PAGE 72 JUSTIN ASHLEY HAS ARRIVED
In just his first full season in NHRA Top Fuel , Justin Ashley has quickly become a championship contender with Dustin Davis ’ single-car Davis Motorsports operation . His reaction times have put the class ’ best leavers on notice , while crew chief Aaron Brooks gave him a car that kept the second-generation nitro wheelman out in front through the finish line . Ashley won his first race and secured the NHRA Rookie of the Year award , but he ’ s just getting started . BY JOSH HACHAT
