Moments in JEGS 50-years / Troy conquers the best of the best with Big Dog win

Troy conquers the best of the best with $50,000 'Big Dog' win

National event wins and world championships are the epitome of drag racing  
success, but ask any Sportsman driver which individual race they want to 
win the  most and they will point to the annual Big Dog Challenge.

The special  event for the top Sportsman racers in the country pays a 
whopping $50,000 to the  winner, a top prize that exceeds that of any single race 
in the sport. As one  might imagine, the huge payout brings out the very 
best in the racers, which  makes winning the big check one of the hardest 
things to accomplish.

In  2005, decorated Pro Stock and Pro Mod veteran Troy Coughlin Sr., a 
world  champion himself, took his hot rod to Piedmont Dragway in North Carolina 
and  managed to survive the most grueling day of his career to top the sport 
and earn  the $50,000 "Big Dog" title. Among all of his accomplishments on 
the drag strip,  Coughlin still counts this particular win as the best of 
his  career.
