Big Chief & Jackie Braasch: Racing, Romance, and a Life Lived in the Fast Lane

In the adrenaline-fueled world of street racing, where engines roar and egos clash under the glow of floodlights, there’s one duo that continues to capture the spotlight both on and off the track: Justin “Big Chief” Shearer and Jackie Braasch.

Fans of Street Outlaws know Big Chief as one of the most iconic racers to ever come out of Oklahoma City. But while his fearless driving and deep mechanical knowledge have long earned him respect on the street, it’s his relationship with Jackie that’s added a new layer of intrigue—and admiration—from fans around the world.

So, the question still floats around message boards and social media threads: Did Big Chief and Jackie Braasch get married? The short answer? Not yet. But their bond runs deeper than most.

A Racing Legend Meets His Match

Justin Shearer, better known as Big Chief, built his racing empire from the ground up. Long before he was a household name thanks to Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws, he was just a kid obsessed with horsepower and the thrill of the race. Over the years, Big Chief became the beating heart of the Oklahoma street racing scene, known for his machine The Crow and a racing mindset that refused to back down.

Then came Jackie Braasch—a racer in her own right and someone who didn’t just support Big Chief’s lifestyle, but lived it too. Raised around racing thanks to her father, Jackie’s path was forged early in junior dragsters and now includes competing in the Super Pro category of the Rocket Brand Race Fuel Bracket Series.

Their connection? It wasn’t just about chemistry. It was about a shared obsession with racing.

A Love Story Born in the Pits

Big Chief and Jackie reportedly began their relationship in 2017, not long after Justin’s public separation from his former wife, Alicia Shearer. Initially, the couple kept things quiet, letting their connection grow outside the glare of cameras and headlines. But as time went on, their appearances together at tracks, events, and even on Instagram became more frequent—and more telling.

Whether it’s working in the garage, traveling to races, or just enjoying the open road together, Big Chief and Jackie’s relationship has always felt genuine and rooted in something real. For every gearhead out there watching, it’s clear: this isn’t a PR stunt or a surface-level fling. It’s a partnership.

Power Couple of the Street Racing World

What makes their story stand out is how much they enhance each other. Jackie isn’t just standing beside Big Chief—she’s tuning engines, driving her own high-powered dragster, and continuing to represent women in motorsports through organizations like Car Chicks.

Together, they’re a force. While Big Chief might be the more recognized face thanks to Street Outlaws, Jackie brings her own horsepower—literally and figuratively—to the table.

One symbol of their combined passion? Jackie’s 2014 Cadillac nicknamed Caddy Jack, a car capable of blowing through the quarter-mile in just 8 seconds. It’s not just a machine; it’s a statement. And like their relationship, it’s built for speed, endurance, and leaving a lasting impression.

Married or Not—They’re All In

Despite the years together and the countless photos showing rings or close moments, Big Chief and Jackie have never confirmed a marriage. And honestly? That might just be what makes their bond even stronger. No pressure. No spotlight chase. Just two people who share a garage, a dream, and a deep respect for one another.

They’ve found a rhythm that works for them—balancing public admiration with private protection. In a world where many couples struggle to keep romance and work separate, Big Chief and Jackie have intertwined both seamlessly. It’s not about sacrificing for the other—it’s about growing with each other.

What’s Next for Jackie?

While Jackie hasn’t been a regular on Street Outlaws, fans are always hoping she’ll take on a bigger role. Whether it’s in front of the cameras or behind the scenes, Jackie brings something fresh to the show and the broader street racing scene: a female racer with grit, skills, and the respect of her peers.

She’s already become a role model for young women in motorsports, and her presence alongside Big Chief continues to raise awareness about gender diversity in the drag racing world. If you ask us here at Street Outlaws Talks, Jackie deserves even more spotlight—because she's not just a racer’s girlfriend; she’s a racer, period.

A Relationship Built on Horsepower and Heart

So, did Big Chief and Jackie get married? As of now, no official wedding bells have rung. But what they’ve built is arguably even more meaningful—a relationship grounded in mutual respect, shared goals, and a deep love for the racing life.

They’ve proven that you don’t need a ring to have a ride-or-die partnership.

In a community that thrives on horsepower, nitrous, and fearless late-night showdowns, Big Chief and Jackie Braasch are proof that the strongest connections come from understanding each other’s grind—and cheering each other on through every burnout, every rebuild, and every race day.

Whatever the future holds, one thing is for sure: these two are taking every lap of life together, and we at Street Outlaws Talks will be here watching—and cheering them on every step of the way.
