READING, PA -- With rain erasing three of the four scheduled qualifying sessions at this weekend's 32nd annual Dodge NHRA Nationals, the one pass drivers got down Maple Grove Raceway was literally a make-or-break run.

"I almost went over," Coughlin said of his pass down a very green racing surface. "Obviously [...]

ST. LOUIS, MO -- Jeg Coughlin Jr. won the Pro Stock race here in 2002 and 2009, but he couldn't cure his seven-year itch at the 2016 AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals on Sunday at Gateway Motorsports Park.

Neither driver was very good on the Christmas Tree, but McGaha was a tick better on the racetrack: 6.632 seconds at 208.46 mph to 6.667 at 206.70 [...]
