Cody Coughlin and KB Breakup

On the NHRA insider podcast, Lohnes said that Cody quit KB Racing following his round 1 loss in Dallas. I would guess Elite is his next stop unless he leaves Pro stock all together. I’m a little shocked that this was the first mention of it being it happened well over a week ago.
 
Ken, I'm pretty sure Cody didn't leave KB because he wasn't getting a return on his investment. Nobody goes into these deals expecting a "return", especially rent a ride racers.
Yeah, remember so and so said it was over 1 million to drive an Elite car for 1 season. That's a lot of money to drive a car in a class that most people don't give a **** about.

well, what would the alternative be as far as what class to spend his money on? He could spend it on the only class 'Anybody gives a sh*t about' and subsequently smoke tires, blow up stuff and go through his cash in 3 or 4 races. If he wasn't happy with the car, Kb provided him with and wants to remain in pro stock, the only option is Elite, and his Cousin and Uncle aren't doin' much better over there than he was doing.

. . . Sorry to interrupt! . . . Let the 'Crap on Pro Stock' fest continue :)
 
From what ive read on facebook he has really burned some bridges in his first year,hot head
One could get that impression. From NHRA: "During eliminations of the 2025 DENSO NHRA Sonoma Nationals, Cody Coughlin displayed unsportsmanlike behavior and comments toward a competitor. While no fine or point deduction was issued, Mr. Coughlin received a formal warning for participant conduct. Any future incidents of this nature will result in disciplinary action."

Just consider the source.

James, you don't know the power of the Darkside...

Don't know if Elite is really viable if he wants to win. They are consistently a few hundredths slower than the KB cars, except for Erica's ride that is pretty close now (not so much earlier in the season).
