Jeg Coughlin Jr. will join veteran racer Allen Johnson as the only two drivers in the Pro Stock class directly sponsored by Mopar. "Jeg Jr. is a proven winner, with four Pro Stock championships on his résumé," said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar Brand - Chrysler Group LLC, "We are thrilled to add an elite driver to Team Mopar, and we look forward to sharing in his great success at the drag strip next season." "I'm extremely excited to join forces with Mopar in 2012," said Jeg Jr., the only racer in the history of the NHRA to win a national event in six different classes. "The entire Coughlin Brothers Racing team has high expectations for the 2012 season and we expect to field a premier program with our Mopar/JEGS.com Dodge Avenger team, from top to bottom." Less

Nov 18, 2012 - Now that these Hemis are dominating pro stock....NHRA changes the rules to small 358 inch engines for next year. Typical anti Mopar action!

May 19, 2012 - I haven't kept up with prostock for years.Are these hemi prostock cars still required to run extra weight than their competitors?I remeber after sox&martin won the 1st 2 prostock titles in 70' and 71' handily they were severly factored out by some weight break rules.If I recall wally parks or some other founder/cofounder was on their deathbed and apologized to mopar fans/racers everywhere for doing that.Since they were so blatantly factored out.Cool to see there's some hemis in prostock again.

May 7, 2012 - I have always loved Jeg Coughlin and then when he made the smart choice to drive a Mopar he is number 1!

Mar 7, 2012 - Geez. You "foreign-owned" whiners are pathetic. Chrysler is primarily owned by the UAW. That is worse than being Fiat-owned. Having the same people who are killing the industry rewarded with ownership that was stolen by the most corrupt President in history is FAR worse than having the company who owns Ferrari legally buying a piece. The V8 rear wheel drive cars staying and the new Viper is awesome. Jeg is no fool. He would not get into a car unless he knew he had a legitimate shot at winning.

Feb 29, 2012 - Jeg's crew has some work to do with the new ride. Power is down from the class front runners. Jeg's great driving helped him at the Winternationals but that can only carry him so far. They will have to get in the performance ballpark with the Pontiac's soon to be Camaro's to get him where he is use to being. Since the Hemi cars have won very little in the last decade his team will have to find something the other Mopar guys haven't or it will be a long season.

Feb 17, 2012 - This car is the truth!

Feb 11, 2012 - I agree with you! it was a cold water bath for Mopar fanatics and who has v8s like me too!
Don Edmonds Says:
Feb 11, 2012 - At the moment Fiat owns 35% of Chrysler with Chrysler's pension fund owning a majority with the Governments of the U S and Canada owning the rest.. Fiat intends on becoming the majority stock holder in the near future e when they start building the Fiat 500 in Michigan. All though I'm a Chevy guy I do like the old Mopars, but I'm out on this new age foreign owned crap
dart68gts Says:
Feb 11, 2012 - not completely! only some part...
Don Edmonds Says:
Feb 11, 2012 - Fiat owns Mopar now in case you haven't been keeping up.
kaleibob Says:
Feb 11, 2012 - huh?
Don Edmonds Says:
Feb 10, 2012 - Sorry to see Jeggy go with MOPAR after GM brought him his many wins. Looks like I will be changing where I shop to Summit Racing from here on out as I cannot support Jeggy in a foreign owned brand.
DrJoeMiskin Says:
Feb 10, 2012 - Jeg's the best. Good he's back in Mopar!
