Rains washed out most of Pro Stock qualifying on Saturday at the NHRA SpringNationals leaving Jeg Coughlin Jr. at the top of the qualifying list headed into final eliminations at the O'Reilly NHRA Spring Nationals outside of Houston.

The No. 1 seeding marked Coughlin's first since 2010 and held despite not getting to run on Saturday. His 6.569 seconds at 211.20 mph held up from Friday qualifying.

The No. 1 is the 18th of Coughlin's career in Pro Stock and the second at Houston. He squares off against Steve Kent in the first round of eliminations. Kent's lap of record was in 17.392 seconds at 57.71 mph, however on Friday Kent had a pass of 6.648 seconds at 209.49 mph, but it was wiped away because he was outside the top 12 in qualifying at the end of the day.

Coughlin confirmed his JEGS.com Avenger suffered no real ill effects from the wild, bumpy ride it took in the shutdown area on Friday after his parachutes didn't deploy correctly and he had to use the brakes to get the car slowed down after his second round qualifying run on Friday.
