"We see this is a terrific way to promote not only the sport of NHRA drag racing, but also our race team here at Mike Ashley Racing and our marketing partners like Matco Tools and DirecTV," MAR team manager Tom Abbett said. "Last year we saw more than 1,500 fans and we hope to increase those numbers this year. It's a great opportunity for racing fans to get a behind the scenes look at some of the top teams in the NHRA and other forms of racing. Hopefully fans in town for the (Indianapolis) 500 can make it to the open house."

Other NHRA teams participating in the event include John Force Racing, Don Prudhomme Racing, Don Schumacher Racing, Pedregon Racing, Vance & Hines Motorsports, and Morgan Lucas Racing. Other local race shops and vendors also will open their doors to the public on May 23.

"Brownsburg Motorsports would be nothing without great teams like Mike Ashley Racing and all the other teams that call Brownsburg, Indiana home," Founder of the Brownsburg Motorsports Network Mike Green said. "I hope the fans take this opportunity to take a look behind the scenes as to all it takes to be competitive in all forms of racing."
