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
DANIEL WILKERSON AND SCAG MUSTANG LOOKING TO CAPITALIZE ON MOMENTUM AT SUMMIT RACING EQUIPMENT NHRA NATIONALS
NORWALK, OH – Daniel Wilkerson, driver of the SCAG Power Equipment Ford Mustang, heads to this weekend’s Summit Racing 
Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park with a deep connection to the track and a strong desire to deliver a standout performance.
“Norwalk is particularly special to me because it’s where I made my first run next to a competitor. The Bader family needed a filler car in 2007 for their Night Under Fire event, and we made a couple awesome runs. We’ve been invited back a lot since then,” said Wilkerson. “Summit Racing Equipment has also supported my entire career, and this is their home track, so we will be spending time with them and their employees leading into and throughout this weekend. Hopefully we can put on an equal to or better performance as the last couple races for everyone that supports us.”
Wilkerson’s history at Norwalk, combined with the support of Summit Racing Equipment, adds extra motivation for the SCAG Power Equipment team to shine. Coming off back-to-back semifinal appearances at the Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tennessee and the Virginia Nationals just last weekend where he also captured the Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge victory, Wilkerson is currently seventh in points and on the heels of capturing his first professional Funny Car victory.

DINWIDDIE, VA – Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team made their second consecutive final round 
appearance of the season Sunday at the American Rebel Light Beer NHRA Virginia Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park. In Funny Car, Daniel Wilkerson in the SCAG Power Equipment Ford Mustang team made a semifinal appearance and Dave Richards in the BlueBird Turf / Versatran hot rod had a quarterfinal exit.
Facing former world champion Shawn Langdon in the finals, the SCAG Toyota had several holes out and blew the blower off. Justin Ashley watched Langdon pull away to a 3.940 second pass at 319.67 mph while the injured SCAG Toyota dragster crossed the finish line in 4.167 at 227.92.
“We have a very hungry team right now. 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
DANIEL WILKERSON WINS #2FAST2TASTY CHALLENGE AT NHRA VIRGINIA NATIONALS
DINWIDDIE, VA – Daniel Wilkerson and the SCAG Power Equipment Ford Mustang team picked up their first Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty Challenge victory of the 
season Saturday while qualifying for the American Rebel Light Beer NHRA Virginia Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park just outside of Richmond.
Racing three-time world champion Ron Capps in the finals, Wilkerson handled the SCAG Mustang to the quickest pass of the third qualifying session with a 4.038-second pass at 320.74 mph. Capps came up short with a clean pass at 4.063 and 315.12.
“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
DANIEL WILKERSON AND SCAG FORD TEAM OPTIMISTIC HEADING TO NHRA VIRGINIA NATIONALS
DINWIDDIE, VA – Daniel Wilkerson and the SCAG Power Equipment Ford Mustang Funny Car team are ready to take advantage of recent momentum as they head 
to Virginia Motorsports Park for the American Rebel Light NHRA Virginia Nationals.
Coming off a semifinal finish at the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Wilkerson and his team are dialed in for Virginia. Sitting seventh in points with one final round appearance at the Winternationals in April, Wilkerson is looking to better his No. 8 qualifying position and quarterfinal exit from last year’s Virginia Nationals.
“I have a really good feeling about Richmond. The heat will bring on our kind of track surface, and with some momentum we built at Bristol, I really like our chances of going some rounds and maybe getting that elusive first win,” Wilkerson said. “We were towing the race car back after that second round win at Bristol and I randomly got super excited and started yelling to the guys, ‘Guys we are in the #2Fast2Tasty race with [Dave] Richards!’ We got to race in that deal quite a few times last year, so hopefully we can bring home a few extra points this weekend too.” 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
DANIEL WILKERSON AND SCAG FORD POISED FOR BREAKTHROUGH AT NHRA THUNDER VALLEY NATIONALS
BRISTOL, TN – Daniel Wilkerson, driver of the SCAG Power Equipment Ford Mustang Funny Car, is ready to tackle the Super Grip NHRA 
Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway this weekend, confident that his team’s potential is on the verge of shining through.
Wilkerson and the SCAG Ford Mustang team are tied for ninth in the Funny Car points standings after a runner-up finish, the second of his career, at the NHRA Winternationals in March that was followed up by a quarterfinal appearance at the Las Vegas Four-Wide Nationals. Wilkerson had his best qualifying effort at the Charlotte Four-Wide event, starting race day from the No. 3 spot. He is currently looking to break a three-race first round loss streak but despite recent results not fully reflecting their capabilities, Wilkerson and his crew, led by his father and veteran racer, Tim Wilkerson, are optimistic about their performance heading into Bristol.
“We have a better car than the paper shows. We have made strong runs in qualifying in cool conditions and top three laps in hot conditions. I know it, Tim knows it, our whole team knows it, this thing will come around soon,” Wilkerson said. “Tim has never won at Bristol, so checking this race off him and mom’s list would be a great way to turn this thing around.” Continue reading

EPPING, NH – Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team made a quarterfinal appearance Sunday at the 
NHRA New England Nationals at New England Dragway. His Funny Car teammates, Daniel Wilkerson in the SCAG Ford Mustang and Dave Richards in the BlueBird Turf / Versatran machine, had first round exits.
Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota team started their day from the No. 7 qualifying spot after a 3.717-second pass at 336.99 mph from the final qualifying session on Saturday.

DANIEL WILKERSON AND SCAG FORD MUSTANG SET TO SHINE AT NHRA NEW ENGLAND DRAGWAY
EPPING, NH – Daniel Wilkerson and the SCAG Power Equipment Ford Mustang Funny Car team are primed to make a bold statement at the 
12th annual NHRA New England Nationals at New England Dragway.
Wilkerson and the SCAG Ford team will be aiming to rebound from a challenging outing at the Route 66 NHRA Nationals near Chicago. Wilkerson qualified No. 12 off a solid pass from Friday but struggled the rest of the weekend that ended with a first-round exit. The SCAG Mustang sits seventh in the points standings off the efforts of a runner-up finish at the Winternationals in Pomona, California and a career best No. 3 qualifying effort in Charlotte for the Four-Wide Nationals.
“I’m really excited to get back to racing so we can redeem ourselves after a disappointing Joliet appearance at Route 66 Raceway. We ran really well at Epping last year so I’m excited to get back there so our whole team can remind everyone not to sleep on this SCAG Power Equipment Mustang,” Wilkerson said. “We got close to the team’s best run with that 3.84 at Charlotte, so hopefully we can ride the lobster claw Friday night with a new personal best.” Continue reading
JUSTIN ASHLEY AND SCAG TOYOTA RUNNER-UP TO LEAD SCAG RACING AT THE ROUTE 66 NHRA NATIONALS
JOLIET, IL – Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team secured their second consecutive runner-up 
finish Sunday at the Gerber Collision and Glass Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway. In Funny Car, Daniel Wilkerson in the SCAG Ford Mustang as well as Dave Richards and the BlueBird Turf / Versatran team had first round exits.
In his first final round at Route 66 Raceway, Ashley lined up against motorsports legend Tony Stewart for the sixth time in their careers, first time in a final round. It was a clean drag race from the start with Ashley getting the slight starting line advantage. Ashley had a solid 3.818-second pass at 324.12 mph, but it wouldn’t be enough for Stewart, who got his first Top Fuel win two events ago in Las Vegas. He pulled away for a 3.777 run at 329.10 for the win.
“It was a great weekend. We would have loved to seal the deal for everyone at SCAG Power Equipment and Metalcraft of Mayville, but super happy with how things went and feel like things are definitely trending in the right direction. Very proud of our whole team,” Ashley said. “Going rounds like this is super important. A few final rounds, back-to-back runner-up finishes. It’s really good to get momentum. It’s kind of two-fold. The better you do, the more momentum you have. At the same time, the better you do, the more laps you make and the more data you get. All-in-all, it’s good. Once the race is done though, you have to put it in the past, but it’s nice to get some momentum going forward.” Continue reading
