POMONA, CA -- The 2016 season came to a quiet end for five-time Pro Stock champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. as the 76-time national event winner bowed to Elite Motorsports teammate Vincent Nobile in Sunday's first round of the 52nd annual Auto Club NHRA Finals at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona. Coughlin put up a fight, matching Nobile's sharp .025-second reaction time and racing him door-handle-to-door-handle most of the way down the strip, but in the end it was Nobile's 6.600 at 209.95 mph that put [...]

But despite the quick launch and the early lead it provided, Coughlin's Magneti Marelli offered by Mopar/JEGS.com [...]
