As usual, Coughlin was quick to defer to others for his success in racing and business and spoke at length of the great pride he has in his family, who now run JEGS Automotive, and his ever-expanding gaggle of grandchildren, many of whom have followed his lead into motorsports.
He also told funny stories from the early days when his father questioned his initial foray into a parts business that now grosses more than $210 million a year and employs 350 associates.
The entire event was captured by Don Lee and the crew from the Horizons Companies, who have made a video for Coughlin’s fans at
