NHRA Pro Stock driver Troy Coughlin's wife Julie is expecting at anytime. After qualifying for the NHRA Sears Craftsman Nationals Troy left St. Louis to fly home to Columbus, Ohio to be with his wife Julie.

"Family is the most important thing to me," said Troy. "It is very important to me that I am with my wife during this special time."

Troy is scheduled to fly back to St. Louis from Columbus, Ohio at 1:00 PM (EST) Saturday afternoon. If everything works as expected Troy will be back at Gateway International Raceway around 2:00 PM (Central) to participate in car preparation and the pre race ceremony.
