Five-time Pro Stock champ Jeg Coughlin Jr. already thinking about next season

POMONA, CA — Jeg Coughlin Jr. had his hands full Sunday, both in beating first-round opponent Matt Hartford and again in a quarterfinal defeat to Bo Butner as his JEGS.com/Elite Performance Chevrolet Camaro seemed a bit unhappy all day.

POMONA, CA — Proving the noticeable uptick in performance he enjoyed two weeks ago in Las Vegas wasn’t an anomaly, five-time Pro Stock world champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. earned his best starting spot since grabbing the pole in Bristol, Tenn., Saturday at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona. The strong effort of 6.558 at 209.46 mph in the JEGS.com/Elite Performance Chevrolet Camaro puts Coughlin in one of the favored positions to perhaps claim a seventh trophy at this historic facility. He’ll get his first test against [...]

Expired engine ends Erica Enders weekend in opening round of Toyota Nationals

LAS VEGAS, NV — It doesn’t happen often for Erica Enders and her Elite Performance race team but an expiring engine ended the six-time Vegas champion’s day in the opening round of competition. “As hard as we push these motors it’s actually surprising it doesn’t happen more often but we got bit today and that ended our race,” Enders said. “We’ll be fine. It’s an easy fix and we have lots of spares so we’ll be prepared for Pomona, no problem.” Had the motor survived [...]
