Two-time Pro Modified champion remembers a magical weekend in St. Louis
Mike
Ashley knows well the crossroads between nitro Funny Car and Pro
Modified intersect in St. Louis, at the NHRA Midwest Nationals in St.
Louis, Mo., to be exact.
The two-time Pro Modified world champion will be pulling double-duty
driving his front-running 1968 Camaro Pro Modified in the Jegs ProMod
division as well as the second nitro Funny Car on his Gotham City
Racing operation.
Ashley, the mortgage banker from New York’s Long Island, remembers the
first time the two divisions intersected. Two years ago, in Ashley’s
first full season as a nitro Funny Car driver, he sat out the event as
he transitioned his team from Del Worsham’s operation over to Don
Schumacher Racing.
