Troy Coughlin Jr. is ready for the ultimate test of his drag racing skills with his first national event in a Top Fuel dragster at this weekend's NHRA Winternationals in Pomona. The third-generation driver has succeeded in every class he's raced, but even he admits the challenges of piloting the 10,000-horsepower SealMaster rail are daunting.

"I'm completely humbled," Coughlin said after three days of testing in the Arizona desert. "It's just so fast. Everything comes at you so quickly in the seat. It's much more intense than I ever imagined. This is one aggressive racecar, and it never stops accelerating during the run. It's a beast, and it's also very, very cool."

Coughlin's young skills were put to the test during Friday's testing at Nitro Spring Training. As you can see, he pulled off an incredible 320-mph save at the Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park finish line.
