As first reported this weekend on NHRA.com, Scag Power Equipment is set to elevate its involvement in NHRA drag racing by establishing a multi-car factory team, marking a significant progression from its previous sponsorship role in the sport. The newly formed Scag Racing is poised to make a grand entrance into the NHRA arena during the opening event of the 2024 season, the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Florida, fielding a formidable three-car lineup.
In a strategic move, Scag has taken ownership of the Maynard Ashley Racing and Maynard Wilkerson Racing teams, consolidating their resources for a collective impact. Under the banner of Scag Wilkerson Racing, the Scag Funny Car is set to hit the tracks with a renewed vigor. Meanwhile, the Scag Top Fuel car will be under the expert management of Justin Ashley, supported by the accomplished duo of Mike Green and Tommy DeLago.
Adding to the excitement, veteran Funny Car racer Dave Richards is gearing up for a full-throttle campaign throughout the 2024 NHRA season in the eye-catching Versatran car. Scag Racing, recognizing the invaluable contributions of Elite Motorsports as exceptional ambassadors of the Scag brand, is committed to expanding its partnership with the team. The Elite Motorsports crew has seamlessly integrated Scag Nation into their program, offering unparalleled hospitality and delivering exceptional value to the overall relationship.
The Pro Stock category will witness a strengthened alliance between Scag Racing and the powerhouse duo of Richard Freeman and Erica Enders. For the 2024 season, Scag Racing will sponsor Jeg Coughlin Jr., extending its support to the championship Pro Stock team.
Scag will continue its role as the Official Outdoor Power Equipment Provider of the NHRA, solidifying its commitment to the motorsport community.
