Justin Ashley added his name to the 340 MPH club during the Professional Racers Organization preseason test at Gainesville Raceway — a major milestone as the revamped SCAG Racing team prepares for the 2026 NHRA season.

Over four days and more than 300 total test runs, teams worked through new combinations and offseason changes ahead of the NHRA Gatornationals. While much of the spotlight centered on record-setting performances, Ashley quietly delivered one of the most important breakthroughs of the week.

Driving the SCAG Racing Top Fuel dragster, Justin Ashley powered to his first 340 MPH run in testing, signaling that the team’s offseason adjustments are translating to real performance on track.

The 340 MPH barrier has become one of the modern benchmarks in Top Fuel competition. Reaching it during preseason testing at Gainesville Raceway — two weeks before the NHRA Gatornationals — positions Ashley and the SCAG Racing group as legitimate contenders heading into the season opener.

Testing isn’t about trophies. It’s about data, confidence and momentum.

Justin Ashley left Gainesville with all three.
