Jeg Coughlin is no stranger to being on top.

With 592 round wins, 58 victories and nearly two dozen career No. 1 starts, Coughlin has done it all. But as of late, those successes have been few and far between.

Mike Castellana maintained the qualifying lead and ran the quickest elapsed time in NHRA Pro Mod history during eliminations Saturday at the NHRA J&A Service Pro Mod Drag Racing Series portion of the SpringNationals at Royal Purple Raceway. This weekend’s Pro Mod racing, presented by Real Pro Mod Association, is the second of 12 events this season.

Castellana’s 5.759-second pass at 250.46 mph in his Al Anabi Racing ’17 Camaro during Friday’s qualifying sessions secured him the No. 1 qualifier. During eliminations, Castellana defeated Michael Biehle II with a national elapsed time record run of 5.722 at 251.77.

Courtney Force secured the Funny Car No. 1 qualifier Saturday at the 30th annual NHRA SpringNationals at Royal Purple Raceway.

Clay Millican (Top Fuel) and Jeg Coughlin Jr. (Pro Stock) were also No. 1 qualifiers in their respective categories at the fifth event of 24 on the 2017 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule.

When we think of Top Sportsman cars these days, the general thought process is a fast bracket car designed for efficiency at racing the clock, and against an equally determined driver in the other lane.

Phil Dion's new Jerry Bickel-built Corvette is one slick piece and takes this thought process to the next level. We've included some detailed shots including the lack of a hood scoop covering the EFI-equipped Sonny Leonard engine.

As they say, in professional competition, you need to put all distractions aside and focus on the task at hand.

But, in a sport as chaotic as drag racing, that is much easier said than done.

No one was more surprised by Friday night’s qualifying results in Houston than Clay Millican.

After a relatively slow start to the 2017 NHRA season, Millican surprised even himself with two tremendous runs to kick off the 30th annual NHRA SpringNationals, culminating with a new track record and the top spot on day one at Royal Purple Raceway.
