Pontiac Pro Stock Showdown/Raceday/Finals/Feb 2

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 2, 2008- Defending POWERade champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. will head off to next weekend's NHRA season-opening 48th annual CarQuest NHRA Winternationals with an on-track victory already notched into his belt after capturing bragging rights at today's third annual Pontiac Pro Stock Showdown at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

"So far, we look pretty good," Coughlin said. "We spent the whole off season just trying to put this Chevy Cobalt back together. We went through everything, putting in all new wiring, all new plumbing, and Roy and Dave and everybody at Cagnazzi Racing did a fantastic job. We put a fresh coat of paint on the car, it looks great, runs better, and we couldn't think of a better way to start the year than by giving Chevrolet a win here in Las Vegas."
