Drag racing fans love to be involved in the sport at every level but nothing compares with the interest they have in real quarter-mile memorabilia. Perhaps that’s why JEGS Mail Order founder Jeg Coughlin Sr.’s unprecedented giveaway of the actual 1973 Chevy Vega tow vehicle that had become such a familiar site at races across the country was such a big hit. It was a promotion that had fans attending the ’73 Division 3 championship at National Trail Raceway in record numbers as everyone seemed to want a shot at winning the bright yellow machine.
Carrying “Pops” ultra promotion forward, Coughlin’s four sons, who now run the company, are making waves again in 2010 by giving away a coveted ’10 Chevrolet Camaro. Just as it was in 37 years ago, some lucky fan will get the ride of his dreams and JEGS Mail Order will undoubtedly have another fan and frontline spokesperson for life.
