	Cody Coughlin The proven way to racing success in the Coughlin always has been a straight line -- as in the 1,320 feet of a drag strip. But third-generation racer Cody Coughlin has quickly proven his family pedigree translates well to oval tracks. At just 13 years of age, the son of drag racing champion John Coughlin and grandson of NHRA legend Jeg Coughlin Sr. already has a title to his name after winning USAC's Heavy Mod division in its .25 Midget Series in the fall of 2009.

	Jeg Coughlin III Jeg Coughlin III, or "Jeggie" as he's known to family and friends, has become a fixture at NHRA drag races whenever his school schedule allows him to travel with his five-time drag racing champion father Jeg Coughlin Jr. Jeggie has been on hand for countless winner's circle celebrations with his famous father and has even reveled in a few championship crownings as well. Although he's taken several passes down the drag strip in a Junior Dragster Read More...
	Jack Coughlin After turning 8 in April of 2009, the oldest son of drag racing champion Mike Coughlin began his drag racing by joining the Junior Dragster ranks in his JEGS.com mini rail.

Away from the racetrack, Jack excels on the baseball diamond, earning All-Star status as both a pitcher and shortstop. He also enjoys golfing with his cousins Cody and Jeggie. Read More...
	Paige Coughlin The two principle interests of Troy Coughlin Sr.'s middle daughter Paige are quite different, yet they both involve horsepower. After testing a Junior Dragster in 2009, Paige is ready for a full-scale assault on the drag strip in 2010 in her JEGS.com rail. When she's not harnessing her racecar's horsepower, Paige can most likely be found at the stables, grooming, feeding, and riding her favorite pony. Showing in interest in the arts, Paige also plays the violin and is learning several different languages. Read More...
	Kelly Coughlin Like her sister Paige, Kelly Coughlin spends most of her free time with her horse while she waits to get her shot in a JEGS.com Junior Dragster, which will come in 2010 when she turns 8 and becomes eligible for the class. Showing her famous grandfather Jeg Coughlin Sr.'s creativity, Kelly is never short of grand ideas, like helping her father Troy Coughlin Sr. design and draw the schematics for a stable to be built on the family's property in Delaware, Ohio.
	Clay Coughlin The youngest of the third generation of racing Coughlins, 5-year-old Clayalready is working on his driving skills in both a four-wheeler and a go-kart in anticipation of a fast start in Junior Dragster as soon as he's old enough to compete.

Certainly, the youngest son of drag racing champion Mike Coughlin will be a handful for his opponents from the first time he steps on the gas. Read More...
