Racing career

Coughlin started his career in drag racing, competing in the National Hot Rod Association's Jr. Drag Racing League, but eventually switched to oval track racing. He began in USAC quarter midgets, winning five races in 2009. The following year, he switched to Late models, and joined the JEGS/CRA All-Stars in 2011. In eleven races, Coughlin finished in the top ten in all but one, while also recording four top-five finishes with a best finish of second at Rockford Speedway. He was later named the series' Rookie of the Year.[1] In 2013, he won the series championship.[2]

On March 5, 2014, Coughlin was signed to Joe Gibbs Racing's driver development program.[3]

ARCA Racing Series

In March 2014, Coughlin joined Venturini Motorsports for an ARCA Racing Series test at Motor Mile Speedway, followed by another test at Mobile International Speedway,[4] and he made his series debut at the latter on March 22. After qualifying eighth, he finished 13th.[5] He made ten more starts in the season, with a best finish of fourth at Kansas Speedway and Kentucky Speedway.[6] In 2015, he won his first career ARCA pole at Talladega Superspeedway, the first pole at the track for Venturini since 2013, with a lap speed of 187.883 miles per hour (302.368 km/h). On the green–white–checker finish, he finished second after a three-wide battle to the finish.[7]

Camping World Truck Series

On July 9, 2015, Coughlin made his Camping World Truck Series debut at Kentucky, driving the No. 25 Toyota Tundra for Venturini Motorsports.[8] Due to rain canceling practice and qualifying, he never turned a lap around the track until the race, where he finished 20th. He later debuted for Kyle Busch Motorsports at Michigan International Speedway,[2] driving the No. 54 Tundra, where he finished 20th after being involved in a late wreck with Ben Kennedy.[9]

In 2016, Coughlin will drive for KBM in the No. 18 Tundra for one race at Daytona International Speedway,[10] while also running ten races in the No. 51, splitting the truck with Daniel Suárez.

Personal life

In his family, Coughlin is a third-generation racer. Coughlin's grandfather Jeg Coughlin, Sr. founded Jegs High Performance, with Jeg and relatives like Cody's father John competing in drag racing;[1] uncle Jeg Jr. is also a drag racer.
