MELVILLE, N.Y. — National Hot Rod Ass’n Rookie of the Year contender Justin Ashley announced Manscaped will be added as a major associate sponsor on his Top Fuel dragster, starting with this week’s 66th annual DENSO Spark Plugs U.S. Nationals.
In addition to the U.S. Nationals, Ashley will also compete in the final round of July’s rain-delayed NHRA SummerNationals, racing against T.J. Zizzo.
The sponsorship covers the remainder of the 2020 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season. While Manscaped, a leading brand dedicated to men’s grooming, has been involved in other forms of motorsports, this will be their first involvement in NHRA competition.
Ashley will add Manscaped to his Strutmasters.com Top Fuel dragster to three prominent locations, the front of the rear wing, the capsule roof and the front side panels.
“Teaming up with Manscaped is a perfect fit for my team. Their products are about precision engineering, power and design just like my race car,” said Ashley, a two-time national event winner in the Top Alcohol Dragster class. “Comfort is also something I am always thinking about especially when I am going over 320 mph.”
