SECOND-GENERATION ASHLEY TO MAKE DRAG RACING DEBUT AT ROCKINGHAM’S PDRA SPRING NATIONALS
ROCKINGHAM, NC – Justin Ashley plans to chart his own path in drag racing and luckily for him he has a good 
mentor to provide advice along the way.
Ashley, 21, and son of two-time Pro Modified champion Mike Ashley will make his competition debut this weekend at the Professional Drag Racers Association’s Spring Nationals in Rockingham, North Carolina behind the wheel of Barry Brown’s Top Dragster entry.
A graduate of the Junior Dragster ranks, Ashley said this weekend is the result of many years working toward the ultimate goal of becoming a national event drag racer.
“Now that I’m getting ready to graduate from college the opportunity is really presenting itself,” said Ashley, a senior at Ithaca College majoring in business. “I just want to go out there and compete. I love the whole competition aspect of being an athlete, and I like the idea of competing at the highest levels, that part really excites me.
