Mac Tools Renews Partnership With Justin Ashley, Daniel Wilkerson For 2026 NHRA Season

SCAG Racing is excited to announce the renewal of Justin Ashley and Daniel Wilkerson’s partnerships with Mac Tools for the 2026 Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing Series season.

Mac Tools has supported Ashley since 2023 and Wilkerson throughout his entire career, providing high-quality professional tools that help both SCAG Power Equipment teams assemble, maintain, and service their race cars at peak performance both on and off the track.

“I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue representing Mac Tools alongside my teammate Daniel,” said Ashley. “We value this partnership and understand that it’s a critical piece of our program’s success. Using Mac Tools helps us accomplish our most important objectives of safety and performance. When races are decided by thousandths of a second, everything matters—and having the right tools is at the top of the list.”

Wilkerson noted that Mac Tools has supported both him and his father, Tim Wilkerson, throughout their racing careers, and is grateful to continue that relationship with his SCAG Power Equipment team. 

“For more than 20 years SCAG-Wilkerson Racing has only trusted one tool brand to get our race car turned around in less than an hour,” said Wilkerson. “Between rounds there is no margin for error. Scrambling after a tool breaks would be devastating. I wouldn’t want to do this without Mac Tools. This brand has carried my father and my teammate and friend, Justin Ashley, to many winner circles, so to represent Mac Tools alongside this team is an honor.”

Ashley and Wilkerson’s SCAG Power Equipment teams will rely on Mac Tools as they prepare their 10,000-plus-horsepower race cars and head into competition, beginning with the first stop of the 2026 season, March 6–8 at the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Florida.
