Yellow & Black Look for Toledo
At this weekend’s 7-Up 100, Cody Coughlin will have a different look on his car than what fans are used to seeing at the short tracks. The car will have the famous JEGS yellow on the top part of the car with black on the sides with the famous number-one in black with a yellow outline. The car design is very close to the design he had for the ARCA Racing Series event at Daytona International Speedway, where he started second and finished fourth.
Cody Coughlin’s Four-Legged Friends
Cody Coughlin enjoys time at the track, but is also eager to get home to enjoy time with his four-legged friends. He has two dogs and a pet goat, which helps keep him occupied when he isn’t behind the wheel. On a recent family vacation, he got an opportunity to hold a baby alligator. When asked what his dream pet would be, he said he would like to have a chimpanzee.
