DELAWARE, Ohio (July 29) — Troy Coughlin Jr. is gearing up for one of the biggest bracket races of the year. The third-generation driver will be taking his JEGS.com dragster back to Stanton, Mich., this weekend for the 20th anniversary World Super Pro Challenge.
"This is a great race; it’s the original ‘$50 Grander,'" Coughlin said. “The Ledford family always does a great job.”
Avid bracket racers from around the U.S. come to compete for the big payoff and the glory. The car count is expected to be well over 200 hot rods. Coughlin will be joined by family friend Kenny Underwood as well as girlfriend Mia Tedesco.
"I really like when Kenny races with us because he’s a great racer and is very helpful," Coughlin said. "Mia is racing as well this weekend, and it’s always fun when we get to go racing together."
Thursday is the opening day for the event, starting at 9 a.m. with one time run before eliminations. The $50,000 main event will be held Saturday.DELAWARE, Ohio (July 29) — Troy Coughlin Jr. is gearing up for one of the biggest bracket races of the year.
