Three-time NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series Pro Stock world champion Jeg
Coughlin has filed an entry for The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s Nov.
22-25 Bracket Nationals. Jegs, a leading high-performance parts distributor
(www.jegs.com) founded by Coughlin’s father, Jeg Sr., will contribute gift
certificates for the event.
"I will be driving two dragsters -- my brother John’s Division 3 Top Sportsman-winning car and my 2006 Mullis dragster that I raced in 2006 while not in the POWERade Drag Racing Series," Coughlin said. "I entered the race because I haven’t bracket raced all season due to the POWERade schedule, and I was unable to make the trip to Florida after the season finale due to work. I found that LVMS was putting on a host of big-money races, including what could be a $64,000 race [Saturday’s winner-take-all Ultimate Gambler], throughout the holiday weekend and decided to come try my luck."

In 1997, Coughlin set an NHRA record by winning national events in four classes: Super Gas, Super Stock, Comp, and Pro Stock. The 37-year-old father of Jeg III won NHRA Pro Stock titles in 2000, 2002, and 2007.
Coughlin is not the lone NHRA luminary on the Bracket Nationals entry list: fellow Pro Stocker Dave Connolly also has thrown his helmet into the ring.
Jegs will award a $300 gift certificate to the Super Pro winner each day. The Pro class winner will receive a $200 Jegs gift certificate each day. The Sportsman daily class winner will win a $100 Jegs gift certificate, and the weekend’s Geezer Gambler winner will receive $100 in Jegs merchandise.
