The Races
Cody Coughlin has two races this weekend on Friday and Saturday night. On Friday he’s in the Super Late Model looking for his fourth ARCA/CRA Super Series win of the year and first at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Raceway.
On Saturday Coughlin heads back to Anderson Speedway, but this time in the Pro Late Model with the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour. Coughlin won at Anderson earlier this year, but that was in the Super. Coughlin leads the points standings in both series and has one win on the Pro Late Model Tour.
The Last Race
Coughlin is coming off of a solid top-20 finish at Eldora Speedway in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Coughlin ran in the top 10 for much of the feature after winning the Last Chance Qualifier. A flat right-front tire relegated him to a 19th-place finish.
The Crew
Cody Coughlin’s Team JEGS crew will be led by new crew chief Jack Smith. Since Smith came on board Coughlin has visited victory lane four times and has finished in the top 10 in all but one start. Smith is joined by Kevin Hamlin (team manager), Scott Wimmer (spotter), and Dave Holt (crew member).
The Family
Cody is a third-generation race car driver. His family, including his father, John, has been successful in NHRA drag racing for decades. Cody, unlike his family predecessors, chose the path of circle-track racing rather than follow on the straight-line path set forth by the rest of his family. Cody’s mother, Di, and sister, Kennedi, attend Cody’s races in support of their favorite driver.
The Race Tracks
Lucas Oil Raceway is a 0.686-mile oval with 12 degrees of banking in the corners. Lucas Oil Raceway hosts events for the the Champion Racing Association, USAC, ARCA, and more, and formerly played host to NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series events.
Anderson Speedway is a quarter-mile oval with close to 17 degrees of banking. The high banking leads to high speeds, even on such a small track. The facility first opened in 1948, and is the home of the Little 500 for non-winged Sprint Cars every Memorial Day weekend.
