NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Racing in his 1,000th round of Pro Stock competition, Jeg Coughlin Jr. collected his 62nd Pro Stock Wally and his 81st victory in his long NHRA career on Matt Hartford’s final-round red-light.

Coughlin, who previously won the Magic Dry Organic Absorbent NHRA Arizona Nationals three times – twice in Pro Stock (2000 and 2009) and once in Super Stock (1995)  -- collected the automatic win after local favorite Hartford left .024-second too soon and triggered a foul start.

Hartford, who was racing for his second Pro Stock trophy after breaking through for the first time last year in Houston, wouldn’t have won the race even if he hadn’t fouled as his Sealed Power Camaro went into instant tire shake.
