Coughlin wearing special 50th anniversary  helmet

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Sept. 17) -- Jason Beam has been working  with Pro Stock 
ace Jeg Coughlin Jr. for several years and wanted to make a  contribution to 
JEGS 50th anniversary celebrations.

So, Beam, owner of  BEAM Designs, did what he does best, put brush to 
helmet to come up with a new  design for Coughlin, driver of the JEGS.com Chevy 
Cobalt.

"We began  researching archive photos of JEGS company and past JEGS 
sponsored cars, and  also the uniqueness of the entire Coughlin family's 
involvement in the business  and racing," Beam said. "We began piecing the images 
together and also  incorporated some elements that Jeg has liked over the years 
on his  helmets.

"With today's technology and our creative juices we were able to  portray a 
really nice piece, that we felt gave tribute to the family and JEGS  
company history."

Beam said he finished the design off with gold leaf to  tie in with JEGS 
golden anniversary. Coughlin started wearing the new helmet at  this weekend's 
NHRA National event at zMax Dragway.

"We have close to 23  hands on hours into this helmet for Jeg," Beam said. 
"I have to thank Jeg first  of all for letting us be creative, and my team 
here at the paintshop for making  this a very unique piece."
