This weekend, in qualifying for the eighth annual NHRA Four-Wide Nationals, Coughlin used an impressive 6.578-second pass at 210.24 mph to get the job done. “Obviously to get [...]

CONCORD, N.C. — When racing impresario Bruton Smith decided to make zMax Dragway a four-lane drag racing facility, only the old-timers knew what he was talking about. For most modern-day straight-liners, it seemed a crazy novelty, but one that was certainly intriguing, especially for the racers themselves. Now, with the eighth annual NHRA Four-Wide Nationals just a few days away, six-time world champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. took a few moments to reminisce on the unique format that pits four cars burning down the quarter-mile strip [...]

HOUSTON, TX — While admitting he wanted this victory a little more than usual, Jeg Coughlin Jr. was still very satisfied with his runner-up finish Sunday at the 30th annual NHRA Spring Nationals at Royal Purple Raceway. Racing in his 101st career final, Coughlin took on good friend Bo Butner for the trophy. When the lights flashed, both men left with identical .061-second reaction times with Butner managing to inch away at each incremental timer for a slight 6.550 to 6.562-second win.

HOUSTON, TX — Jeg Coughlin Jr. may have raced to six world titles but he’s never really been known for collecting a lot of top qualifier honors through the years.

LAS VEGAS, NV — Not every driver in the Pro Stock category managed to make it down The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway during Friday night qualifying, but those that did made an impact. Jeg Coughlin Jr. was one of the fortunate ones who made a pass just after NHRA officials decided to spray the racing surface and his impressive 6.652 at 206.92 mph in the JEGS.com/Elite Performance Chevrolet Camaro was enough to place him a season-best second on the elimination grid. “We had [...]

GAINESVILLE, FL — Jeg Coughlin Jr. was expecting big things from his JEGS.com/Elite Performance Chevrolet Camaro Sunday at the 48th annual Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals, but perhaps his tune-up was a little too aggressive as he overpowered the racing surface in the quarterfinals and lost to Greg Anderson. “Looks like we had way too much power for the track and the conditions,” Coughlin said. “We certainly didn’t expect that. We fought some issues in Q4 and came back in E1 and had a similar [...]
