JUSTIN ASHLEY PRIMED FOR SUCCESS AT NHRA NORTHWEST NATIONALS
KENT, WA – Top Fuel standout Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota dragster team are gearing up for a high-stakes 
weekend at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways. Coming off a strong performance that ended with victory in Norwalk, Ohio, Ashley is poised to capitalize on the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the Seattle event.
“Seattle is going to be a barnburner,” Ashley said. “The first round of qualifying is always important for getting a baseline, but this time it’s even more critical because it’ll be the best conditions we see all weekend. We have to be ready because it could easily lock in the qualifying positions for a lot of the field and we would love to bring home that Deecell Power Systems ‘After Dark Low Qualifier’ bonus.”
The nitro Funny Car and Top Fuel teams will have one chance at qualifying on Friday night under the lights before three qualifying sessions on Saturday. To celebrate what is sure to be a stunning show of power, speed and header flames, Deecell Power Systems, the Official Solar Power Unit of NHRA, is sponsoring a low qualifier bonus that will be given out Friday night to the provisional No. 1 qualifiers in the Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing Series.

JUSTIN ASHLEY AND SCAG TOYOTA TAKE HOME ICE CREAM SCOOP AT SUMMIT RACING EQUIPMENT MOTORSPORTS PARK
NORWALK, OH – Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team battled to victory Sunday at the Summit 
Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park. SCAG Racing Funny Car teammates, Daniel Wilkerson in the SCAG Ford Mustang and Dave Richards in the BlueBird Turf / Versatran Mustang, each had quarterfinal finishes.
In his third consecutive final round, sixth of the season which includes a final quad appearance at the Las Vegas Four-Wide that earned him semifinal points, Ashley had a stellar .027 second reaction time coupled with a 3.931-second, 317.34 mph pass to defeat Clay Millican on a holeshot. Millican had a .089 reaction time with a 3.922, 322.34 pass.
“This is very exciting, Norwalk means a lot to me personally, my father won in Funny Car here in 2007 and ever since we started racing in Top Fuel, it was a dream of mine to win right here and that’s what we did today,” Ashley said. “It’s special. And the team did a great job all weekend long qualifying No. 1, navigating our way down the racetrack all race day long on a surface that was hot, slippery and very tricky. The teams who win these races are the ones that can go A to B, and that’s what we did today. I’m just glad it worked out and I’m really proud of Mike Green, Tommy DeLago and our whole team. They deserve this win and I’m happy that I could be along for the ride.” Continue reading
SATURDAY IN OHIO: JUSTIN ASHLEY PUTS SCAG TOYOTA NO. 1; DANIEL WILKERSON WINS BACK-TO-BACK #2FAST2TASTY CHALLENGE
NORWALK, OH – Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team officially earned their first No. 1 qualifying 
position of the season while Daniel Wilkerson and his SCAG Ford Mustang picked up their second consecutive Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge victory Saturday at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park.
Ashley and his Mike Green and Tommy DeLago led SCAG Toyota team laid down a 3.752-second pass at 330.88 mph on Friday night to earn their first No. 1 of the season, seventh of Ashley’s career and first at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park.
“It’s pretty neat, you know, our first number one qualifier all year, and it’s important. We try to use qualifying the right way; it’s an opportunity to set ourselves up for Sunday, and we feel like we did a good job of that and also ended up qualifying number one,” Ashley said. “All that stuff really gets thrown away tomorrow, though. It doesn’t matter who you’re racing, whether you’re 1 or 16 or somewhere in between, anybody can win, especially in today’s Top Fuel class, but a No. 1 qualifier speaks highly of the guys that we have. So, great job all the way around by our group.” Continue reading
JUSTIN ASHLEY AND SCAG TOYOTA ON A ROLL HEADING TO OHIO
NORWALK, OH – Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team enter this weekend’s Summit Racing 
Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park hungry for victory.
Currently third in points, Ashley has visited the final round of an NHRA national event five times this season, including back-to-back final quad appearances at the Four-Wide Nationals in Las Vegas and Charlotte, the Route 66 Nationals in Chicago, the Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tennessee and last weekend’s Virginia Nationals outside of Richmond.
Ashley’s most recent visit to the finals resulted in a less than conventional victory at Virginia Motorsports Park. Following the conclusion of the event, NHRA issued a statement disqualifying Shawn Langdon’s winning run, “The disqualification is due to a rulebook violation related to missing bolts on the bellhousing inspection cover.” By default, Ashley was awarded the win, his first of the season and 16th of his career.

That’s our fifth final round in the first nine races and that’s something we should be very proud of,” said Ashley who was in both NHRA Four-Wide Nationals final quads and finished runner-up at the Route 66 Nationals in Chicago and at the Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tennessee. “This weekend these SCAG Racing guys were just outstanding. Tough conditions, quick turnarounds and they came through as they always do. We would’ve loved to win the race. We always expect to win the race, but the sport brings out the best in everybody. The good news is that we head over to Norwalk, Ohio in a few days. We’ll try to keep that momentum moving forward and go just one round further. Thanks to all of our amazing sponsors and of course the SCAG users, dealers, and owners all across the country.” Continue reading

“I’m just so proud of this whole SCAG Ford team,” said Wilkerson who earns three bonus championship points as well as a cash prize. “I feel like I’ve hosed this a couple times, and my team has been working through it so well. I’m so blessed, I’m so lucky to get to work with SCAG Power Equipment, Summit, Ford. My family isn’t here; they were there in Bristol. I put them through a lot of crap doing this and I’m sad they aren’t here, but I guess it just means we have to win the thing again next week in Norwalk, Ohio.”
In the first round, Wilkerson, in a rematch of the semifinal from the Thunder Valley Nationals, took down Paul Lee. Wilkerson made his quickest pass of qualifying, 4.022 at 320.36, to defeat Lee who had to shut off early coasting to a 4.521 at 191.43. Continue reading
JUSTIN ASHLEY AND SCAG TOYOTA CARRYING MOMENTUM INTO NHRA VIRGINIA NATIONALS
DINWIDDIE, VA – Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team are geared up for the American Rebel Light NHRA Virginia 
Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park, the ninth race of the 20-event 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series.
Coming off a runner-up finish at the Thunder Valley Nationals, Ashley and his SCAG Toyota team, led by crew chiefs Mike Green and Tommy DeLago, are currently sitting fourth in the points standings. With back-to-back runner-up finishes at the Charlotte Four-Wide event and Route 66 Nationals, the SCAG dragster has shown consistent strength leading into this weekend’s two-day event that will feature three qualifying runs on Saturday and race day Sunday.
“Virginia Motorsports Park is a fantastic facility, and we’re excited to race in front of such passionate fans,” said Ashley, the 2020 NHRA Rookie of the Year. “This race is going to be a unique challenge unlike anything we’ve seen so far this season. It’s a lot of racing in a short period of time and very high temperatures. The teams that usually win events like this are the ones that can go A to B more consistently than the others. That’ll certainly be our goal. But truthfully, it’s the perfect weekend to highlight the importance of having a good crew. They are so important to having success in this sport and this weekend should further highlight that point. I am so grateful to have ours and look forward to watching them go to work.” Continue reading
SCAG RACING MAKES POWERFUL STATEMENT AT THUNDER VALLEY NATIONALS
BRISTOL, TN – In its second season, SCAG Racing had their best on-track performance of the team’s history with Justin Ashley, driver of the 
SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster finishing runner-up, while Daniel Wilkerson in the SCAG Power Equipment Ford Mustang Funny Car and Dave Richards in the BlueBird Turf / Versatran Funny Car both made semifinal appearances.
After a rain delay, Justin Ashley and the SCAG Toyota team faced four-time world champion Steve Torrence in the 28th Top Fuel final round of Ashley’s career. Ashley had the starting line advantage but both dragsters would have tire smoke going over the tricky race track. Ashley would pedal it, but it wasn’t enough for Torrence who was already ahead and got his dragster hooked up and across the finish in 4.022 seconds and 325.37 mph while Ashley coasted to an 8.600 pass at just 82.60.
“It was a great weekend for SCAG Racing. I’m very happy with the success we had as well as Daniel and Dave. Today was all about consistency,” said Ashley. “The track presented a few unique challenges that we were able to overcome until we got to the finals. We gave it everything we had and will continue to do the same moving forward. It was awesome watching Mike, Tommy, and our entire SCAG Power Equipment Toyota team navigate the track so well. We’re knocking at the door now we just have to knock it down.” Continue reading

We’re fortunate to have had a lot of success at Bristol in the past. Now we’re eager to take what we learned last weekend in Epping, New Hampshire and have the opportunity to apply it right away.”
