Fastest on the Blacktop: Street Outlaws’ Top Driver Right Now

If there’s one question that never stops buzzing in the Street Outlaws world, it’s this: Who’s the fastest driver right now? With so many powerhouse names, new challengers, and constantly changing lists, it’s a tough one to answer. But we’ve been paying close attention, and we’re breaking it down right here on Street Outlaws Talks.

The Race Never Sleeps

Street Outlaws isn’t just a show—it’s a lifestyle. And if you follow it like we do, you know the “fastest driver” isn’t a title you get to keep forever. It shifts, it evolves, and it often depends on where you’re looking. Are we talking about the OG 405 crew? NPK? America’s List? There’s fast, and then there’s fastest today.

All Eyes on Ryan Martin—Again?

Let’s be real—Ryan Martin has been the man to beat for a while now. His dominance on No Prep Kings and across various list races has made him a household name in the Street Outlaws universe. His Fireball Camaro continues to show insane consistency and speed, especially in high-stakes competition. While some say his reign might be winding down, he’s still very much in the mix, and if you’re asking about pure performance? Ryan's name still comes up at the top.

Don’t Sleep on Daddy Dave

Another heavy hitter making serious noise is Daddy Dave. After making some major changes to Goliath, he’s been gunning hard for that top spot. The dude races with heart, and every time he lines up, you know it’s going to be a battle. His ability to adapt and tweak his setup is what’s kept him in the conversation all these years.

New Names Rising

One of the things we love most about Street Outlaws is how it’s always evolving. Drivers like Justin Swanstrom, Kye Kelley, and Lizzy Musi are all bringing serious heat. Justin’s no-nonsense approach and willingness to talk smack (and back it up) keeps fans locked in. Meanwhile, Kye’s tire-shredding Mustang is never far from the top, and Lizzy continues to show she’s one of the fiercest competitors on the scene.

And let’s not forget about Murder Nova. He might’ve had a few ups and downs over the years, but don’t let that fool you—when the car is dialed in, Shawn still knows how to throw down with the best of them.

The Fastest Right Now?

If we’re talking about this moment, and factoring in both street cred and current performance on No Prep Kings, Ryan Martin still holds the edge. His ability to stay calm under pressure, paired with a well-oiled team and a car that just won’t quit, gives him that slight upper hand. But with every race, the gap closes. Drivers are getting faster, smarter, and hungrier. That title of “fastest” is up for grabs at every flag drop.

Final Thoughts from Street Outlaws Talks

At the end of the day, calling someone “the fastest” in the Street Outlaws world is always a snapshot in time. It’s what makes this community so electric. One weekend you’re on top, the next you’re getting chased down hard. What we love—and what keeps fans like us coming back—is the passion, the rivalries, and that ever-burning question:

Who’s next?
