Cody Coughlin Race Recap:
Cody Coughlin, driver of the No. 13 JEGS Toyota Tundra, made his track debut at Gateway Motorsports Park (GMP) in Saturday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) Drivin’ for Linemen 200. Starting 13th, Coughlin finished 13th in Stage 1, and 11th in Stage 2.

Quote:
“We had a good JEGS.com Tundra tonight. We didn’t get the result we wanted due to a mistake, but we fought back, and finished on the lead lap, and learned a lot. This place is tough to pass on, but we were able to make some things happen. Now we’ll go to Iowa, and see if we can make more things happen there.”
