Scott Okuhara Named Co-Crew Chief on Bluebird Turf Top Fuel Team

SCAG Racing is pleased to announce that Scott Okuhara has been named Co-Crew Chief on the recently added Bluebird Turf/ Will Smith Top Fuel Dragster Team, joining Glen Huszar. 

This role marks a new title for Okuhara, who has previously served as Car Chief for many notable teams across the NHRA pits. His experience brings a fresh and welcomed perspective to SCAG Racing’s expanding operation.

“Randy and SCAG Racing have put together an amazing race team,” said Okuhara. “Working alongside the SCAG Top Fuel team is a great opportunity and hopefully by combining our resources we can become a stronger competitive race team to represent the Bluebird Turf brand.”

Will Smith reinforced that enthusiasm, highlighting the value that Okuhara brings to the team. 

“I couldn’t be more proud to have Scott Okuhara join the SCAG Racing team on our Bluebird Turf Top Fuel car,” said Smith. “The SCAG Power Equipment, Bluebird Turf, and Metalcraft brands are built by our dealers and employees. They make the difference. Adding Scott to our team strengthens that foundation with proven experience, insight, and leadership. I can’t wait to hit the track with Glen, Scott, and our entire Bluebird Turf team.”

Okuhara, Huszar, and Smith will work closely with Tommy DeLago, Jason McCulloch, and Justin Ashley from the SCAG Power Equipment fielded dragster, maximizing resources and knowledge to strengthen the organization as a whole.
