“We couldn’t ask for a better partner to join us as we host the second PRO Superstar Shootout,” said Alan Johnson, president, Professional Racers Owners Organization (PRO). “Randy Gloede and the SCAG Power Equipment team have become huge supporters of drag racing over the last couple of years. They find value in being involved in drag racing, and they are making investments that will help take the sport to new levels. It means a lot to all of us that they believe in what we are trying to do with the PRO Superstar Shootout.”

The line has grown from one model to over 50 models, and SCAG equipment is proudly manufactured in the United States. SCAG Power Equipment is available through more than 1,500 independent dealers across the country.

“Metalcraft of Mayville is excited to once again support the SCAG PRO Superstar Shootout,” said Randy Gloede, Metalcraft of Mayville President & CEO, the parent company of SCAG Power Equipment. “We enjoy caring for our dealers and partners in a fun and personal way. This is a powerful platform that is perfect for us to share experiences.”



The SCAG Power Equipment PRO Superstar Shootout will bring the stars of Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock to Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, Florida. It is an invitation-only race, with invited teams getting four qualifying sessions to attempt to qualify for the eight-car fields in Top Fuel and Funny Car and the 16-car Pro Stock field. Random chip draws will determine pairings for eliminations.



“I am so thankful that SCAG Power Equipment has returned as the primary sponsor of the PRO Superstar Shootout,” said Justin Ashley, driver of the SCAG Top Fuel dragster. “The team at SCAG has invested so much of their time, energy and effort into bettering the sport of drag racing over the last few years. This reiterates their unwavering commitment to that objective and it's something for which we are all grateful.”
