Troy Coughlin Jr. has now been to nine final rounds in his second year in the Top Alcohol Dragster class, and he has won four of them after driving the McPhillips Racing-injected nitro dragster to a final-round win against current championship leader Megan Meyer. Coughlin ran as quick as 5.18 in his win against fellow championship contender Shawn Cowie and wrapped up the title with a 5.211 to 5.261 win against Meyer in the final. Coughlin also set top speed of the event at more than 280 mph. Despite the loss, Meyer remains a favorite to capture the national championship.
