Mac Tools US Nationals 2010







This year's Nationals was a great success for Johns Racing Team! Irvin won class in Stock with the Hoosier Hemi and won Super Stock Class GT/BA with Indiana Johns. Irvin's partner Joey Wilkes made it to the fifth round in Stock eliminations, (Joey beat Irvin first round in stock eliminations). The main event was the Super Stock eliminations. Irvin was runner up to Jimmy DeFrank in the finals!! Friday's tear down of the Hoosier Hemi was long and intense, the week's weather was simply awesome, and the trip to the final round "Priceless".

Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Paks Pack an Impressive Punch at Pomona

A duo of Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Paks posted encouraging outings at the 50th Annual Kragen O’Reilly NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, Calif. Irvin Johns qualified No. 1 in the Stock Eliminator class while NHRA Pro Stock star Jeg Coughlin, doing double duty, claimed the No. 6 spot.

Johns, of Charlestown, Ind., recorded an ET of 9.918 in his Hoosier HEMI Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak, owned by himself and his wife, Gina, to claim the pole. Coughlin clocked a 10.046 pass in his Mopar Drag Pak to slot himself sixth in the class. Both drivers exited early in the elimination rounds but remained buoyed by their Winternationals weekend.

"I qualified No. 1 at the 50th Annual NHRA Winternationals at Pomona," said an amazed-sounding Johns, who also claimed the No. 1 spot in qualifying at the 2009 JEGS Northern SPORTSnationals in Columbus, Ohio. "It was fantastic. It’s what I came here to do."

Coughlin and Johns plan to run a heavy slate of events in their respective Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Paks during the 2010 season. Both drivers are scheduled for action next weekend at the NHRA Arizona Nationals at Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix, Ariz.
