When the Pro Stock Truck category was introduced as a professional class in 
 1998, Mike Coughlin saw it as a perfect opportunity for him to compete in 
a  unique professional category where he could benefit from his extensive  
experience as a sportsman racer.
 
In 1999, his dream of winning an NHRA national event as a Pro became  
reality as he powered his way to the winner's circle in Englishtown, NJ in his  
yellow and black Chevy S-10 pickup. After defeating Randy Daniels in round 
one,  Mark Osborne in round 2, and Brad Jeter in the semi-finals. Mike took of 
veteran  Tim Freeman in the payoff round and got the winlight for his first 
NHRA national  event title as a Pro, and would go on to finish fourth in 
the 1999 NHRA Pro  Stock Truck points standings.
