Coughlin to Race Kurt Johnson in First Round at Phoenix

PHOENIX, February 24, 2007 - Bravo! Brands Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BRVO): Jeg Coughlin didn't like the looks of the starting lineup for Sunday's Checker's Schuck's Kragen Nationals at Firebird Raceway.

The good news was he qualified the Slammers Ultimate Milk Chevy Cobalt solidly in the 16-car lineup, but the down side was it was 10th (6.667 seconds at 207.27 mph), meaning Coughlin will be without lane choice in the opening round.

"We kept pecking away at the tune-up but we really didn't qualify too well, and that certainly wasn't up to the potential of the car, team or engine," Coughlin said. "The most important part is we are in the show. Losing lane choice might no be too bad. We'll see what Mother Nature deals us tomorrow. If we have some cloud cover it won't be an issue with the lanes. If the sun's out like it was Saturday, it's not what is preferred, but we'll just go out and do our best."

Coughlin's opponent is Kurt Johnson, who qualified seventh (6.658 at 207.75 mph.)
