Requested edits to improve neutrality and sourcing

Hello Wikipedia Team,

I am affiliated with JEGS High Performance and would like to request updates to improve neutrality and sourcing on this article, in line with the promotional content and citation warnings currently present. I have prepared a revised version of the lead and history sections that removes promotional language, eliminates self-published sources, and adds a third-party citation. Proposed updated content:

JEGS High Performance

JEGS Logo
Industry	Performance Automotive Equipment Mail Order
Founder	Jeg Coughlin Sr.
Headquarters	Delaware, Ohio
Owner	Greenbriar Equity Group
Website	jegs.com

JEGS High Performance is an American retailer of automotive performance parts and accessories. The company was founded in 1960 by Jeg Coughlin Sr. in Columbus, Ohio. It remained family-owned until 2022, when a majority stake was acquired by Greenbriar Equity Group."JEGS acquired by private equity firm". Performance Racing Industry. Retrieved 2026-03-25.

Improve sourcing for NHRA racing statement

I’d like to propose improving sourcing in the "Racing" section.

The current reference used for NHRA-related participation appears to be either a primary source or does not directly support the statement about competition history.

Would it be appropriate to replace or supplement this with a third-party source that provides independent coverage of Team JEGS’ racing activity or NHRA participation?

I’m happy to suggest specific sources for review if helpful.

Please let me know what would be preferred. Jaq78 (talk) 11:38, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes, an independent reliable source would definitely be preferred. That said, if you're requesting an edit, you need to be specific, something along the lines of "add citation XYZ to the end of sentence ABC". BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Following up with a more directly NHRA-focused source for the "Racing" section.

The sentence:

"Team JEGS is the motorsports division of JEGS Performance, primarily involved in drag racing and competition within the NHRA."

I suggest adding the following citation to the end of this sentence:

This source provides independent coverage of Team JEGS participating in NHRA drag racing and supports the statement in the article. Jaq78 (talk) 14:07, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Add independent sources to support notability

I’d like to propose adding additional independent, secondary sources to help address the notability concern noted at the top of the article.

I understand that demonstrating notability requires multiple reliable, independent sources that provide significant coverage of the subject.

I can provide several examples of third-party coverage of JEGS High Performance from industry publications and news sources that discuss the company’s role in the automotive aftermarket and motorsports.

Would it be appropriate to add a small number of these sources to support notability? I’m happy to propose specific citations for review if helpful.

Please let me know what would be preferred. Jaq78 (talk) 12:42, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Add independent secondary sources to History and Racing sections

Following up regarding the article’s notability and sourcing concerns, I’d like to propose adding several independent secondary sources to the existing “History” and “Racing” sections.

These sources provide direct coverage of JEGS High Performance and Team JEGS from established automotive and motorsports publications.

Possible sources include:

• Performance Racing Industry – coverage of JEGS and the company’s role in the performance aftermarket industry
• Drag Illustrated – coverage of Team JEGS participation in NHRA drag racing
• Additional NHRA-related coverage discussing Team JEGS drivers and competition activity

I believe these sources would help strengthen independent sourcing and support the article’s notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

If preferred, I can follow up with specific proposed citations and exact placement suggestions for review. Jaq78 (talk) 14:02, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Done I added the first two sources, but used a source from The Drive instead of the PRI source, as it had more information, as well as adding a source from Autoweek to the racing section. I also removed the notability tag, as I feel that notability has been sufficiently established. If any editors here disagree, feel free to revert and we can discuss it here on the talk page.
