Ashley Hits 100 NHRA Starts

Four-Wide Nationals in Las Vegas. The 2020 Rookie of the Year has never missed a race day and has earned 15 victories. He also stands at 149 career round wins and could hit 150 on Sunday. Ashley qualified No. 8 after a 3.876-second pass at 310.13 mph and will race against Doug Kalitta and Clay Millican in the first elimination quad.

Ashley expressed gratitude to his team, partners, and supporters, noting the milestone as a shared achievement.

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to compete in my 100th career race day start. Truthfully, I am not very comfortable even using the word ‘my’ because there have been so many people along the way that were part of this journey,” Ashley said. “Racing one race is a dream come true. But to race 100, that takes a special group of people; from ownership to teammates, partners, family and everyone in between. I’m looking forward to firing up this SCAG Power Equipment Toyota machine tomorrow morning and truly making it official.”
