Coughlin posts round two finish in Pontiac Pro Stock  Showdown
 
LAS VEGAS (Feb. 3) – Jeg Coughlin drove the Slammers Ultimate Milk/Jegs.com  
Cobalt to a round two finish during today’s Pontiac Pro Stock Showdown at The  
Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The three-time NHRA world champion 
qualified  13th in the 16-car field with a 6.732 elapsed time and defeated No. 4 
qualifier  Ken Koretsky in the opening round before losing a close race against 
Jim Yates,  6.73 to 6.76. 

“We've got plenty of horsepower but  we're missing our set-up just a little 
bit,�?? said Coughlin. “We're steadily  making progress but were not exactly 
where we want to be just yet. We've got our  work cut out for us since the roll 
call for Pomona begins in less than a week.  I'm not disappointed though. Our 
primary goal this weekend was to make some runs  and learn how to tune this 
car. Once we're able to consistently get the  horsepower to the ground, we're 
going to have one fast hot rod.�??

Coughlin also had a chance to make several runs in his brother John’s  
Jegs.com Chevy Cavalier Super Stock racer. Racing on an index of 10.00-seconds,  
Coughlin made numerous runs in the 8.8-second range at over 150-mph. Coughlin  
plans to race in both Pro Stock and Super Stock at next week’s season opening  
Carquest Winternationals in Pomona, where he will attempt to be just the ninth  
driver to win two eliminator titles at the same race. 

“We made a few minor adjustments to this car and it appears to be responding  
very well,�?? said Coughlin, who drove the car to a win at the 2003 St. Louis  
event, his last Super Stock victory. “It has been a very competitive car for a 
 number of years and I'm really looking forward to racing it in at a few 
races  this season.�??
