Moments in JEGS 50-Years / Jeg wins 2000 NHRA Pro Stock championship

Jeg wins 2000 NHRA Pro Stock  championship 
_www.jegs50years.com_ (http://www.jegs50years.com/)  
Jeg Coughlin Jr. earned the title of  best Pro Stock driver of the "aughts" 
after the easy-going Ohioan collected four  world titles in the first 
decade of the millennium.  
It all started in Y2K when, in just  his third year in the drag racing's 
toughest category, Coughlin put up stats  rarely seen in the sport -- 10 
victories in 14 final-round appearances and four  No. 1 qualifiers -- while 
leading the championship points from  wire-to-wire. 
Wins came early in Pomona and Phoenix,  throughout the spring in Vegas, 
Houston, and  Richmond, into the summer in Atlanta and Englishtown, and on to 
the fall in Indianapolis, Topeka, and  Memphis.  Coughlin was simply 
untouchable all year long and celebrated at the end of the  year with his first 
professional-level world title.
