EPPING, NH — Six-time world champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. had the quicker car Sunday at the fifth annual NHRA New England Nationals, but the 76-time national event winner lost to teammate Vincent Nobile by .0042 seconds, ending his day in the opening round of eliminations. The difference came at the starting line when Nobile launched first by .032 seconds. That slight lead was enough to put his Mountain View Tires Chevrolet Camaro out front for good, despite Coughlin closing the gap at every timing interval [...]

TOPEKA, KS — Six-time drag racing champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. reached another incredible milestone Sunday by winning his 600th elimination round en route to his second runner-up finish of the 2017 season.

TOPEKA, KS — Two-time world champion Erica Enders was hoping for more from the 29th annual Menards NHRA Heartland Nationals presented by Minties, but her usually reliable Elite Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro encountered some severe tire shake just off the launch pad in her opening-round race against teammate Vincent Nobile, resulting in a loss. After qualifying 7-8 on the elimination ladder, Enders and Nobile knew they would likely have a very close race. As expected, the two experts reacted to the starting lights within one-thousandth of [...]

COMMERCE, GA — It may be too early to say Erica Enders is completely back to the championship form that carried her to back-to-back world titles in 2014 and 2015, but she certainly seems to be trending in the right direction. That seems to be the general sentiment after her impressive runner-up finish Sunday at the 37th annual Lucas Oil NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway, which was highlighted by a pair of Enders’ trademark holeshot wins. “It should have been three holeshot wins today [...]

COMMERCE, GA — Jeg Coughlin Jr. has won five Pro Stock championships in the past so he knows what it takes to win drag racing’s ultimate prize. That knowledge includes the fact that you can’t win every race, so it’s what you do in between victories that can make a big difference. That’s why the 58-time national event winner was so pleased with his weekend in Atlanta after a strong semifinal finish in his JEGS.com/Elite Performance Chevrolet Camaro at the 37th annual Lucas Oil NHRA [...]

CONCORD, N.C. — Jeg Coughlin Jr. posted the quickest pass of the eighth annual NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in the opening round of Sunday’s eliminations but it was all for naught after a strange starting line miscue caused him to leave more than half a second after his three opponents. Jeg Jr. with dad Jeg Coughlin, Sr. “I’m not really upset,” Coughlin said. “It’s just the complexity of the four-wide format. The staging procedure is extremely important and once all four of us were pre-staged I [...]

CONCORD, N.C. — Erica Enders never got a chance to flex the horsepower of her Elite Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro Sunday at zMax Dragway because she was timed-out at the starting line after taking too long to stage. It’s one of the hazards of the annual NHRA Four-Wide Nationals and every year someone seems to get bit. “For Jeg and I to qualify 1-2 on the ladder, run the kind of numbers we have run here, I would have bet the house that we’d be fighting [...]

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.
