- Street Outlaws - No Prep Kings: A New Chapter in 2025?
Welcome back, fellow racing enthusiasts! We've got some exciting news to discuss about the return of Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings (NPK) to television in 2025. For those who’ve been keeping a close eye on the latest updates from the racing community, this might not come as a total surprise, but it's certainly something to get revved up about! Photo by Street Outlaws Live Over the past few weeks, several key figures in the No Prep Kings scene have dropped hints about the show making a comeback on TV next year. While there hasn't been an official announcement yet, the signs are strong enough to believe that something big is in the works. What Happened to NPK on Discovery Channel? One of the biggest questions on everyone's mind is where NPK will air, especially after Discovery Channel dropped the series and didn’t broadcast Season 6. That was a major disappointment for fans who were eagerly waiting to see the latest season. The lack of live feeds from recent races only fuels the speculation that a new television deal might be in the pipeline. Despite the setback with Discovery, it’s clear that NPK has a dedicated fanbase. The stands are always packed with fans, and the energy at these events is electric. The only time attendance dips is when races get postponed due to weather, forcing them to move to Sunday—a tough day for many who have to work the next day. But even then, the support remains strong, proving that NPK is far from losing its appeal. Photo by Street Outlaws Live What Could Be Next for No Prep Kings? Given the popularity and success of the No Prep Kings series, it wouldn’t be surprising if another network picks it up. NPK has become a cornerstone of the street racing community, and its potential return to TV is something fans are eagerly anticipating. Despite what the naysayers might think, the series has plenty of fuel left in the tank. There’s also buzz about the return of street racing, which could add another layer of excitement to the mix. While it might not feature the big tire cars we’ve seen in the past, the possibility of small tire races has fans buzzing. And who wouldn’t want to see the legendary 405 crew back on the streets, doing what they do best? Looking Forward As we await official word on the future of NPK, one thing is clear: the love for this series isn’t going anywhere. Whether it’s on a new network or through different formats, the racing community is ready to support NPK and everything it represents. Photo by Street Outlaws Live Here at Street Outlaws Talks, we're just as excited as you are to see what 2025 has in store. We’ll keep you updated on all the latest news and developments, so be sure to stay tuned. Until then, keep your engines running, and let’s hope for some thrilling races ahead!

- Scott Taylor’s Remarkable Comeback: A Deep Dive into His No Prep Kings Performance
Welcome back, Street Outlaws fans! Today, we’re diving into Scott Taylor’s incredible turnaround this season on the No Prep Kings (NPK) circuit. If you’ve been keeping up with the action, you know Scott’s been on a rollercoaster ride this year, making some bold moves with his car that have paid off big time. Let’s break down what’s been happening and why Scott is now a force to be reckoned with on the track. Photo by Scott Taylor Motorsports The Season’s Bold Beginning Scott Taylor kicked off the season with a twin-turbo setup—a move that had many in the racing community scratching their heads. While twin turbos are known for their power potential, they can be notoriously tricky to manage on the unpredictable No Prep Kings tracks. The lack of consistent traction can make it hard to harness all that power effectively. As expected, Scott faced some challenges early on, struggling to keep up with the ProCharger and screw-blown cars that were dominating the field. Mid-Season Upgrades: The Game-Changer Recognizing that the twin-turbo setup wasn’t cutting it, Scott made a pivotal decision during the mid-season break. He swapped out the turbos for a ProCharger, a move that immediately brought him closer to the competition. But Scott didn’t stop there—he took the time to shed some serious weight off his car, installing a brand new front end, new doors, and even doing some front-half work. These upgrades weren’t just about making the car faster; they were about making it more consistent—a crucial factor in No Prep racing. Photo by Scott Taylor Motorsports The Return: A Show of Power and Consistency When Scott returned to the track, it was clear that the upgrades had made a difference. In one of the most talked-about races of the season, Scott went head-to-head with Murder Nova—one of the fastest and most consistent competitors out there. To everyone’s surprise, Scott emerged victorious, proving that his new setup wasn’t just competitive; it was a threat to the top racers in the series. Even though Scott had a hiccup in the first round and later lost to Ron Roberts—currently the most consistent driver in the field—the fact that he was able to outpace Murder Nova speaks volumes about his car’s new potential. Ron Roberts’ car has been nearly unbeatable this season, so Scott’s performance against him still stands as a testament to his rapid improvement. The Road Ahead: Can Scott Taylor Win an NPK Event? Looking ahead, there’s every reason to believe that Scott Taylor is on the brink of securing an NPK event win this season. While he hasn’t yet clinched an Invitational victory, his recent performances suggest that it’s only a matter of time. Scott is currently sitting at number eight in the points standings—not far off from the leaders. With three races left in the regular season and the high-stakes No Prep Elite series just around the corner, the door is wide open for Scott to make a serious bid for the championship. What’s even more exciting is that the upcoming races will offer two-and-a-half points and a double points race, giving Scott and other top contenders a real shot at shaking up the standings. If Scott can continue to build on his recent success and stay consistent, there’s no doubt he’ll be a contender for the title by the end of the season. Photo by Scott Taylor Motorsports Conclusion: Scott Taylor’s Future Looks Bright Scott Taylor’s journey this season is a perfect example of how determination, strategy, and the right upgrades can completely turn around a racer’s fortunes. His decision to ditch the twin turbos and invest in making his car lighter and more consistent is paying off, and it’s thrilling to watch. As we head into the final stretch of the season, all eyes will be on Scott to see if he can continue his upward trajectory and secure that coveted NPK event win. So, stay tuned, Street Outlaws fans! Scott Taylor’s story is far from over, and we can’t wait to see what he does next.

- Monza's Chevelle Finds a New Owner: What’s Next for the Legendary Car in No Prep Kings Season 8?
Hello, Street Outlaws fans! We've got some exciting news to share, and we know you'll be just as thrilled as we are. For those who have been following the No Prep Kings series, you might remember Monza's stunning Chevelle—a beast of a car that has been a staple in the racing scene. Well, as much as it may surprise you, the Chevelle has found a new owner, and it’s set to make a grand return in Season 8 of No Prep Kings! Photo by Team Monza 405 The Big Reveal: Who's the New Owner? After a lot of speculation and anticipation, the new owner of Monza's iconic Chevelle has finally been revealed. Say hello to Chevy Reeves! Yes, you heard that right. Chevy Reeves is now the proud owner of this monstrous machine, and we can't wait to see what he brings to the table. But that’s not all—the car has also been given a new name, "The Jetty." It’s a cool name for a car that has been a fan favorite since its early days, and we’re sure it’s going to turn heads on the track. A Closer Look at The Jetty For those unfamiliar, Monza's Chevelle is no ordinary car. This is a vehicle that has been built to dominate the No Prep Kings scene. It boasts an MH7 Proline Hemi engine, one of the top engines in the game, with a track record of winning a majority of NPK events. The car also features a Cameron Johnson-built chassis, known for its reliability and performance on the track. With such a powerful combination under the hood, we can only imagine what Chevy Reeves will be able to accomplish in Season 8. Although Monza will no longer be behind the wheel, there’s a sense of excitement in the air as we anticipate how Reeves will handle this monster of a car. Photo by Dean Images What This Means for No Prep Kings Season 8 As we look forward to the upcoming season, one thing is clear: No Prep Kings is not going anywhere. Despite some rumors and negativity circulating about the future of the series, the fans have spoken, and the stands continue to be packed at every event. The introduction of new racers like Chevy Reeves ensures that the competition remains fierce and fresh. The No Prep Kings series has always been about bringing in new talent and giving racers a shot at glory. With a reduced field of cars compared to previous seasons, the stage is set for new faces to make their mark. Reeves’ entry into the series with The Jetty is a perfect example of how No Prep Kings continues to evolve and excite its fanbase. Looking Ahead As the new owner of one of the most recognizable cars in the series, Chevy Reeves has some big shoes to fill. But with a car like The Jetty and a track record like his, there’s little doubt that he’ll be a formidable contender in Season 8. We at Street Outlaws Talks can’t wait to see how he performs, and we’ll be cheering him on every step of the way. Photo by Team Monza 405 So, buckle up, Street Outlaws fans! Season 8 of No Prep Kings is shaping up to be another thrilling ride, and we’re here for all of it. Be sure to stay tuned to Street Outlaws Talks for more updates, insider info, and all things Street Outlaws. Until next time, keep those engines revving and the rubber burning!
- Big Upsets in No Prep Kings Washington: Round One & Winners Bracket Update
Hello, Street Outlaws Talks fans! The No Prep Kings (NPK) event in Washington has been nothing short of electrifying, with some major upsets and unexpected results in the first round. The competition is heating up, and we’re here to give you the lowdown on all the action from the winners bracket. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Jim Howe vs. Jeff Lutz: A Battle with Bad Blood The match-up between Jim Howe and Jeff Lutz was one everyone had their eyes on, not just because of the racing, but because of the lingering tension between these two. After a bit of back-and-forth in the past, this race was their chance to settle the score on the track. Jim Howe, who got lucky yesterday with the Lucky Chip, wasn’t leaving anything to chance this time. After a late-night engine rebuild (talk about dedication!), Jim came out swinging and took down Jeff Lutz in a thrilling race. It was a well-deserved win for Jim, who’s had more than his fair share of bad luck in NPK. Here’s hoping this victory helps put the bad blood behind them. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Kye Kelly vs. Cole Pesz: A Close Call Kye Kelly is a name everyone fears on the track, but newcomer Cole Pesz gave him a run for his money. Cole’s car, which is practically brand new, has only a handful of passes under its belt. Despite that, Cole nearly pulled off an upset against Kye, who’s got one of the fastest cars in NPK. Cole may not have taken the win, but he certainly turned some heads. Watch out for him in the coming rounds—he’s only going to get faster. Robin Roberts Takes Down Daddy Dave In another big race, Robin Roberts managed to edge out Daddy Dave. Both drivers are seasoned veterans, and this was a race that could have gone either way. Robin’s car was dialed in perfectly, while Daddy Dave struggled to find his rhythm. In the end, Robin crossed the line first, adding another impressive win to his NPK resume. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Murder Nova vs. Justin Swanstrom: A One-Sided Affair Murder Nova, a fan favorite, had a relatively easy time against Justin Swanstrom. Justin’s car didn’t even get off the line properly, handing the win to Murder Nova without much of a fight. It’s always disappointing to see a race end like that, but as we know, anything can happen in No Prep racing. Disco Dean vs. Chris Rankin: New Cars, New Challenges Disco Dean went head-to-head with Chris Rankin, and it was clear that Chris is still working out the kinks in his new setup. Despite the struggles, Chris put up a solid effort, but Disco’s car was just too fast. Disco has been on a tear lately, and his car looks to be one of the top contenders in the field. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography The Slowest Race: Scott Taylor vs. Jerry Bird Not every race can be a barn burner, and that was certainly the case with Scott Taylor and Jerry Bird. Both cars seemed to have issues after the 330-foot mark, resulting in one of the slowest races we’ve seen in a while. It’s unclear what happened, but neither car was able to make a full pass, leaving fans scratching their heads. Paige Coughlin Stuns Ryan Martin The biggest upset of the day came when Paige Coughlin took down Ryan Martin. Ryan is usually a lock to go deep in these events, but something went wrong just after the 60-foot mark, and his car never recovered. Paige, who has been steadily improving with every race, took full advantage of the situation and cruised to a victory. This is a huge win for her and a reminder that in NPK, anything can happen. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Looking Forward With round one in the books, the excitement is only going to build as we move further into the competition. The drivers are pushing their cars—and themselves—to the absolute limit, and we can’t wait to see what happens next. Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com for more updates and insights as we continue to cover all the action from No Prep Kings Washington. The competition is fierce, and you won’t want to miss a single moment! Keep those engines revving, and we’ll see you at the finish line!
- Larry Larson’s Massive ProCharger Explosion and NPK Washington Update
Hello, Street Outlaws Talks community! Today, we're diving into some intense action from the No Prep Kings (NPK) event in Washington. It was a day packed with highs, lows, and some serious mechanical drama, so let’s get right into it. Photo by Radical Speed Larry Larson's ProCharger Disaster One of the biggest stories coming out of yesterday's race was Larry Larson's devastating ProCharger explosion. If you’ve been following NPK for a while, you know that ProChargers are notorious for blowing up when pushed too hard. While they make a killer product, there’s a clear warning not to overspin them. Unfortunately, it seems that rule gets ignored a bit too often in the heat of competition. We can’t say for certain if Larry overspun his, but the aftermath speaks for itself. The explosion was massive, tearing apart the front end of his nearly brand-new car. Seeing such a beautiful machine get wrecked like that is heartbreaking. But that’s the name of the game in No Prep racing—sometimes, things go from zero to disaster in the blink of an eye. Photo by Larson Race Cars More Mechanical Mayhem Larry wasn’t the only one facing trouble in Washington. JP Gentile also had a rough day, breaking his crankshaft before the first round even kicked off. That’s a tough break, especially in a competition as fierce as NPK. Jim Howe, despite getting back into the race thanks to the Lucky Chip draw, had his share of engine issues too. After pedaling in his race, he lost a rocker arm and ended up with four damaged pistons. Talk about a bad day at the office. But in true racer fashion, Jim’s team was hard at work, trying to piece the engine back together to make it to the first round today. Nate Saylor found himself in a similar situation, also rebuilding his engine overnight to stay in the fight. These racers’ dedication to getting their cars back on the track, no matter the obstacles, is nothing short of incredible. Photo by Larson Race Cars A Close Call for Murder Nova On a brighter note, we witnessed some spectacular driving yesterday, particularly from Sean Ellington, better known as Murder Nova. Sean had a close call when his car got loose and pointed straight at Daddy Dave’s ride. But if there’s one thing Sean knows how to do, it’s how to control a car under pressure. He pulled off an incredible save, sparing both his and Dave’s cars from what could have been a nasty collision. The Lucky Chip Controversy Now, let’s talk about the Lucky Chip. Love it or hate it, it’s been the talk of the town. Yesterday, Jim Howe, Alex Laughlin, and Daddy Dave all drew the Lucky Chip, getting them back into the race after losing. While it’s a second chance that some racers appreciate, others feel that once you’re out, you should stay out. This controversy has sparked quite a bit of debate, especially since JP Gentile once used the Lucky Chip to get back in and ended up winning the whole thing. It’s worth noting that in the No Prep Kings Elite class, where they run a 16-car field, the Lucky Chip rule won’t apply. So, if you’re not a fan of the chip, you’ll want to keep an eye on those Elite races. Photo by Larson Race Cars Looking Ahead As we gear up for another round of racing today, the excitement is building. With so many racers pushing their cars to the limit and beyond, who knows what will happen next? One thing’s for sure—we’ll be watching every minute of it and keeping you updated on all the action. Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com for the latest updates, recaps, and behind-the-scenes insights from the world of Street Outlaws and No Prep Kings. Let’s see who comes out on top today! Until next time, keep the pedal to the metal!
- No Prep Kings Washington Showdown and Returning Stars
As we gear up for this weekend’s race, it’s time for a quick refresher on the current point standings and what to expect on the track. The competition is fierce, and with a few key players making their return, this weekend promises to be an exhilarating one. Currently, the top spot is held by the ever-consistent Giuseppe Gentile, with Robin Roberts, Sean Ellington, Ryan Martin, and Justin Swanstrom rounding out the top five. It’s a tight race with plenty of movement possible, especially given how close the standings are from 16th to 8th place. The difference in round wins is minimal, making it entirely feasible for drivers in the lower ranks to make a significant leap with a strong performance. Photo by Stat Guy Among the notable drivers to watch is Kye Kelley, who will be debuting his brand new car. With a weight of 2735 lbs and a setup that’s been fine-tuned to a 92 over, Kelley’s new machine is set to offer him a substantial advantage if he can capitalize on its potential. His performance this weekend could shake up the standings significantly. Photo by Kye Kelley Another driver making waves is Chris Rankin, currently sitting in 21st place. He’ll be piloting his new Camaro, which could provide the boost he needs to climb the ranks. With Nate Sayler also making a return to the track after missing a few races, there’s a lot of potential for some dramatic shifts in the standings. Nate’s one of the fastest competitors out there, and his presence will definitely add some extra excitement to the mix. As it stands, getting into the top 16 for the final four races is still very much within reach for many drivers, especially with how tightly packed the points are. One strong weekend can make all the difference, so expect some high-stakes racing and strategic maneuvering as drivers push hard to improve their positions. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography With so much on the line and several key players back in action, this weekend's race is shaping up to be one for the books. Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com for all the latest updates and in-depth coverage of the action.
- Damon's Return: What to Expect from His No Prep Armageddon Comeback!
There's been plenty of buzz about Damon following his standout performance last season. Known for shaking up the field and ending up at the top of the Saturday race standings, Damon made a significant impact in the no prep world. Despite not clinching the championship, his dominance was undeniable. He finished first in round wins and proved that even with a smaller team, you can make a big splash in the sport. Photo by Dean Images Damon’s impressive run included winning two races during his first Invitational year, showcasing his skill and the power of his new combination. This season, however, he’s been noticeably absent from the No Prep Kings circuit. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news of his return, and we’ve got an exciting update. Although Damon won’t be competing in NPK this year, he’s set to make a comeback at No Prep Armageddon in September. This race is a major event in the no prep scene, known for its high stakes and fierce competition. For those who might be wondering, Damon hasn’t sold his beloved Camaro. The rumors about him parting ways with his car or moving on to other projects are unfounded. His Camaro, still equipped with that formidable big block Chevy setup, is very much in his arsenal. Photo by Dean Images Damon's ability to dominate with this controversial engine combo was impressive. The Camaro proved to be a powerhouse, and even as a smaller team, Damon’s performance was a testament to his skill and the potential of his setup. His return to racing, even if it’s not with NPK, is highly anticipated. No Prep Armageddon has been a staple in the no prep racing community since 2015. From Big Chief’s win in the inaugural event to the high-octane races of subsequent years, it’s a race that never fails to deliver. With Damon’s return, the excitement is even higher. Armageddon’s unique format, which includes a flagger instead of a traditional tree, adds an extra layer of thrill to the racing experience. Photo by Dean Images Damon’s presence at Armageddon is sure to bring some intense competition. With his Camaro ready to roll and his competitive spirit intact, it’s expected that he’ll be one of the fastest cars on the track. Fans are eager to see how he fares in this prestigious event. So, while we won’t see Damon in the NPK series this year, his return to no prep racing is a welcome sight. We’re all looking forward to watching him and his Camaro tear up the track at No Prep Armageddon. Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com for the latest updates and coverage of all the action!
- The Greatest Rivalries in Street Outlaws History!
Street Outlaws has always thrived on intense rivalries that fuel the drama and excitement of the show. From its inception, these rivalries have become an integral part of the show’s allure, drawing viewers into the heart-pounding world of street racing. Let’s take a look back at some of the most iconic rivalries that have shaped the history of Street Outlaws. The Early Days: Shawn and Dave In the early seasons, one of the first major rivalries was between Shawn and Dave. Shawn's Murder Nova and Dave's Sonoma were at the center of this clash. Dave, known for his aggressive tactics, was infamous for grenading his motor just to keep up with Shawn's competitive streak. This rivalry set the tone for the drama and high stakes that would become synonymous with the show. Video by Rush NZ Doc vs. Monza: A Hidden Gem Photo by Discovery Another memorable rivalry, though not as front-and-center as others, was between Doc and Monza. The tension escalated when Doc kept secrets about his motor, leading to Monza’s frustration and the eventual fallout. Their rivalry showcased the behind-the-scenes drama that often adds depth to these competitions. While it might not have been the most explosive rivalry, it certainly had its moments of intrigue. Kye Kelley and Scott Taylor: The NOLA Showdown Video by Discovery The NOLA Show, though short-lived, spotlighted one of the most intense rivalries between Kye Kelley and Scott Taylor. Both drivers were top contenders in the NOLA scene, and their back-and-forth battles were nothing short of electrifying. The fierce competition and high-stakes races kept fans on the edge of their seats, making this rivalry a standout in Street Outlaws history. JJ Da Boss and Birdman: A Classic Showdown Photo by Street Outlaws JJ Da Boss and Birdman had one of the most memorable rivalries, though it wasn’t always the focal point of the show. Their epic races, particularly the 1320 video of JJ Da Boss and Birdman on the streets of Tulsa, are legendary. This race, flagged by Chief, remains a favorite among fans for its sheer intensity and the dramatic clash between these two racing heavyweights. Video by Urban Hillbilly Videos Chief vs. Kye Kelley: The Ultimate Rivalry Video by Discovery Australia Without a doubt, the most riveting rivalry in Street Outlaws history is the one between Chief and Kye Kelley. This rivalry had all the elements of a classic showdown. Chief, known for his rapid ascent through the 405 list and his dominance in the early days, consistently faced off against Kye Kelley, who managed to best him time and time again. This rivalry was akin to the McGregor vs. Khabib matchup in UFC—where the established star (Chief) faced an undefeated challenger (Kye Kelley) who managed to outshine him at every turn. In terms of rivalry impact, Chief and Kye Kelley's confrontations stand out as the most defining and compelling. Their repeated matchups were filled with drama, high stakes, and unforgettable moments that have cemented their rivalry as the pinnacle of Street Outlaws lore. Conclusion Street Outlaws has given us a plethora of memorable rivalries, each adding a unique flavor to the show.

- What’s Daddy Dave Up To with the Chevy Opala? Unraveling the Mystery
Hey everyone, today we’re diving into something pretty intriguing that’s come up recently in the world of Street Outlaws. Daddy Dave, one of the standout stars of the show, recently posted some photos on social media featuring himself with a rather unusual car—a Chevy Opala. Naturally, this has sparked a flurry of speculation and questions among fans. So, let’s break down what’s going on and what it might mean for the future of Street Outlaws. Photo by Daddy Dave For those who might not be familiar, the Chevy Opala is a classic muscle car that was sold primarily in Brazil and also in Australia. It’s not a car you see every day in the U.S., making Daddy Dave’s recent posts even more fascinating. The Opala has a unique design, blending elements of American muscle with a distinct Brazilian flair. It’s definitely a cool car, but the real question is: Why is Daddy Dave posting about it? One possibility is that Daddy Dave simply bought the Opala as a fun addition to his collection. It’s an eye-catching car that would definitely turn heads at any car show or race event. If Dave just got it for kicks, it’s still pretty exciting, but it might not explain the full context of why he’s sharing it with his fans right now. Photo by Daddy Dave Here’s where things get interesting. There’s speculation that Dave’s post could be teasing something much bigger. No Prep Kings just wrapped up its latest season, and there’s been talk about future events and new locations. Could Daddy Dave be hinting at a new venture? One theory is that we might be seeing Street Outlaws or No Prep Kings heading to Brazil. Dave and Shawn have previously made trips to Brazil, and this could be a hint that a new international chapter is on the horizon. If the Chevy Opala is part of that, it could mean some exciting new content and races featuring international competitors. Photo by Daddy Dave Another angle to consider is whether this new car is related to a potential new Street Outlaws spin-off or a special event. With the current No Prep Kings season ending soon, there’s a gap before the next season kicks off. Could this be the setup for a new show or a special segment featuring Street Outlaws racing in new locales or with new formats? As of now, Daddy Dave hasn’t provided any additional details about his plans with the Chevy Opala. The mystery continues, and fans are eagerly awaiting more information. If Dave posts more updates or specifics, we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop. Photo by Daddy Dave So, what’s your take on Daddy Dave’s new ride? Do you think he’s gearing up for an international race, a new show, or just showing off his latest acquisition? Drop your thoughts in the comments below, and let’s speculate together on what might be coming next in the Street Outlaws universe!

- The Forgotten Excitement of Power Adders in Street Outlaws!
In this article, we’re taking a trip down memory lane to revisit something that, in many ways, has become almost obsolete in our beloved show: the excitement and drama surrounding power adders. Remember when a driver’s choice of power adder was one of the biggest talking points in the Street Outlaws community? It seems like that buzz has faded over time, so let’s dive into why and what has changed. Photo by Radical Speed At the beginning of Street Outlaws, power adders were a major topic of conversation. This wasn’t just about the cars themselves but about the different ways drivers chose to boost their performance. The drama was real, and the changes were monumental. Daddy Dave’s switch from nitrous to a ProCharger, Monza’s move from nitrous to turbo, and even the Murder Nova’s transition from ProCharger to turbo—these were seismic shifts in the Street Outlaws world. Each change brought a new wave of excitement, speculation, and heated discussion among fans. Photo by Team Monza 405 Back then, it wasn’t just about the cars; it was about the strategies and choices behind them. The discussions about whether nitrous, turbo, or ProChargers were the superior choice kept fans on the edge of their seats. Seeing a driver switch power adders was almost as thrilling as seeing a brand-new car roll out onto the street. Fast forward to today, and the spotlight on power adders seems to have dimmed. With the rapid pace of changes and advancements in the racing world, power adders have become just another part of the mix rather than the focal point of conversation. Drivers like Ryan Martin have made headlines for constantly switching between twin turbos and ProChargers, but these changes have become almost routine. Photo by Dean Image One reason for this shift might be that power adder changes are now so frequent that they no longer have the same impact they once did. What used to be groundbreaking news is now just another update in the endless stream of changes that come with the high-stakes world of Street Outlaws. As more drivers embrace the “whatever it takes to win” mentality, the excitement surrounding these changes has started to wane. It’s worth noting that while the excitement around power adders might have cooled, there are still moments when these changes do create a buzz. For example, when Kye Kelley debuted his new third-gen Camaro with a screw blower, there was a noticeable excitement. However, this type of news doesn’t seem to have the same magnitude as it did back in the earlier days of the show. This decrease in hype might be due to the sheer volume of changes happening now. When drivers are constantly swapping power adders and making modifications, it becomes harder for any single change to stand out. It’s like the community has become numb to the constant evolution, and the dramatic impact of these changes has been diluted. Photo by Dean Image There’s a certain nostalgia for those early days when the choice of power adder felt like it was a game-changer. It was more than just technical details—it was a major plot point and a topic of passionate debate among fans. Now, as we look at the current landscape, it’s clear that power adders have become just another aspect of the cars, rather than the main event. So, what’s your take on the shift in focus from power adders? Do you miss the days when changes in power adders were front-page news? Or do you think the current state of the sport, with its constant evolution and rapid changes, is more exciting in its own way? Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Drop your thoughts and opinions in the comments below. We're curious to know if you feel the same way about the forgotten excitement of power adders or if you think the focus has naturally shifted with the evolution of the sport. Let’s get the conversation going! Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com for more discussions and insights into the ever-evolving world of Street Outlaws.
- Monza's Chevelle Finally Sold: What’s Next for the Iconic Car?
In an exciting turn of events for Street Outlaws fans, Monza’s Chevelle has finally found a new home. After much anticipation and speculation, the iconic car has been sold, and there’s a buzz in the racing community about its future. At Street Outlaws Talks, we’re here to bring you all the latest details and what this means for the world of No Prep Kings racing. Photo by Dean Images For those who’ve been following Monza’s journey, this Chevelle has been a labor of love. Built by the renowned Cameron Johnson Race Cars and powered by a top-tier Prine MH7 Hemi, this car is more than just a pretty face. It’s been designed to dominate on the track, and fans have been eagerly waiting to see it in action. The big question on everyone’s mind is: Who bought the Chevelle? While Monza has kept the buyer's identity under wraps, we do know that the car is no longer in Oklahoma. This rules out the possibility of Ryan Martin adding it to his impressive collection, despite initial rumors. Given Ryan’s recent acquisition of Scott Taylor’s “Little Goldie” Camaro, it wouldn’t have been a stretch to think he might have been the buyer. But it looks like the Chevelle is heading to a new owner who has big plans of their own. Photo by Dean Images What’s particularly exciting is that the new owner isn’t planning on repurposing the car for radial racing or any other class. Instead, they’re sticking to big-tire racing, and there’s a strong chance we’ll see this beast competing in No Prep Kings soon. Whether it will make its debut this year or next remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure—this car was built to race, and race it will. For fans of Monza, there’s a bittersweet element to this news. While it’s tough to see him part with the Chevelle, there’s a silver lining. Monza is turning his attention back to his beloved split-bumper Camaro. Yes, that’s right—he’s planning to bring this fan-favorite back to life, and we can’t wait to see it back on the track.

- How JJ Could Return to Street Outlaws? What’s Next for the Memphis King?
Today, we're turning our focus to one of the most dynamic and controversial figures in the racing scene: JJ Da Boss. Building on our recent exploration of the most divisive drivers in the history of the show, it’s clear that JJ Da Boss remains a central figure in the conversation. Despite the polarized opinions about him, his influence on the show and the racing community cannot be overlooked. Photo by Memphis Street Racer JJdaBoss JJ Da Boss is a name that generates both fervent support and significant criticism. His role on Street Outlaws has sparked passionate debates among fans and critics alike. As one of the top favorite drivers, JJ's blend of charisma, driving prowess, and distinctive personality has solidified his place in the show's history. However, it's undeniable that his presence also attracts considerable negativity. This disparity in reception could be attributed to the frequency with which he is discussed, potentially skewing perceptions of his popularity. At present, Street Outlaws is in a state of transition. The spotlight has shifted predominantly to No Prep Kings, leading to a noticeable absence of traditional street racing content. This shift has raised questions about the future of street racing within the series and how, or if, it will make a return. With emerging live streams hinting at a revival of street racing, it’s pertinent to consider where JJ Da Boss fits into this evolving scenario. Photo by Memphis Street Racer JJdaBoss Recently, JJ addressed the state of his relationship with Discovery Channel and Pilgrim Media, the production companies behind Street Outlaws. According to JJ, the relationship is largely transactional, characterized by a professional rather than a personal dynamic. Both parties aim to leverage their partnership for mutual benefit, rather than fostering a close relationship. This clarification, while not unusual in the industry, has generated mixed reactions from the fan base and critics. Photo by Memphis Street Racer JJdaBoss As Street Outlaws potentially reintroduces street racing, it is essential to consider JJ's involvement. His contribution to the show and the street racing community warrants a place, though not necessarily as the central figure. A balanced approach to his reintroduction could be beneficial: Mega Cash Days : JJ could be featured as a prominent driver representing Memphis, maintaining his significance without dominating the narrative. America’s List : Incorporating JJ as a key competitor on the list would ensure his relevance while allowing for a diverse showcase of talent. Fastest in America : Positioning JJ in a supporting role, such as leading a team, would allow him to contribute meaningfully without overshadowing other elements of the show. This strategy enables JJ to remain a vital part of the show’s fabric while facilitating the introduction of new features and drivers. It provides a platform for his continued presence without making him the sole focus. Photo by Memphis Street Racer JJdaBoss The anticipated return of street racing in Street Outlaws presents a prime opportunity to reintroduce JJ Da Boss. His unique contributions and magnetic personality add significant value to the show. Whether through Mega Cash Days, America’s List, or another format, integrating JJ in a supportive role would benefit both the show and its audience.
