Vegas Showdown for Justin Ashley

Justin Ashley and the SCAG Power Equipment Toyota Top Fuel dragster team enter the Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals in Las Vegas second in the Top Fuel standings, just 141 points behind leader and Toyota teammate Doug Kalitta. With two races remaining, Ashley remains optimistic about the championship chase, saying, “We are still in the championship hunt. I understand that on paper it’s going to be a difficult task, but that’s never stopped us before.”

After a strong season featuring four victories and seven final-round appearances, Ashley looks to secure his first win at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Reflecting on the team’s focus, he added, “The goal for our SCAG Power Equipment team never changes. It’s all about being our very best both on and off the racetrack. The rest will take care of itself.”

Ashley credited his crew, led by Tommy DeLago and Jason McCulloch, for keeping the team prepared. “We are all ready for Las Vegas,” Ashley said. “It’s been a busy few weeks with a number of different changes, but the best way to continue moving forward is by getting to the race track. I have so much respect and gratitude for both of them. This is going to be an exciting journey with two proven winners and an outstanding team underneath them.”

Qualifying for the Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals takes place Friday and Saturday, with eliminations on Sunday, all airing on FOX Sports 1.
