Who will drive the Jegs Drag Pac Challenger? If Jeggie drives, how will it affect his relationship with Cagnazzi and GM? Inquiring minds want to know.

Ben??

doesnt jeggie or troy or mike have kids that are old enough to drive something now?

maybe its next generation?

Jegggie has a boy IIRC Jegg jr...but he probably is only 10-12..what a lucky boy he is hu?

I didn't know that Jegs even got one. Well, I am not totally surprised....

I had heard that Jeg was one of the first to order. I bet he would be tough to beat in the sportsman ranks with it.

Yep with his ability to mow over a tree he would be hard to beat. I would love to see his car, and Garlits car going down the strip together...

He has driven the hemi SS/AA cars at indy while racing for GM hasnt he?

He drove Harry Holton's Cuda the year he was driving Shumacher's Stratus. The next year he drove it again, but had to get special "permission" from GM to do so.

There are plenty of Coughlins to go around. Mike or John would be my guess.

Troy's son, Troy Jr has been racing a dragster.

I think which ever Coughlin drives, it will be an awesome car and do very well.

Just my

GM dropped their sponsorship with Cagnazzi, Anderson and everybody else. Why would anyone be bothered by Jeg driving a sportsman car, Dodge or otherwise?

It would be a good time for Dodge to throw some money their way.

Watch for the Cagnazzi group to go to Ford. In a year or so if GM does not pony up some $$. He has the $$$ but GM is not doing anything to really "help" them. The DRCE block and heads are old tech now and the DRCE2 stuff they hated. The DRCE3 is being birthed but it is a $$ issue, then the R&D to get it up and running.

Jeg bought and paid for the Challenger. He also helped during the later stages of factory testing.

The GM is/was somebody else's car that Jeg drove, and otherwise didn't have any investment in.

Seems like a big difference there

Don't look for Dodge to be handing out any money anytime soon.

You know Zippy, I honestly believe that Dodge might be even better served to maintain the one PS effort (AJ) and focus even more on the new Drag Pak Challengers, as well as the many other Stock/SS racers who are committed to Mopar and have been for many years.

Although I appreciate the technology in Pro Stock racing, they have "evolved" into gas burning funny cars, all cookie cutter and all running the same. IF they would run real versions of real cars in Pro Stock...Challys, Mustangs, Camaros, etc., they might even get some billing.

YES, Yes & Yes!!!

Jeg is a business man and although committed to racing I really dont think he cares too much what he is driving, he just can flat out drive.

His bracket cars, what brand are they? What motors? Last I knew they were all Chevy's. Not that it matters to me.

I like the guy, heard great things about him while he is bracket racing too. Never crossed paths with him.

Guys who love to race for the most part could care less what make is on the car. Now is a car company cuts a guy a breaka nd really helps, yes I can see some brand loyalty. see Tony Stewart. GM had just given him big $$ for his sprint and Midget programs and because he is signed with JG Racing he has to move to turd(TRD) But bailed back to GM ASAP. He could have gone anywhere.
