ENGLISHTOWN, N.J.

ENGLISHTOWN, NJ – Jeg Coughlin Jr.'s first-round victory at the NHRA Summernationals on Sunday at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park was bittersweet.

"We knew one of us was going to prevail [...]

ENGLISHTOWN, NJ -- Jeg Coughlin Jr. has been around drag racing his entire life and has won enough Pro Stock races (58) and championships (five) to place himself among the top 10 drivers in the sport, so he knows well that fortunes can swing back and forth at a moment's notice. That's why the veteran racer keeps his emotions on an even keel, especially when his Magneti Marelli offered by Mopar/JEGS.com Dodge Dart isn't performing at its peak. "We've had some encouraging signs the last [...]
