CHANDLER, AZ – Top Fuel standout Justin Ashley and his SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team are ready to ignite the desert as they head into the 40th annual NHRA Arizona Nationals at Firebird Motorsports Park.

Ashley, the 2020 NHRA Rookie of the Year, enters the weekend with confidence after reaching the final round at Firebird in 2024, where he fell just short against Shawn Langdon. With a win at the Arizona Nationals in 2023 Ashley will be looking to pilot his 11,000-horsepower SCAG Toyota machine to his third consecutive final round at the Arizona Nationals.

“What excites me most about returning to Phoenix is the opportunity to continue making laps on this race car. Mike [Green], Tommy [DeLago], and the team worked hard over the last few months to make the necessary changes required for increased performance. The more laps we make, the more data we receive, the better we become,” Ashley said. “We’ve had a lot of success at Firebird Motorsports Park in the past and are fully positioned to do the same this weekend. It’s our goal to go just one round further than last season and park our SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster in the winners circle.” Continue reading →

GAINESVILLE, FL – Justin Ashely, driver of the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster, will take on two-time world champion Brittany Force in the opening round of the Right Trailers Top Fuel All Star Callout.

Eight of the best Top Fuel dragster pilots qualified for the specialty Top Fuel race taking place at Gainesville Raceway this weekend during the Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals. Ashley was the No. 4 seed and by the luck of the draw was matched with Force.

“This weekend in particular is probably one of my favorites because you have the start of the season and the Top Fuel Callout. There’s a level of unpredictability there. I didn’t get to call someone out and wasn’t called out either, so it ended up Brittany Force and I,” Ashley said. “Super excited for the opportunity to race her, she’s the two-time champ for a reason. I think we’ll bring out the best in each other both as drivers and as teams. We’re going to both be eager to turn on win lights, that’s for sure.” Continue reading →

GAINESVILLE, FL – Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team are eager to kick-off their 2025 Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing Series season at this weekend’s Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway.

Ashley finished the 2024 NHRA season third in the championship points standings with four wins in six final round appearances. He led the Top Fuel class for seven races, including heading into the NHRA Finals, and scored his sixth career No. 1 qualifying position. The SCAG Toyota team is hoping to take that success and momentum and carry it right over the 2025 season starting with the historic Gatornationals.

“This is one of my favorite times of the year. I loved everything we accomplished last season as a team and think back with so much appreciation for the journey. But now it’s time to officially put it in the rear-view mirror,” Ashley said. “Thanks to SCAG and the SCAG Power Equipment PRO Superstar Shootout, we are fortunate to have made more laps than ever before heading into the start of an NHRA season.” Continue reading →

POMONA, CA – Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team enter this weekend’s In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, the final race of the 2024 Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing Series season, sitting in the Top Fuel points lead.

While Ashley has been in the championship discussion for the last two consecutive seasons, finishing fourth both years, he’s never entered the final race of the season leading the Top Fuel class.

“It’s exciting, coming in with the points lead. We’re grateful and we’re excited for the opportunity,” Ashley said. “This SCAG Toyota team is definitely focused on having a near perfect weekend. We’re going to try to stack those round wins on Sunday and hopefully we come away with this championship.”

Ashley earned the points lead when he picked up his fourth win of the season, a career best for the second-generation racer, at the Texas NHRA FallNationals. Following a quarterfinal finish at the most recent NHRA Nationals in Las Vegas, Ashley was able to maintain a 44-point lead. With points and a half up for grabs at the Finals, Ashley will have to fend off seven other Top Fuel pilots who are mathematically still in the title hunt. Continue reading →

LAS VEGAS – Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team enter this weekend’s Ford Performance NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the fifth of six races in the NHRA Countdown to the Championship, holding onto the Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing Series Top Fuel points lead by 44.

Ashley is coming off a victory at the Texas NHRA FallNationals that took him from a 34-point deficit to the lead. It was his fourth win of the season, a career best for the second-generation racer. Ashley started the Countdown to the Championship, NHRA’s six race playoffs, with a No. 1 qualifier and semifinal finish at the Pep Boys NHRA Nationals in Reading, Pennsylvania that put him in the points lead by just one over Antron Brown but a No. 4 qualifier and second round exit at the Carolina Nationals, coupled with Brown winning the event, shifted Ashley to second. Ashley maintained his No. 2 standing with a semifinal finish at the NHRA Midwest Nationals before taking the lead in Texas.

“I am sure there will be a heightened level of intensity in Las Vegas because of the championship implications. Everyone understands that there are only a handful of opportunities left to gain points,” Ashley said. “But that shouldn’t change our approach. We are in this position for a reason. It’s all about being our best both on and off the racetrack. The rest will take care of itself.” Continue reading →
