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. Jack tested the wheels off his racecar in anticipation of a full schedule of regional races in 2010 and is primed and ready to become the next third-generation Coughlin to visit the winner's circle. 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.
