Racing at the most hallowed drag strip in
the world, O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis, Team JEGS drivers John and
Mike Coughlin completed one of their most memorable weekends as they each
claimed victories during this weekend’s North Central Division Lucas Oil Drag
Racing Series season-opener. Mike claimed a win in the Dart Top Sportsman class
and a few minutes later, John joined his younger brother in the winner’s circle
by taking the Super Stock title.
“Anytime you win a race it’s a great feeling, but to have your brother win
on the same day makes it even more rewarding and exciting,” said Mike, who is
the reigning Division 3 Dart Top Sportsman Series champion. “As soon as I got
out of my car after the final, my first thought was to find someplace where I
could watch John’s final round. Thankfully, it all worked out for both of us.
What a fantastic way to start the season.”
