Mike Coughlin will drive the Green Genie Mountain Motor Pro Stock Camaro at Summit Motorsports Park’s Night Under Fire on August 1, racing with Camrie Caruso Motorsports.

The outing marks his return to five-speed Mountain Motor Pro Stock competition, pairing proven manual-transmission skills with a fan-favorite car for one of the calendar’s most visible showcase events.

Event scheduled for August 1 at Summit Motorsports Park.

Coughlin frames the invitation as a chance to entertain a packed Norwalk crowd, thanking Camrie Caruso and her team while targeting clean, competitive runs in qualifying and eliminations.

His CV spans five NHRA divisions, underlining adaptability and racecraft. That breadth should translate to clutch control, shift execution, and launch consistency central to Mountain Motor Pro Stock performance.

Coughlin owns NHRA victories across five categories, underscoring exceptional versatility.

From the team side, integration is pivotal. Caruso’s group must align clutch tune-up, gear ratios, and engine calibration to Coughlin’s style to shorten the learning curve across limited runs.

The event is expected to feature a competitive 16-car field, increasing the premium on early execution and raising the threshold to simply make the show.

A full 16-car Mountain Motor Pro Stock field heightens qualifying jeopardy at Norwalk.

Coughlin’s record includes six Pro Stock Truck wins, four in Top Sportsman, three in Super Comp, one in Top Dragster, and three in Top Alcohol Dragster.

The marquee status of Night Under Fire also benefits the programme commercially, spotlighting the Green Genie and amplifying Caruso Motorsports’ profile with fans, partners, and prospective sponsors.

Published July 24, 2026, the announcement sets clear expectations: quick adaptation, minimal errors, and competitive pace as Coughlin returns to five-speed racing on one of the sport’s biggest stages.
