JEGS SPORTSnationals set for first stop at historic New England Dragway
Just weeks after the successful conclusion of JEGS Speedweek at National Trail Raceway, the popular JEGS SPORTSnationals will make its first stop in the Northeast this Thursday-Sunday at historic New England Dragway.
The event, which will be run in conjunction with an NHRA Division 1 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event, will crown champions in eight different classes: Comp, Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Top Dragster, and Top Sportsman. Established in 1974 at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Ky., the SPORTSnationals has become a popular showcase for NHRA's best sportsman drag racers. Over the last 46 years, the event has made stops in Denver, Indianapolis, Houston, Las Vegas, Fontana, Calif., Hebron, Ohio, and Belle Rose, La.
At the recent JEGS Speedweek race at National Trail Raceway, sportsman star Anthony Bertozzi made history by winning a record fifth JEGS SPORTSnationals title. Bertozzi won the Top Dragster title by beating the JEGS.com dragster of Mike Coughlin in the final.
Bertozzi and Coughlin are both expected to be among the leading contenders in Epping as they continue their battle for the national championship in the Vortech Superchargers Top Dragster division.
Bertozzi is the current points leader in Top Dragster while Coughlin is ranked 25th, despite having attended just one national event so far.
"I've never been to New England Dragway but I'm really looking forward to it," Coughlin said. "I've been told it's a nostalgic place, an old-school track, and I really enjoy those kind of places. I also know there are a lot of great restaurants and great seafood in that part of the country."
The Northeast Division is home to a number of past JEGS SPORTSnationals winners including 104-time national event winner Dan Fletcher, multi-time divisional Super Gas champ Mike Sawyer, and Steve Szupka.
Much like the other JEGS SPORTSnationals races, the Epping event is expected to feature the same mixture of fierce on-track competition, and friendly off-track camaraderie.
