Nationals – and for mortgage banker Mike Ashley, it’s a dream that came true today. After four rounds of grueling eliminations, Ashley drove the special-edition Eric Blake Faulkner Foundation Tribute Car all the way to the Winner’s Circle and into second place in POWERade Championship points-race. Ashley drove the Chip Foose-designed tribute car with masterful precision throughout eliminations, facing the sport’s very best. The semifinals saw Ashley face former teammate Del Worsham, whom to date has dominated in prior head-to-head competition. Nationals, support for the project includes Ashley, who is donating a rolling chassis and coordinating the project; Jim Jannard, founder of Oakley and Red, a sponsor of Ashley’s and longtime friend of the Faulkners; Chip Foose, the legendary auto designer who has directed the design and worked with Mark Adkins and the team at Illusions Custom Paint and Body of Bristol, Tenn. The win catapults Ashley to second place in POWERade Championship points from sixth where he started before the race. read more
