Daddy Dave Sticking to Small Tires with Speed Promotions in 2025 – Here's Why It Makes Sense

If you’ve been keeping up with the buzz in the street racing world, you already know Daddy Dave has been shaking things up lately. In true Dave fashion, he's not following the crowd—he's carving his own path. And this year, that path is staying on small tires. That’s right—his badass Audi is sticking with the 28x10.5s for the 2025 Speed Promotions season, and honestly, it’s looking like a smart move.

From Big Tire Beast to Small Tire Monster

A few months back, Dave made the bold decision to convert his big tire Audi over to small tires. That’s no minor tweak either—it’s a full-blown overhaul. We’re talking rear-end housing, shocks, four-link setup... basically a complete transformation. But man, has it paid off.

Since the switch, Dave has hit several races—both on drag radials and true small tire setups—and he’s been laying down serious passes. The Audi is dialed in, and Dave’s been stacking up wins. It’s clear the car loves small tires just as much as Dave does. So rather than mess with a good thing, he’s keeping it that way—at least for now.

No Audi in Outlaw 32—But Don’t Count Him Out

Now, for those wondering if we’ll see the Audi in the Outlaw 32 class this year, the answer is no. But don’t think for a second that means Dave is sitting on the sidelines. He’ll still be at the races, fully supporting the series and showing love for the Outlaw 32 racers. And there’s still a good chance we’ll see him behind the wheel of someone else’s big tire car if the opportunity comes up. Let’s be honest—if you’ve got a fast car and need a killer driver, Daddy Dave is one of the best in the game. No doubt.

Eyes on the $200K Speed Promotions Races

Where Dave will be turning heads is in those monster $100,000-to-win small tire shootouts. With 64-car fields and massive payouts, these races are going to be absolutely wild. Drivers will be pushing their setups to the limit—some might blow their stuff up trying, others might break records. But one thing’s for sure: it’s going to be must-watch racing, and Dave is showing up to win.

He’s got the car. He’s got the tune-up. And most importantly, he’s got the driving chops. When the stakes are this high, experience and precision make all the difference—and that’s where Dave shines.

Speed Promotions Live Feed Returns

Another piece of good news for fans? Speed Promotions is bringing back the YouTube live feed for 2025. While the action isn’t heading to TV just yet, the live streams are expected to be even better than last season. Toward the end of last year, they really got the formula dialed in, and it made for a smooth, exciting viewing experience. If they can keep building on that momentum, we’re in for a treat.

Final Thoughts

Daddy Dave sticking with small tires may surprise some, but it just makes sense. Why mess with a setup that’s working really well? The Audi is fast, consistent, and already proven. Add that to Dave’s insane driving ability, and you’ve got a real contender for those six-figure wins.

At Street Outlaws Talks, we’ll be following every burnout, every pass, and every big move Dave makes this season. Whether he’s tearing it up on small tires or hopping into someone else’s big tire beast, we’re here for it.
