One trophy in hand, Jeg sets sights on another Wally (NHRA)

One trophy in hand, Jeg sets  sights on another Wally 
PHOENIX (Feb. 24) -- Even if the 23rd  annual CSK Nationals ended right now, 
Jeg  Coughlin's weekend in the Arizona desert would already be  considered an 
unqualified success. Coughlin opened Saturday's racing action with  a win over 
a red-lighting Pete Kost, which awarded him the Super Stock  C-Modified class 
trophy for this event. The three-time world champion is now  locked in on 
collecting one more trophy at Firebird International  Raceway. 
"One down," Coughlin said after  qualifying No. 4 for the main event in his 
JEGS.com Chevrolet Cavalier. "Super  Stock takes a lot of consistency and a lot 
of patience. The boys have given me a  very consistent car, as usual. Now I 
need to be patient and work my way through  the elimination rounds. 
In the sudden-death rounds, Coughlin  quickly advanced past Rich Pinoski with 
a 6.82-second run on a 6.81-second  dial-in. Later Saturday night his ride in 
Super Stock ended with a  loss. 
The other trophy on Coughlin's to-do  list will be up for grabs Sunday in the 
Pro Stock class where the 47-time  national event winner will begin his quest 
for his second Phoenix pro-level title  from the No. 10 position after 
running a best of 6.667 in qualifying his  Slammers Ultimate Milk Chevrolet Cobalt. 
"We made a decent run in the final  qualifying session," said Coughlin.  
"Making a solid run in the final qualifying session always helps the  confidence 
level of a team going into race day."    
Coughlin will open Sunday's Pro Stock  quest against No. 7 qualifier Kurt 
Johnson, who posted a 6.658 in  qualifying. 
Sunday's professional action begins at  11 a.m. MST.
