LAS VEGAS, NV -- After qualifying behind first-round opponent Alex Laughlin for the eliminations of Sunday's 16th annual NHRA Toyota Nationals, Jeg Coughlin Jr. knew he needed every advantage he could get to pull off a win.

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