pro Stock qualifying sessions are scheduled for 4:15 and 7:15 p.m., Friday, and
12:45 and 3:45 p.m., Saturday. Eliminations start at noon, Sunday. FOX Sports 1
will broadcast qualifying action live from 7:30-8:30 p.m., Friday. Eliminations
will air live from 2-5 p.m., Sunday. (All times listed in ET).
