Hello, Street Outlaws fans! At Street Outlaws Talks, we’re all about keeping you updated on your favorite drivers, cars, and projects, and today we’re diving into the exciting progress Monza has made on his iconic split bumper Camaro. Monza’s sinister black Camaro has been a fan favorite since Street Outlaws first hit the airwaves. Over the years, it’s evolved through various setups, from nitrous to turbocharged powerplants. Now, Monza is taking things to a whole new level with a ProCharged Hemi engine—one that’s bound to shake things up on the street and the track. Photo by HPP Racing The New Powerhouse Under the Hood The ProCharged Hemi that Monza is dropping into the Camaro has a storied history of its own. Originally part of Scott Taylor’s lineup, this engine made its mark in the famed Track Doe  Firebird before moving to the Track Doe  Camaro. After Scott transitioned to his John Doe  project, the Hemi found a new home there, proving its capabilities on small tires. With Monza’s skilled hands at work, this engine is getting yet another chance to shine in one of Street Outlaws’  most legendary cars. Big Changes for Big Gains One of the biggest updates to the Camaro is the motor placement. Monza is moving the engine six inches back, improving the car’s weight distribution and handling. This adjustment is a game-changer, making the Camaro more versatile for both track and street racing. Photo by Team Monza 405  Weight is another area where the Camaro is seeing major improvements. Monza estimates the car will tip the scales at 2,700–2,750 pounds—lighter than before. Paired with the F4-136 ProCharger, this setup is a serious contender. While this ProCharger was controversial in some racing circles and even banned in certain events, it remains a top-tier performer. For Monza, who’s not focusing on NPK ( No Prep Kings ), it’s the perfect choice to dominate in grudge racing, street events, or even small tire competitions. Proven Success with This Combo Scott Taylor’s success with this exact engine and ProCharger combination is a promising sign for Monza. On his John Doe  car, Taylor was a force to be reckoned with, especially on small tires. If Monza can replicate even a fraction of that success, his Camaro is going to be a tough opponent for anyone who lines up against it. Photo by Team Monza 405  What’s Next? As the rebuild progresses, we’re all eagerly waiting to see the finished product. Monza’s Camaro is shaping up to be faster and more powerful than ever, with the perfect mix of experience, engineering, and raw power behind it. Whether he takes it to the streets or sticks to grudge racing, there’s no doubt this build will leave fans—and competitors—in awe. Stay tuned to Street Outlaws Talks  for the latest updates on Monza’s Camaro and all your favorite Street Outlaws  stars. We’ll be following this build closely, and we can’t wait to see it in action! Let us know in the comments: Do you think this new setup will make Monza’s split bumper the fastest it’s ever been?

If there’s one thing we can count on from Kye Kelley, it’s that he knows how to turn heads on the drag strip. Recently, the Street Outlaws star brought his famous Shocker Camaro to the Snowbird Nationals, part of the Drag Illustrated Winter Series. This event, which also includes the U.S. Street Nationals and the World Series of Pro Mod, brings together some of the fastest door cars in the world. With big money and even bigger bragging rights on the line, Kye Kelley made sure to put on a show. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing  From No Prep Kings to Prep Tracks The Shocker Camaro  has become synonymous with Kelley’s no-prep dominance. But this time, Kye had a unique goal in mind: to showcase just how fast a No Prep Kings (NPK) car can perform on a prepped track in optimal conditions. And it’s not just talk—this isn’t the first time he’s taken the Shocker  to a prepped race. Earlier this year, when the car was practically brand new, he laid down an impressive 3.69-second pass. For those who follow Pro Mod racing, that’s no small feat. What makes Kye’s setup even more interesting is that his screw-blown Camaro is light enough to meet the Pro Mod minimum weight requirements, a rarity for an NPK car. Under current rules, with a screw blower at 92% overdrive, Pro Mod cars must weigh at least 2,675 lbs. By contrast, NPK rules require heavier setups, but Kye’s Shocker  remains exceptionally light and competitive in both categories. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing  Tough Competition at the Snowbird Nationals The Snowbird Nationals bring a unique challenge. Kye’s short-wheelbase Camaro will be going head-to-head with long-wheelbase Pro Mods designed specifically for prepped tracks. The differences in chassis setup and power delivery can be stark, but as Kye has proven before, he’s more than capable of rising to the occasion. At a PDRA race earlier this year, he not only qualified but also won a round, showcasing the Shocker’s  potential against elite competition. Kye’s ability to run a 3.69 in less-than-ideal conditions (high altitude and humidity) adds to the intrigue. The Snowbird Nationals, held in the cooler winter months, typically offer much better air. With improved track prep and conditions, many believe the Shocker  has the potential to go even faster—possibly into the mid-3.60s. What’s Next for Kye Kelley? To qualify at the Snowbird Nationals, competitors will likely need to run in the mid-3.60s. It’s a tall order, but with Kye’s experience and the Shocker’s  capabilities, it’s entirely possible. The car has already proven its worth, and with more laps and tuning adjustments, Kye could be a serious contender. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing  The racing community is buzzing with anticipation to see how Kelley performs. Whether he’s running on no-prep surfaces or taking on the best Pro Mods in the world, Kye Kelley continues to be one of the most exciting racers in the sport. The Snowbird Nationals are shaping up to be an unforgettable event, and you can bet we’ll be watching every pass. Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com  for updates, results, and more coverage of Kye Kelley and the Shocker Camaro as they take on the best in the business.

Welcome to Street Outlaws Talks! We’re here to dive into the latest drama from the World Cup Finals, where some of the top names in the Street Outlaws universe took on the track. Today’s highlight, and one we’re all still buzzing about, was James “Birdman” Finney hitting a mind-blowing 5.593-second quarter mile at a blistering 238 mph. Unfortunately, things took a dangerous turn shortly after his record-breaking run. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Birdman’s Remarkable Run: Breaking into the 5-Second Quarter Mile First, let’s give Birdman the credit he deserves. Clocking 5.593 seconds on a quarter mile is no easy feat, and he did it with precision and power. That’s 102 mph at 60 feet, followed by an impressive 269 mph at 330 feet, pushing him into elite racing territory. Despite a season that hasn’t seen him dominating the way he has in the past, Birdman reminded everyone that he’s still got it. Whether it’s on the street or the strip, Birdman has earned his place as one of the toughest racers in the Street Outlaws  lineup. The Incident: Losing the Parachutes and Getting Loose Right after crossing the finish line, Birdman faced an unexpected and terrifying moment. At 238 mph, his parachutes failed to deploy, leaving him with minimal stopping power. At that speed, every second counts, and without the parachutes to slow him down, the risk factor increased dramatically. Birdman’s car got loose near the big end, and before he could regain control, it rolled over. Photo by Birdman Racing  Fortunately, Birdman (James Finney) emerged from the wreck with no serious injuries. According to a recent update on his Facebook page, he’s doing fine and getting checked out by medical staff to be safe. The crash was intense, and while the car took heavy damage, his well-being is a relief to everyone. The Car’s Condition: What We Know So Far As of now, we don’t know the full extent of the car's damage. Birdman is a veteran racer with a wealth of experience and resilience, and we hope to see both him and his car make a strong comeback. The accident serves as a reminder of the risks these racers take every time they hit the track, especially at the speeds we’re seeing in the quarter mile. A Look Back at Street Outlaws in the World Cup Finals Birdman isn’t the only Street Outlaws  star making waves this year. Alongside him, other racers like Chris Rankin, Chris Varni, Chuck Seitsinger, and Caden Rankin are competing, showing just how much talent is coming out of the Street Outlaws  scene. Over the years, Street Outlaws  racers have regularly shown up to this event, pushing limits and drawing crowds. In 2022, for instance, Jim Howe and John Odom hit the track, with Howe reaching an impressive 5.73-second run at 248 mph—a hard time to beat. Photo by Birdman Racing  This year, Chuck Seitsinger posted a 6.01-second run during the qualifying rounds, a commendable performance in its own right. As we wait for more updates on how everyone else performed today, Birdman’s bold 5-second run will remain the talk of the finals. A Dangerous Sport: Racing at 238 mph Racing at nearly 240 mph is not for the faint of heart, and any slight mistake at these speeds can have major consequences. For Birdman, missing the parachute deployment at that speed meant losing one of the key safety mechanisms racers rely on. With limited time to react, the risk increases, and things can go wrong in seconds. Thankfully, Birdman is okay, and it’s clear his years of experience and racing instinct helped minimize the impact. What’s Next for Birdman? This isn’t Birdman’s first brush with danger, and it’s unlikely to slow him down for long. Known for his resilience and competitive spirit, we’re sure he’ll be back in the no-prep scene soon enough, hopefully with a repaired or even upgraded ride. For now, we’re just grateful he’s safe and already updating his fans. Wrapping Up: The Future of Street Outlaws at the World Cup Finals Street Outlaws  drivers have a reputation for taking risks, pushing boundaries, and bringing intense action wherever they race. The World Cup Finals continue to be a proving ground where the best racers go head-to-head, and the Street Outlaws  team is clearly making its mark. As always, we’re here at Street Outlaws Talks  to bring you the latest news and inside scoop on your favorite racers, thrilling events, and unforgettable moments. We’ll be keeping a close watch on Birdman’s recovery and any updates from the World Cup Finals, so stay tuned for more.

The buzz around the Street Outlaws No Prep Kings (NPK) series is real, and the excitement is only growing as Season 8 is set to make its mark. This new season, slated for next year, promises some thrilling changes and developments, making it a must-watch for fans of the show. Here at Street Outlaws Talks, we’re diving into what you can expect and what might be different about the upcoming season. Photo by Radical Speed New Season, New Cars, New Drivers! One of the most anticipated aspects of Season 8 is the influx of new cars and fresh faces joining the race scene. It’s not just the same old lineup—many drivers are coming in with revamped setups, updated builds, and strategies tailored to the unique challenges of no-prep racing. This fresh competition means we could see even tighter races, unexpected victories, and more intense rivalries, all while pushing the boundaries of what these cars can do. With a larger pool of drivers and vehicles, it’s likely that fans will get to see a more diverse field of cars racing head-to-head on the strip. According to insiders, the goal is to have a full field of 22-26 racers, which could set up for some jaw-dropping showdowns on race day. Track Bookings and Schedule News As of now, it's confirmed that No Prep Kings  has already secured tracks for the upcoming season. The finalized schedule should be out soon, so fans won’t have to wait much longer to mark their calendars. This is great news for die-hard followers who plan their year around these events. From what we’ve gathered, the series plans to hit some fan-favorite tracks while also exploring new ones, keeping the competition fresh and challenging. Photo by Radical Speed TV, YouTube, or Live Feed: Where to Watch? While fans have questions about how Season 8 will be broadcast, the production team seems to be considering all options. There's speculation about whether the series will air on TV, continue with YouTube recaps, or even offer live-streamed events as they did earlier this year. Street Outlaws Talks  will be keeping an eye on any announcements and sharing updates as soon as they drop. Either way, you can bet there will be plenty of ways to keep up with the action. Racing Changes: Reviving Friday Night Action One of the biggest critiques from fans has been the lack of Friday night excitement. Previously, Fridays hosted some thrilling events like the Team Attack  or Grade Eight , but in the latest seasons, there’s been a shift towards using Fridays for qualifying runs and ladder decisions. While these elements are crucial for Saturday’s main event, fans have voiced their desire for more on-track action to kick off the weekend. We’re hoping to see Friday nights brought back to their former glory with events that truly set the tone for the weekend. Whether it’s bringing back Team Attack , a special bracket-style competition, or even something entirely new, there’s a real opportunity to keep the Friday crowd on the edge of their seats. Should ETs Be Posted? Another hot topic among fans is the idea of posting ETs (elapsed times). For those unfamiliar, ETs show exactly how fast a car runs the strip, and many fans would love to see these times displayed. While the traditional approach in no-prep racing avoids emphasizing ETs to keep a street-racing vibe, there’s growing interest in seeing what these beasts can actually do under race conditions. Photo by Radical Speed It would be interesting to have these times displayed, especially during Friday night sessions, to showcase what different cars and setups are capable of on a no-prep surface. While Saturdays are all about competition and winning, displaying Friday times could add a fresh dimension to the event, allowing fans to geek out over the numbers while still enjoying the thrill of the unknown on Saturdays. Final Thoughts No Prep Kings continues to evolve and adapt with each new season, and Season 8 looks set to bring exciting changes and improvements. With new racers, upgraded cars, more racing action on Fridays, and potentially posted ETs, it’s shaping up to be a season fans won’t want to miss. Here at Street Outlaws Talks, we’ll keep you updated on all things No Prep Kings. From schedule announcements to behind-the-scenes insights, make sure you’re following along with us for the latest news. Get ready for another action-packed season, and let’s see what surprises Season 8 has in store!

The Street Outlaws No Prep Elite Series just concluded its latest season, delivering one of the most intense and unpredictable races we've seen in a long time. As the season came to a close, Shawn Ellington solidified his position as the top dog, leaving fans and competitors in awe of his dedication and skill. Let’s dive into how the final standings played out and what this means for the world of No Prep racing. Photo by Street Outlaws Live The Final Standings: A Look at the Top Racers After the dust settled, Shawn Ellington  emerged as the undisputed champion of the No Prep Elite Series, finishing with an impressive 235 points . His consistency and ability to adapt to every challenge thrown his way made him a force to be reckoned with. Following closely behind, Robin Roberts  secured the runner-up spot with 190 points , showcasing his mettle and determination throughout the season. Scott Taylor  claimed the third spot with 180 points , while Clay Cole  surged to fourth with 165 points . It’s been fascinating to watch how Clay went from being further back in previous seasons to fighting his way to the top. Jim Howe  rounded out the top five, closing the season with 160 points . Photo by Street Outlaws No Prep Talk The remaining leaderboard features a mix of familiar faces and up-and-comers. Racers like Giuseppe Gentile, Paige Coughlin, Ryan Martin, Justin Swanstrom, and Kye Kelley  all tied for the 11th spot . It’s worth noting that these racers, who were once dominating in other No Prep King (NPK) seasons, had a much more challenging time this season. Meanwhile, newer names like Kayla Morton, Jeff Lutz, and Bobby Ducote  continued to make waves in the series. A Tough Season for the No Prep Kings Interestingly, the standings paint a clear picture of how different and challenging this season was compared to previous No Prep King (NPK) seasons. Racers like Ryan Martin  and Justin Swanstrom —who have historically been powerhouses—found themselves lower in the standings, highlighting the increasing competitiveness of the No Prep Elite Series. Even without traditional qualifiers, racing the top 16 every event proved to be grueling. Every driver in this series brought their A-game, pushing their cars to the absolute limit. The Rise of Shawn Ellington: The New King of No Prep Shawn Ellington’s journey this season was nothing short of remarkable. Known for his consistent runs, he not only dominated the No Prep Elite standings but also finished strong in the overall NPK points race. His climb to the top wasn’t an overnight achievement. In fact, when Ellington joined NPK in Season 4 , he faced one setback after another. His rookie season was a tough learning experience, and he continued to face challenges in Season 5 . But instead of being deterred, Ellington and his team went back to the drawing board and came back stronger for Season 6 , finishing third or fourth overall. Photo by Street Outlaws Live This season, however, was his breakthrough moment. Despite enduring a major setback when his engine was destroyed just two weeks before the finale, Shawn bounced back with a new motor and an unshakable focus. His resilience and relentless drive allowed him to overcome every challenge, culminating in his well-earned title as the No Prep Elite Series Champion. What’s Next for No Prep Racing? With such a dramatic and unpredictable season behind us, the future of the No Prep Elite Series is more exciting than ever. Will Ellington continue his reign next year, or will one of the other top contenders like Robin Roberts or Scott Taylor step up to the plate? Or perhaps we’ll see new names rise to the challenge, shaking up the leaderboard once again. One thing’s for sure—this isn’t the last we’ll hear from the current champion. The racing community is buzzing, and the stakes are only going to get higher from here. As we look ahead to next season, fans can expect even more intense competition, new rivalries, and jaw-dropping performances from their favorite racers. Final Thoughts This season was a wild ride, filled with highs, lows, and unforgettable moments. Shawn Ellington  has proven that he’s not only a force on the track but a dedicated racer who knows how to overcome adversity. With the competition heating up and the No Prep Elite Series gaining momentum, the future of Street Outlaws racing looks brighter than ever. Keep an eye on our website, StreetOutlawsTalks.com , for more updates, exclusive insights, and behind-the-scenes content from the world of No Prep racing. Stay tuned because we’re just getting started!

In the high-octane world of street racing, the name Murder Nova  is synonymous with speed, skill, and relentless determination. Recently, racing fans witnessed an unforgettable moment as Sean Ellington, better known as Murder Nova, claimed the title of 2024 No Prep Kings Season Seven Champion . This achievement isn’t just another win—it's a significant milestone that further cements Murder Nova’s place among the elite in no prep racing. Photo by Tha Track Hustler$ The Journey to Victory Murder Nova’s path to the championship was intense, culminating in a semi-final clash that took an unexpected turn. Jim Howe, one of Murder Nova's toughest competitors, faced catastrophic mechanical issues, blowing a blower off his car. This setback prevented Jim from making the call for the semi-finals, handing Murder Nova a bye run that sealed the championship. While fans would have loved to see these two powerhouses face off, the result secured Murder Nova’s well-earned victory. However, it wasn’t just luck that led Murder Nova to victory. His consistent performance and skill throughout the season kept him at the top of the standings in both No Prep Kings and No Prep Elite divisions. This consistency speaks volumes about his driving prowess and the reliability of his machine. Challenges Faced by Competitors While Murder Nova celebrated his victory, the journey was far more tumultuous for his competitors, particularly Jim Howe. Known for having one of the fastest cars on the track, Jim has been plagued by reliability issues throughout the season. Just last week, he suffered a major engine failure that destroyed the block, forcing him to compete with damaged pistons against Robin Roberts. Repeated mechanical breakdowns raise questions about car preparation and durability, even for the fastest cars on the circuit. Photo by Radical Speed Jim’s story highlights a crucial point in no prep racing: it's not just about speed but also about keeping the car reliable on race day. Despite his car's tremendous power, recurring issues prevented Jim from maintaining the consistency needed to secure the championship. Paige Coughlin: A Rising Star But it wasn’t just about Murder Nova’s win; the finals also showcased the impressive talent of Paige Coughlin . Facing Murder Nova in the finals, Paige proved herself to be a serious contender. She defeated notable racers like Scott Taylor and Justin Swanstrom, establishing herself as a rising force in the no prep world. Her victory over key competitors, especially Scott Taylor, was a testament to her skills and her car’s performance on the day. Paige’s path to the finals saw her taking down major names in the No Prep Kings circuit, proving that she is a driver to watch. Her car was performing flawlessly, and many believe it’s just a matter of time before she clinches a championship of her own. The Future of No Prep Racing As the dust settles from this championship event, the racing community is abuzz with anticipation for what lies ahead. Murder Nova’s triumph was a defining moment, but the rise of talented drivers like Paige Coughlin signals an exciting future for no prep racing. The competition continues to heat up, and fans can look forward to more electrifying races in the coming seasons.

Hey gearheads! You know that moment in racing when everything goes quiet, and it feels like time slows down? The engines hush, the crowd holds its breath, and then bam—the tires scream, rubber burns, and the car shoots down the track, leaving nothing but smoke and excitement in its wake. That’s exactly the kind of energy sweeping through the world of street racing right now. Why? Because Big Chief is back! Yes, you read that right. The man, the myth, the legend is making his thunderous return, and fans of Street Outlaws are buzzing with anticipation about what comes next. Photo by Big Chief 405  But hold up—before we dive into what’s ahead, let’s rewind a bit. Big Chief, aka Justin Shearer, isn’t just any street racer. He’s a living legend in the underground racing scene. Born and raised in Oklahoma, a place where the winds blow hard and the streets demand respect, Big Chief wasn’t just destined for speed—he commanded  it. His journey started on the iconic Route 66, where his passion for cars shifted from childhood dreams into a full-blown obsession. Big Chief’s story with Street Outlaws  began in 2013 when the show hit the airwaves, taking the underground racing world to millions of fans. From the get-go, Big Chief didn’t just compete—he dominated. With daring moves, relentless passion, and a genius for racing strategy, he didn’t just climb to the top; he owned  it. Chief became more than a competitor—he became an icon and a mentor to racers across the globe. When it comes to street racing royalty, Big Chief wears the crown. Photo by Big Chief 405  However, even the kings of the asphalt jungle need a break sometimes. After years of dominating the streets and TV screens, Big Chief took a step back. Call it personal growth, a need to recalibrate, or just life taking a new direction—it was a moment for Chief to focus on himself. He navigated major life changes, including his relationship with Alicia, the mother of his two kids, and starting a new chapter with Jackie. Behind the scenes, he faced some creative differences and friction with the Street Outlaws  production team, leading to his temporary exit from the show. But even while away, Big Chief wasn’t idle. Far from it. During his break from Street Outlaws , he poured his energy into his passion project, Midwest Street Cars , which became a haven for gearheads and innovators. He also launched a YouTube channel, sharing his behind-the-scenes wisdom and giving fans a peek into his world. Through it all, he kept his passion for speed and street racing alive. Photo by Big Chief 405  Now, after taking the time he needed, Big Chief is gearing up for a roaring return. Fans across the globe are waiting on the edge of their seats, and trust us—it’s not just Big Chief hopping back into the driver’s seat. This is the resurgence of something bigger, a rekindling of the wild energy that made Street Outlaws  so addictive in the first place. It’s not just about one man returning to the track; it’s about reclaiming a legacy. When Big Chief revs those engines again, it won’t just be a comeback—it’ll be a statement. A reminder of why he’s the king of street racing. And if you’ve been missing that pulse-pounding adrenaline that only Big Chief can bring, now’s the time to get excited. This comeback promises to be bigger, faster, and louder than ever before. Photo by Big Chief 405  At Street Outlaws Talks , we’re as pumped as you are to see Big Chief back in action.

Welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks, your go-to source for all things Street Outlaws and No Prep racing! Today, we’re diving into one of the hottest topics around—who's in the hunt to win the coveted No Prep Elite Championship and which drivers still have a fighting chance. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Seven Drivers Still in the Hunt As we approach the final rounds, the competition is heating up! Seven racers still have a mathematical chance to clinch the No Prep Elite Championship: Robin Roberts Scott Taylor Shawn Ellington Kye Kelley Ryan Martin Jim Howe Justin Swanstrom Let’s take a closer look at the drivers, their matchups, and what needs to happen for them to take home the big trophy. The Key Races: First Round Showdowns Robin Roberts  is in a strong position, but there’s still a lot that can go down in the first round. Robin will be up against either Nate Sayler  or Chris Rankin , depending on how a race-off between the two turns out. Nate, in particular, has shown the kind of speed that could threaten Robin’s chances. For any of the other contenders to have a shot, they’re counting on Robin losing early. Scott Taylor , another top contender, faces a familiar opponent in Kye Kelley —and this one is bound to be a nail-biter. Historically, there have been moments when friends racing for the championship offered each other a free pass. This leads to the big question: Will Kye hold back to give Scott a better shot at the title? Fans have seen both outcomes in previous seasons, so this one could go either way. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Shawn Ellington  will face Jeff Lutz , another instance of close friends going head-to-head. The burning question: Will Jeff give Shawn a full-blown race or a freebie? We’ve seen drivers prioritize their teammate’s championship hopes before, but Jeff’s competitive streak might mean he goes all out this time. The Must-Win Scenarios: Cole vs. Martin In perhaps the most critical first-round matchup, Clay Cole  will be going head-to-head with Ryan Martin . It’s simple here: the loser is out of the title race. Both drivers have had a strong season, and Klay has already proven he can beat Ryan. If Ryan wants to stay in the hunt, he’ll likely need to bring out the “gray car” and give it everything he’s got. But in this unpredictable sport, anything can happen. Jim Howe's Tough Road Jim Howe  finds himself in a tight spot. He’s set to face either Chris Rankin  or Nate Sayler , both formidable opponents. Chris, in particular, has been a strong performer and could potentially knock Jim out. However, with Nate’s impressive speed, there’s a solid chance he might advance to face Jim, making it an even tougher battle. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Justin Swanstrom vs. Paige Coughlin Rounding out the lineup, Justin Swanstrom  is matched up against Paige Coughlin . Paige has been a fierce competitor, and Justin will need to bring his A-game to stay in contention. However, if Justin gets past the first round, it could be a game-changer in the title race. What to Expect on Race Day There are so many moving pieces to consider, especially when it comes to first-round matchups. The weather forecast adds another layer of complexity, with temperatures expected to hit 90°F and a DA (Density Altitude) of around 3,000 ft. Despite the Texas Motorplex being a good track, these hot conditions are bound to create challenges. Once the evening cools things down, expect the track to get faster—further shaking up the competition. Will we see surprises or strategy in the first round?  It’s not uncommon to see spoilers or freebies in a race where every round matters. It all boils down to Saturday night’s races, and it’s going to be intense. Fans are eager to see whether friends racing each other will go all-out or opt for strategic passes to give their buddies a chance at the championship. Photo by Nate Sayler Racing Final Thoughts The No Prep Elite Championship isn’t just about who’s the fastest—it’s about strategy, pressure, and seizing the moment when it matters most. With seven drivers still in contention, it all comes down to Saturday night’s first-round matchups. Whether you’re cheering for Robin, Scott, Shawn, Ryan, Jim, or Justin, one thing’s for sure: this championship is far from decided. So buckle up and stay tuned for the latest updates and analysis here at Street Outlaws Talks. We’ll be covering the action every step of the way as these drivers battle it out for the No Prep Elite Championship! That’s it for today’s breakdown! Who do you think will take home the title?

The name Lizzy Musi is synonymous with power, perseverance, and breaking barriers in the world of drag racing. While being the daughter of legendary engine builder and drag racer Pat Musi came with its own set of expectations, Lizzy wasn’t one to ride on her father’s coattails. She carved out her path, becoming a champion driver and a trailblazer for women in motorsports. From the tracks of the PDRA to the reality spotlight of Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings, Lizzy’s journey was filled with record-breaking performances, emotional victories, and inspiring moments of resilience. Photo by Radical Speed Rising to the Challenge in PDRA Pro Nitrous Lizzy’s drag racing story started with humble beginnings in Jr. Dragsters , where she learned the basics of the sport. But she had her eyes set on something bigger. Under the guidance of her father, she graduated to Top Sportsman  and then made her mark in PDRA Pro Nitrous . This is where Lizzy Musi’s name started to gain weight in the drag racing world. Behind the wheel of Frank Brandao’s “King Kong 5” Dodge Stratus —the same car her dad famously piloted in NHRA Pro Mod —Lizzy rewrote history by becoming the first woman to win in the Pro Nitrous class at Virginia Motorsports Park  in 2014. Lizzy’s tenure in Pro Nitrous was nothing short of extraordinary. She racked up a total of five event wins, placing her fifth on the class’s all-time win list and earning her third place on the all-time low qualifier list. Her class speed record of 209.23 MPH  set in October 2018 still stands as a testament to her skill and tenacity. Trailblazing on Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings The next chapter in Lizzy’s career was her entry into the popular Discovery series Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings  (NPK). With her father’s horsepower under the hood, Lizzy made history once again, becoming the first woman to win in the NPK series. And she didn’t stop there. Lizzy became the first driver in the series to win three consecutive events, cementing her place as one of the most formidable competitors on the circuit. Over her career in NPK, Lizzy achieved 136 round wins , seven invitational victories , and 12 invitational final-round appearances . She remains one of the most accomplished drivers in NPK history. Battling Cancer with Unwavering Determination In April 2023, Lizzy revealed in a candid YouTube video that she had been diagnosed with triple-negative stage 4 breast cancer—a fast and aggressive form of the disease. This news stunned the racing community and her legion of fans, but Lizzy’s response was nothing short of inspiring. Instead of stepping away from racing, she chose to keep doing what she loved, with her doctors’ approval.

Her resilience was rewarded when she won her first NPK event of the season in Tulsa  with her new “Bonnie 2.0” ’69 Camaro . Her victory was emotional and well-earned, as Lizzy fought not just to win races but to prove that she still had the fire within her despite the immense challenges she faced. Reflecting on her victory, Lizzy expressed gratitude: “I’m very thankful and blessed that I can keep doing what I’m doing. It hasn’t put me down. I still have the fire in me. I can still do what I do, and it hasn’t changed.” Lizzy’s Final Battle and Lasting Legacy In 2024, Lizzy’s battle took a turn as the cancer spread to her liver and lymph nodes. After trying various treatments in the U.S., Lizzy made the decision to seek specialized care in Germany. She was determined to explore every avenue in her fight, showing the same drive and fearlessness that characterized her racing career. Unfortunately, despite her courageous efforts, Lizzy Musi passed away on June 28, 2024 , at just 33 years old. Her passing left a deep void in the drag racing community, but her legacy remains etched in the sport’s history. Photo by Radical Speed Lizzy’s memorial service, held on July 2, 2024 , was attended by her family, friends, and fellow racers from across the racing world. Her influence extended beyond the NPK and PDRA ranks, with racers from all classes honoring her memory with heartfelt messages on their cars. Remembering a Champion Lizzy Musi was more than a talented drag racer—she was an icon of resilience, determination, and passion. She inspired countless young women to chase their dreams and showed everyone that obstacles are meant to be faced head-on. Her achievements on the track, combined with her fight against cancer, leave a legacy of courage and perseverance that will continue to resonate with fans and fellow racers for years to come.

Hello, Street Outlaws fans! Welcome to Street Outlaws Talks, where we dive into all the intense action and breaking news from the No Prep Elite series and more. Today, let’s break down one of the biggest potential championship spoilers of the season: Nate Sayler. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Nate has been a powerhouse this season, taking out some of the top contenders and solidifying his place as a serious threat in the championship battle. Recently, he faced off against Murder Nova in Rockingham and came out victorious. At that time, Murder Nova held the number one spot in points, making Nate’s victory even more impactful. But his run didn’t stop there. Last week, he squared off against Clay Cole—another top contender—and sent him packing in the very first round. The Possible Showdown with Robin Roberts Now, all eyes are on the finale. There’s a strong possibility that Nate could end up racing Robin Roberts. But there’s a twist—Nate will first need to get past Chris Rankin. If something happens and Nate takes the win, he might find himself going head-to-head with the formidable Robin Roberts. Now, we all know Robin’s car has been absolutely dominant in recent races, making him arguably the fastest contender in the No Prep Elite right now. However, Nate has a real shot at shaking things up. His car has shown impressive speed, and if anyone has a chance at dethroning Robin, Nate might be the guy to do it. Robin’s car has been on fire, but even the fastest cars can fall when they face a determined competitor with a well-tuned machine. The Stakes Are High If Nate manages to take out Robin Roberts in the first round, it could completely shift the dynamics of the championship. Right now, if Robin advances even a few rounds, he’ll likely seal the deal for the championship. But if he gets taken out early, the entire playing field opens up for other top contenders. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  This could give a lifeline to racers like Justin Swanstrom, Jim Howe, Ryan Martin, Clay Cole, and a handful of others. With six other racers still mathematically in the running, anything could happen if Robin falters. Jim Howe’s chances are also slim, but as we’ve seen, slim chances don’t mean impossible outcomes in the world of No Prep racing. A Rematch for the Ages? The last time Nate and Robin faced off, Robin came out on top. However, as any Street Outlaws fan knows, each race is a new opportunity, and the Texas finale promises to be one of the most exciting yet. Texas is set to bring some challenging conditions, with temperatures predicted to hit 90°F on Saturday. This means the track may not be in peak condition in the earlier rounds, making it a wild card factor for all the racers. Should Nate advance to face Robin Roberts in the first round, it would be a rematch with everything on the line. But even if Nate doesn’t get to square off against Robin, there’s another tough competitor waiting in the wings: Jim Howe. Jim has one of the fastest cars in the series, and he’s proven time and again that he can deliver under pressure. Recently, Jim made it to the finals against Robin Roberts, even with a hurt motor, demonstrating just how much of a force he is on the track. A Finale to Remember So, what’s going to happen? Well, that’s why we’re all going to be glued to the screen for the Texas finale! The stakes couldn’t be higher, and with a forecast calling for a hot Saturday, track conditions are going to play a crucial role in the outcome. Rockingham and Steele may have given racers some consistent tracks to work with, but Texas is shaping up to be a whole new ballgame. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Whether Nate ends up racing Robin or Jim, the finale is going to be a spectacle to remember. Can Nate pull off the ultimate spoiler and upset the championship race? Or will Robin Roberts prove too tough to beat on his quest to seal the deal? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: this is the kind of high-stakes drama that makes the No Prep Elite series so thrilling to follow. Stay tuned to Street Outlaws Talks for more updates, race recaps, and all the action from your favorite Street Outlaws series. Final Thoughts With so much on the line, the Texas finale promises to be a true test of skill, strategy, and nerves. And as we’ve seen, anything can happen in No Prep racing. Nate Sayler has the potential to shake things up in a big way, and his matchup with the top contenders could be the game-changer of the season. What do you think? Will Nate pull off the upset of the season, or is Robin Roberts simply too fast for anyone to beat?

Hello, Street Outlaws fans! Welcome to StreetOutlawsTalks.com , your one-stop source for all things No Prep Kings and the latest news from the Street Outlaws universe. The 2024 No Prep Kings Championship is coming down to the wire, and the excitement is building as the competition heads into its final stretch. With only one race left, let's break down where the drivers stand and who still has a shot at the championship! Photo by Robin Roberts Racing  Robin Roberts Takes the Lead After Steel City Showdown This past weekend's race in Steel City was a game-changer. Robin Roberts took home the win, defeating Jim Howe in a heated final round, and this victory propelled him to the top of the points standings. Robin now leads the pack with a solid 30-point advantage over his closest rivals. But with double points on the line in the upcoming finale in Texas, the championship is still up for grabs! Photo by Street Outlaws No Prep Talk The Top 7 Drivers Still in the Hunt Only the top seven drivers have a mathematical chance to clinch the 2024 No Prep Kings Championship. Here's a breakdown of the standings and their odds of taking home the crown: Robin Roberts  – Sitting pretty in the number one spot, Robin has been the most consistent driver on the circuit. His car has proven to be both fast and reliable, and his lead means he’s the man to beat. However, for him to lose the championship, he'd have to go out early in Texas, which doesn’t seem likely given his current performance. Scott Taylor  – Coming in at number two, Scott Taylor has been impressive all season long. He made it to the semifinals in Steel City, keeping his title hopes alive. But with a 30-point gap, Scott will need a near-perfect weekend and hope that Robin falters in the early rounds. Shawn Ellington (Murder Nova)  – Shawn is still in the running, but like Scott, he needs a strong performance in Texas and some help from Robin's opponents. His car has been consistent, but can he catch up to the leader when it matters most? Clay Cole  – Clay is hanging on to his championship hopes, but it’s a slim chance. If he doesn't make it past the first round in Texas, his dream of winning the championship is over. Every race counts from here on out. Ryan Martin  – Like Clay, Ryan is in a must-win situation. If either driver fails to advance past the early rounds, their shot at the title is done. Jim Howe  – Jim came so close in Steel City, but his runner-up finish leaves him with a slim chance of catching Robin. He'll need everything to go right in Texas, but if there’s one thing we know about Jim, it’s that he’ll fight until the end. Justin Swanstrom  – Swanstrom rounds out the top seven, but his championship hopes are on life support. He needs to win the event and hope the leaders stumble. While it's a long shot, anything can happen in No Prep Kings. Texas Finale: All Eyes on Robin Roberts As we head into the final race of the season in Texas, all eyes are on Robin Roberts. With his 30-point lead, he’s the heavy favorite to take home the championship. But the Texas track is known for its speed, and with double points on the line, anything can happen. Robin’s car has been the fastest and most consistent this season, but if he stumbles early, Scott, Shawn, and the others could swoop in and steal the title. Photo by Radical Speed In Texas, Robin is set to face either Nate Sayler or Chris Frank in the first round. Nate, despite losing to Robin in Steel City, has a car that could potentially outrun him. Chris, on the other hand, might not have the speed to match up against the championship leader. The first-round matchup will be crucial, not just for Robin, but for the entire championship picture. Who Needs to Step Up in Texas? For Scott, Shawn, Clay, Ryan, Jim, and Justin, the formula is simple: win, and hope Robin gets knocked out early. If Robin wins his first round, it will effectively end the championship hopes of most of his challengers. Scott and Shawn are within striking distance, but 30 points is still a significant gap, even with double points in play. Photo by Radical Speed Final Thoughts The 2024 No Prep Kings season has been one of the most exciting yet, and the upcoming finale in Texas is shaping up to be a must-watch event. Robin Roberts holds a commanding lead, but with the unpredictability of No Prep racing, the title race is far from over. Will Robin continue his dominance and clinch the championship, or will one of the challengers rise to the occasion and snatch victory at the last moment? Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com  for more updates as we approach the final showdown in Texas. We’ll be covering all the action, drama, and upsets as the 2024 No Prep Kings champion is crowned.

As a teenager, he juggled school with jobs like milking cows and bagging groceries, often waking up before dawn. Despite the chaos at home, Kye excelled in school, graduating from South Pike Senior High School with excellent grades.
