Scag Racing has revealed specialty paint schemes highlighting individual products from Metalcraft of Mayville’s Scag Power Equipment line. The new liveries will debut at this weekend’s Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway, an event and venue known for more than its on-track action.
What sets BIR apart from other tracks on the NHRA circuit is its on-site camping, specifically, “the Zoo” campground, which with its live music, fireworks, a constant parade of party wagons and bonfires, has a reputation among drivers, teams, and fans alike for being the place to be at the end of race day.
Playing into the theme of “the Zoo,” the three nitro hot rods of Scag Racing driven by Justin Ashley, Daniel Wilkerson, and Dave Richards as well as the Pro Stock car of Elite Motorsports’ Jeg Coughlin Jr. will feature the animal version of Scag Power Equipment products.
“At Scag Racing, we take our jobs very seriously. We have a responsibility to perform both on and off the racetrack for all of the Scag Power Equipment dealers, distributors, owners, and users all across the country. But we are also a lighthearted bunch that loves to have fun and be around each other,” said Top Fuel driver Justin Ashley, whose Scag Toyota dragster will feature the Cheetah II and Turf Tiger II. “That’s what these designs are all about. It’s an exciting change that will showcase the creative input of so many Metalcraft of Mayville team members who helped put it all together. Brainerd fans have always brought ‘the Zoo’ to us, so it’s only right that we bring it back to them this time.”
