Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team enter the 2025 NHRA New England Nationals at New England Dragway with momentum after earning consecutive runner-up finishes in Charlotte and Chicago. Currently ranked fifth in the standings, Ashley is targeting his first win of the season and a breakthrough victory at the Epping event. He will also compete in the Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge during Saturday qualifying, a rematch opportunity based on his semifinal appearance at the previous race.
Ashley, the 2020 NHRA Rookie of the Year, highlighted the unique, grassroots atmosphere of New England Dragway and the excitement of racing close to home. Having previously reached the finals in Epping in 2022, Ashley is eager to build on recent performances and push toward the winner’s circle. The weekend schedule includes qualifying sessions on Friday and Saturday, with eliminations on Sunday. Television coverage will air on FS1 and FOX.
