Jeg Coughlin Jr., a 52-time Pro Stock winner, is looking forward to the looming Winternationals—and with good reason. In a recent test session in Bradenton, Florida, Coughlin set a new personal best—with ETs in the 6.40s, hovering around 213 mph. 

With the help of new teammate Allen Johnson, he’s zoned in on key changes that have proven effective for Johnson, the reigning series champion, in the past. At this point, the teammates cars are nearly identical.

“The multi-car concept has worked so well over the last several years and we want to do all we can to help one another win races for Mopar. Allen set the gold standard last year. He won seven races and was low qualifier 10 times en route to winning the championship, so obviously they had their car and horsepower dialed in perfectly. We hope to emulate their success.” Coughlin said.

Coughlin’s personal record comes right on the heels of Greg Anderson’s unofficial record 6.46 elapsed time at the same track last week, and it looks like the 6.40 are the place to be for Pro Stock racers this season.

Fans and racers are starting to feel the excitement—and with the competition heating up heading into next month’s Winternationals, Pro Stock just might be the class to watch.
