Joliet, Ill. (June 13) – Taking full advantage of the momentum created by his season-opening win last month in 
Indianapolis, Mike Coughlin struck again as he drove his JEGS.com Cobalt to the Top Sportsman title in the final round of the North Central Division Lucas Oil Series event at Route 66 Raceway.
Coughlin extended his winning streak behind the wheel of his 200-mph Chevy to ten-straight rounds to collect the tenth Lucas Oil Series title of his career. Coughlin drove to a 6.761 elapsed time on his 6.76 dial-in after opponent Kevin Waller encountered a mechanical problem and was late off the starting line. Ironically, Coughlin would have lost the round on a breakout had he run quicker by just two-thousandths of a second, but he managed to lift off the throttle at precisely the right moment.
