March 24, 2001Team Jeg's Pro Stock Truck driver John Coughlin will be absent from the action at the NHRA O'Reilly Nationals this weekend.
"I decided to stay home and help out my wife," said John. "My wife gave birth to our little girl 10 days ago. My wife and son have the flu and as you can expect she can use all the help she can get with our young new addition Kennedy. Family has always been the top priority for everyone involved with Team Jeg's."
Mike Coughlin will be the sole representative for Team Jeg's in the Pro Stock Truck class this weekend. Last year Troy Coughlin left St. Louis to return home after being qualified to assist his wife Julie with the birth of their daughter Paige.
