NHRA 4 Wide Nationals

While fans got a taste of four-wide drag racing from the nitro ranks in September, the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals will be the first opportunity for Pro Stockers and Pro Stock Motorcycles to run four-wide down the "Bellagio of dragstrips."

Jeg Coughlin Jr., far lane, took part in opening ceremonies at zMax Dragway in August 2008 and is looking forward to the four-wide experience.


Jeg Coughlin Jr. drove his Pro Stock machine through the ribbon during the official ribbon-cutting ceremony at zMax Dragway in August 2008. The four-time NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series Pro Stock world champion was overjoyed with the news of Pro Stockers going four-wide in March.
"I am excited to run four lanes wide," Coughlin said. "It will create a lot of excitement for the fans at zMax Dragway. I want to applaud NHRA and its Competition Department for making Bruton Smith's vision a reality.
"When I first saw the renderings of the facility and took a tour when it was under construction, it was fun to imagine four cars running side by side. Now we will get to see it and live it. I am sure it will be some of the most exciting drag racing we have ever experienced. This is exactly why Bruton built zMax Dragway.”
Fellow Pro Stock competitors Greg Anderson and Jason Line, from Mooresville, N.C.-based KB Racing, also were excited to hear the news.
"The NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at zMax Dragway promises to be a spectacle unlike any other in the sport of drag racing, and it will be interesting to see the fans’ reaction,” said Line, the 2006 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series Pro Stock world champion.
“It should be particularly exciting in Pro Stock, where our races are often decided by 10-thousandths of a second. One of the biggest challenges for the drivers will be simply being able to see the staging bulbs for all four cars, especially if you’re in the lane where you have to look around the hood scoop. Lane choice also promises to be more important than ever, especially considering we’ll only get one run in each lane during qualifying.”
Three-time NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series Pro Stock world champion and Summit Racing teammate Anderson recognizes some of the challenges but is working to alleviate some of those issues and is hoping to put his name in the record books.
“There’s the matter of timing and scoring, and since the announcement, I’ve been in contact with the folks over at Compulink [who are in charge of NHRA’s timing and scoring], providing whatever input I can to help them design a viable solution,” said the Concord, N.C., resident.
“They not only have to find a way to effectively stage four cars but also have to determine the finishing order at the top end with competitors often separated by just a few thousandths of a second.
“However, knowing Bruton Smith and his staff, I’m confident they’ll find a way to get it done. I’m certainly going in with an open mind and am ready to accept the challenge. After all, everyone will be gunning to be the first to win a four-wide competition, and we’re going to do whatever we can to make sure it’s one of our Summit Racing Pontiacs.”

Weather conditions: air temperature 58 degrees, relative humidity 66 percent, barometer 29.30 inches, adjusted altitude 1,198 feet, track temperature 66 degrees.

Stanfield is out of the gate first and never trailed to win, Jones was off the line next and finished second as Anderson and Johnson have problems early and they both push in the clutch early...

(2) Jason Line (Summit Racing Equipment GXP) 0.127 6.622 210.24
(3) Larry Morgan (Lucas Oil/Summit Mustang) 0.130 6.744 199.79
(4) Erica Enders (Mustang) -9.999(R) NT-No Show

Enders in the quickest Ford Pro Stocker rolled the beam. Johnson with quickest light and holds on for the hole shot win, and Line is next to advance. Morgan has problems as he slows on the top end.

(1) Mike Edwards (Penhall/K&N/Interstae GXP) 0.052 6.590 210.64
(2) John Nobile (Nobile Racing Mustang) 0.069 6.663 207.85

Edwards was out of the gate first and never trailed and runs low E.T. of the round for the win. Nobile is next off the line and has a good looking pass to take another win light. Deceglie with problems right off the starting line. Johnson finished third in this quad...

(4) Jeg Coughlin (Jegs.com Cobalt) 0.036 6.913 174.23

Coughlin with a big head start and then starts to have problems just past half track and starts to fall back. Gray and Brogdon leave together but then it is all Brogdon and he wins second place to advance into the semifinals. Yonke was last off the line, but took that Stanfield power to the win light.

Yonke will have lane choice in the semifinal, Stanfield will get the next pick, Brogdon will then pick his lane, and Jones will go where they put him.
