If These Cars Could Talk...

We have plenty of special vehicles displayed in the #JEGSattic at the race shop. These vehicles range from championship cars, family cars, historical cars and some are just plain cool cars. They all have a story and we are going to take some time to start telling them from time to time.

Our kick-off car is a Chevrolet Cobalt that Jeg Coughlin Jr won back-to-back NHRA #prostock titles in 2007 & 2008. This car was built in-house at Cagnazzi racing by Todd Bevis.

This car experienced plenty of success off the track too. The car was featured on $5 & $25 chips at Palms Casino Resort, had its picture taken next to Air Force Thunderbirds and helped to promote the USA Bobsled & Skeleton and the efforts of the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project just to name a few.
