Lizzy Musi enjoyed and endured the highs and lows of racing and life within a single day as the “Street Outlaws No Prep Kings” series stormed through Arizona out at Tucson Dragway last weekend.
Musi, in her Robert Hayes Race Cars-built 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, known as “Bonnie,” shot out ahead, securing what would have been a solid win against Ryan Martin in the Fireball Camaro when she appeared to lose control of Bonnie. Unfortunately, she struck the barrier on the driver's side then crossed the lines over to the other lane, hitting the opposite concrete barrier on the passenger side. Lizzy Musi was sent to the hospital for a routine evaluation, but thankfully there was no immediate injury.

In an Instagram post from her father, Pat Musi, he assured fans she was doing OK. After thanking them for their concern, Pat began by letting everyone know that Lizzy "got the second-round win over Ryan Martin." It's a bit strange to start with the race results then ease into Lizzy's health status from there.
"She got out of the car on her own and was taken to the hospital for observation and released," he said.
Pat went on to give the car's design a shoutout because it was craftmanship that kept Lizzy safe. "The Robert Hayes-built car and all the safety equipment did its job," said Pat. According to him, the car is currently being repaired and they will be back.

At the moment the Nola couple Lizzy Musi and Kye Kelley are the only ones that can put Ryan’s championship in danger just like last year when they did not manage to keep the gray Fireball Camaro behind them at the races.

As you may or may not know, it was a final like no other and instead of the usual suspects, we had Kyla Morton and John Odom racing for the $40,000 prize. While Kyla Morton had proven to be the fastest car in the competition, we believe that the fastest car on the property is featured in the video that we are bringing you, so in a way, this is the finals before the finals since these two are the cars to beat at Tucson this weekend.

After this weekend we still have Ryan Martin at the top of the leaderboard with 500 points, being followed, not so closely, by Kye Kelley with 380 points, and then it’s Lizzy Musi from Justin Swanstrom with Scott Taylor rounding up the top five.
