The most important aspect working in the favor of veteran tuners Brian
Corradi and Mark Oswald is not their high level of talent; it’s their
knack for being able to adapt to a forever changing curriculum.
The duo has been joined at the proverbial hip, since Mike Ashley brought them together in 2007.
Ashley first began nitro racing in 2005 and Oswald served as his crew
chief. When he joined Don Schumacher Racing in 2006, Corradi was
assigned as his tuner.
Corradi and Oswald joined together in 2007 and their unified effort not
only led Ashley to his first-ever NHRA POWERade Funny Car national
event victory but two others for good measure, including a remarkable
U.S. Nationals victory.
Ashley was essentially a sophomore driver when the two contributed to
his success and a year later they pulled off a national event victory
with freshman driver Melanie Troxel.
