It seems as if, no matter how accomplished one might get in the world of wheels, at our core, we all truly appreciate the same simple things. Whether it’s the feeling of horsepower hitting you in the face when you take off from the starting line or just a simple night hanging out in the garage and shooting the sh*t with a couple of buddies, these basic yet incredibly gratifying moments are why many enthusiasts partake in the hobby on some level. Fortunately, through the power of technology and social media, fans are able to join in on these cool moments on a level like never before with some of their favorite racers. In this particular situation, we get a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes on Chuck Seitsinger Racing Youtube Channel as he is heading over to The McKee's shop for a few upgrades on his ‘66 Chevelle. He put everybody on notice that he can still build small tire cars, and make them faster than the rest of the competition. His small tire Fox Body Mustang has been beating the fastest in the 405 area and is probably one of the fastest cars the 405 crew has on hand regarding small tires. Photo by Chuck Seitsinger Racing Today we bring you a video that features his Chevelle just like the one that his father had back in 1979 and the most important thing is that Chuck’s father had raced his Chevelle and to Chuck, this was the fastest car he had seen as a kid. This showroom quality build is something that we cannot take our eyes off and at the very beginning, Chuck tells everybody that this is one of those cars that stays in the family for quite a long time and he would never give it up. Photo by Chuck Seitsinger Racing So why don’t we check out his father’s legacy and hear much more about it, while watching this amazing 1966 Chevelle with a big block under the hood and a four-speed manual transmission as he takes a ride to McKee’s Shop to get even more upgrades for it?

During the filming of an episode of Street Outlaws 405 small tire show, Jeff Lutz was defeated by 405 racer Felicia Smith. On the night, she improved to 2-0 as she was 1-0 coming to the race. Photo by Discovery The two cars used had a 50-year difference, according to Shawn Ellington in the post. Smith got a huge jump on Lutz early on in the race. She then put a gap between a two cars. Photo by Discovery Lutz, the former Drag Week winner, was to about half-track when Smith crossed the finish line. Ellington felt like she was going to smoke the tires. However, Kamikaze Chris did not have the same feeling. “Totally my fault,” Lutz said. “Some must not have had boost. In the race against Felicia, Shawn banged the light and we left together. Then, my car fell on its fac. It was like it shut off. She was just driving out of my life. Junior has to get it figured out. We can’t be losing like this”.

Street Outlaws fans are in for a treat as the highly anticipated No Prep Kings Season 6 is just around the corner. And with it comes the latest creation from one of the most renowned racers on the show, Dominator. This time, he is coming with a new car called the “Dartona,” a custom-built Dodge Dart with a unique and eye-catching design. Dominator has been a staple in the Street Outlaws racing community for many years and has built a reputation for himself as a skilled builder and tuner. Over the years, he has been seen driving several different vehicles on the show, but his latest creation, the Dartona, is unlike anything we have seen from him before. This car is a combination of a Dodge Dart and a Dartona front end, which gives it a distinctive and futuristic look. The Dartona is also built to perform, with a Noonan twin turbo Hemi engine under the hood. The Hemi engine is known for its exceptional power, and when combined with twin turbos, it can produce incredible speed. This makes the Dartona one of the most powerful vehicles on the No Prep Kings track. The aerodynamics of the car have also been improved, which will allow it to run at higher speeds than its predecessor, the original Dart. Dominator has always been someone who likes to do things his way, and this is evident in the way he builds his cars. He builds and tunes his vehicles himself, which sets him apart from other racers on the show who often have professional chassis builders work on their cars. This may make it harder for Dominator to compete against other racers, but it also gives him a unique advantage as he knows every aspect of his car inside and out. In the upcoming No Prep Kings Season 6, fans can expect to see Dominator push the Dartona to its limits. The car’s new design and improved performance make it one of the most exciting vehicles on the track. And with Dominator behind the wheel, we can be sure to see some intense racing action. In conclusion, Dominator’s Dartona is a unique and highly anticipated addition to the No Prep Kings Season 6 lineup. With its impressive design and powerful performance, fans can expect to see some incredible racing from Dominator and the Dartona. Whether you’re a fan of Street Outlaws or just a lover of fast cars, the Dartona is definitely worth keeping an eye on this season.

Street Outlaws have been on TV for quite some time. Did you know it has been 10 years? According to the Farmtruck and AZN social media account, it has indeed been 10 years since they began filming. The show debuted in 2013. Photo by Street Outlaws “Today, Feb. 1st 2023, marks the 10-year anniversary of Streetoutlaws first day of filming”, Farmtruck and AZN said in social media post. “We owe the last 10 crazy years to you guys watching and supporting us. Also, to everyone who has helped us along the way. We sure as hell didn't do this alone. Thank you for believing in us! Now excuse us while we go watch episode 1 of season 1! "Midnight Riders".... which was actually the name of the show before it was called Street Outlaws! 🤣 Thank goodness they changed it!” Photo by Farmtruck and AZN According to Wikipedia page, Street Outlaws TV show began on the Discovery Channel on June 10th, 2013. The first season featured eight episodes that lasted through July 29th, 2013. Street Outlaws 405 is currently in their latest season that was filmed last July during the Street Outlaws No Prep Kings break. The current season, which airs on the Discovery Channel on Monday nights, showcases the 405 drivers in small tires. In the very first episode, Chuck Seitsinger called out the late Flip for a spot on the list. Before his race with Chuck, Flip decided to impersonate security guards and prank Chuck during a bust on the street during testing. Shawn “Murder Nova” Ellington was the No.1 driver at the time. Also, on the episode, Brandon, who was unranked at the time, called out Farmtruck for the No.10 spot. What a ride it has been! Thanks for 10 great years of entertainment!

Brandon James is the driver that came in at the biggest Cash Days that The Street Outlaws have ever organized as a guy that nobody knew, and at the end, he drove off with everybody’s money in his pocket. While we are not sure if he managed to win on the first cash days ever that he entered, we all remember that when he first started racing in the competition, nobody was paying him any attention, however, all that changed as the finals started rolling in. Photo by Brandon FkN James During the first few rounds, it was suddenly obvious that the road is terrible and the usual favorites like Big Chief, Murder Nova, Ryan Martin, JJ Da Boss, Axman, and many more, will not be able to use all that power and all of a sudden many of them found themselves to be the underdogs in this event. A few rounds into the race, this new kid from California was starting to get everybody’s attention and folks realized that this street is the real equalizer that might just be that this underdog is heading to the top of the field. After winning the event as well and a pretty hefty amount of cash to go along with the bragging rights as the fastest street racer, Brandon got an invite to join the rest of the Street Outlaws gang in the No Prep Kings Championship, where he can show the rest of the guys that him winning an event was not a one-time deal. In the past few seasons of the No Prep Kings Championship, he managed to get to the finals and raced against Jerry Bird, however, he did not manage to win the entire event and put his hands on the $40,000 grand prize. This time, we bring you some photos that premiers his brand-new setup for the sixth season which he hopes will get him to the top of the leaderboard with guys like Ryan Martin, Kye Kelley, Jerry Bird, and the rest of the gang. The 1969 Camaro ‘Jezebel’ - Photos by Brandon FkN James Then, Brandon James gives some updates about his Mustang. “We get plenty of people asking about the status of the Mustang and whether we are going to fix it or not, well here is the video those people have been waiting for. All the updates of the Mustang and our goals with it. Be sure to follow all of our socials to stay up to date with what's going on with the program and what is next.” So let us check out the video and see what kind of progress we can expect from him this year.

Street Outlaws star Mike Murillo had double knee replacement surgery on Thursday, February 9th. The operation happened at Foundation Surgical Hospital of San Antonio in Texas. It is not clear how long Murillo will be out with this operation. Photo by Mike Murillo Racing “Hello everyone, it’s Lisa here.” Lisa Murillo, wife of Mike Murillo posted on Mike Murillo Racing Facebook page. “Just wanted to give everyone an update on Mike and his surgery. Everything went great with no complications or issues. He will be in the hospital for at least a couple more days despite what he wants. Thank you to everyone for all your thoughts, prayers and well wishes. Appreciate every single one of y’all. He’s gotta long road to recovery ahead of him but man he is one tough cookie and I admire his strength. He’s so ready to do what he has to do to recover quick and will be back in action in no time.” Photo by Mike Murillo Racing According to OrthoBethesda.com, a double knee replacement recovery time is about 13 weeks. He may be fully healed around May. Photo by Mike Murillo Racing He has updated on February 10th on his Facebook page. “Update Day 2. 2 therapy sessions. First one @10am. Made it about 6-8 steps Equa sue the pain .. second one @ 2pm made it further but for sure can’t go home today and probably not tomorrow either. Did I mention the pain? Knee caps feel like they’re being pryed off by a top of the line pry bar from Harbor Freight” On June 2nd, the new Street Outlaws No Prep Kings season will begin at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Ohio. The two-day event will conclude on June 3rd. Following the National Trail Raceway event, the No Prep Kings racers will be on the road for four additional weeks before a potential break comes. The Street Outlaws No Prep Kings will be making a four-week filming trip to Australia later this month and in March. This is why the No Prep Kings US season is pushed back to June.

Over time, the racers that we have watched blast their way down the street on the collection of Street Outlaws television shows have most certainly been evolving. While things started from a modest place, these days, the cars that we watch go down the streets on the show are almost unrecognizable as top-of-the-line components are thrown at the vehicles that have turned into street raced race cars instead of modified street machines. While watching these incredibly fast machines definitely has its high points, some fans have been calling for a return to the roots of the show. This collection of Street Outlaws fans has been saying that they want things to go back to a simpler time when cars could be driven to and from the race location. Not only do these cars create a different challenge than the race cars that we have been used to seeing. The world of street racing has a new legend in the making, Monza new Chevelle. He has been a staple on the popular TV show “Street Outlaws” and has captured the hearts of fans with his fearless driving and impressive car, the Sinister split bumper Camaro. Photo by Team Monza 405 After many years of thrilling audiences and pushing the limits of his car, Monza has announced his retirement from racing with the Camaro. While this may be a sad moment for fans, it is also an opportunity to celebrate the legacy that Monza has built and the impact he has had on the racing community. The Sinister split bumper Camaro has become one of the most iconic cars in street racing history. Its sleek design, powerful engine, and remarkable performance have set the bar for other racers and inspired a new generation of drivers. The progression of the car over the years has been nothing short of amazing, and its impact on the industry will never be forgotten. Photo by Team Monza 405 However, the end of Monza’s time with the Camaro also marks the beginning of a new era in his racing career. He is bringing out a white 1970 Chevelle with a black vinyl top, which is sure to be a game-changer on the track. With its classic design and modern upgrades, the new car is poised to make a big impression and continue Monza’s legacy of being a fierce competitor. Photo by Team Monza 405 While it is always bittersweet to see a legend like Monza retire from racing with one car, it is important to remember the memories and moments that have been created. The Sinister split bumper Camaro will forever be a part of street racing history and a testament to Monza’s talent and passion for the sport. As we look to the future and the new adventures that Monza will embark on with his new car, we can’t help but be excited for what is to come. The racing community is filled with talented drivers, but Monza’s legacy will always be remembered and celebrated. As Monza moves on to new adventures, the Sinister split bumper Camaro will always be remembered as a symbol of speed, power, and style. Its legacy will continue to inspire and thrill generations of street racing fans for years to come.

Automotive enthusiasts come in all shapes and sizes, and their tastes in cars vary as much as they do. On today’s episode of things you’re not likely to ever see, we have two vehicles matched in a roll race that are polar opposites in almost every way. One of Europe’s finest Italian supercars versus the “Fire Donk,” a 1974 Caprice convertible that would typically never be described using words like high-performance, fast, or powerful. Until now, that is. Photo by That Racing Channel What Ellington has never done, though, in his long and illustrious street racing career, is roll race. Even though roll racing and dig racing seem incredibly similar as they both take place in the streets and sometimes even involve the same cars, the nuances make these two different forms of competition incredibly different in nature. Photo by That Racing Channel The “Fire Donk,” is no ordinary custom Caprice. But don’t let its show-car appearance fool you. It has plenty of race car tech hidden under its large-by-huge body. For starters, its chassis is set up similarly to Shawn’s other race cars. It has an adjustable four-link rear suspension with QA1 coilovers, and up front are tubular upper and lower control arms with coilovers, also from QA1. For motivation, the Fire Donk uses a Texas Speed and Performance-built LSX 427 with a 98mm Precision turbo, a Rossler TH400, and a Quick Performance rearend. Everything you expect to see on any other race car is found here. This combination is capable of 2,000 horsepower, and according to Shawn in this video, it’s currently making approximately 1,400 horsepower. Photo by That Racing Channel Sitting in stark contrast to the Fire Donk is its opponent. The 2017 Lamborghini Aventador SV, owned by Felipe Resende, quintessentially represents everything a 1974 Caprice is not. Every part of the SV is built for high performance, speed, and handling. Even its name, Super Veloce, means Super Fast. From its aluminum and carbon fiber construction to its 750-horsepower V12 engine and all-wheel-drive system, the Aventador SV is intended for one purpose, and that is being driven at its limits. This particular example even features a couple of modifications in the form of an aftermarket exhaust and tune. Photo by That Racing Channel Fortunately for Ellington, his sneaky sleeper has quite a bit of power on tap itself. In fact, when operating at 25 psi of boost, the car is able to crank out 1400 hp. However, the fact that it’s as aerodynamic as a brick and features a set of huge wheels that certainly aren’t helping traction both contribute to the fact that maybe the Lamborghini has a chance.

When it comes to competing in a series like No Prep Kings, it’s all about adjusting consistently and always moving forward. Even for the best in the business, they may have a stumble here and there. Those who truly separate themselves from the pack are the ones who can learn the most from those stumbles and keep moving forward. That seems to be precisely the plan for fan favorite, Kye Kelley. This time, his latest news is sure to excite them. Kelley has confirmed that he will be switching from a nitrous engine to a Noonan Hemi with a screw blower. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing On an interview with Street Outlaws Stat Guy on February 14, Kye Kelley confirmed all the information we had before: he is going to a screw blower and it’s going to be a Noonan Hemi in the new NPK Shocker that he debuted last year. Kelley reportedly felt that the Pat Musi 959 power engine he had been using was holding him back in winning the championship, as it was too heavy and not powerful enough to compete against other engines. With the new Noonan Hemi engine, which is expected to be the 4-9 version, Kelley will be able to produce significantly more power, which will give him a competitive edge. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing It’s not just Kelley who is switching to the Noonan Hemi engine. Other competitors, including Justin Swanson and Daddy Dave, have also made the switch from Pro Line to Noonan, making it clear that this engine is becoming increasingly popular in the world of street racing. The switch to the Noonan Hemi engine is likely to create a more level playing field in the upcoming season 6 of “No Prep Kings”. With several top competitors using the same engine, fans can expect to see some close and exciting races. As the season approaches, fans can expect more updates from Kelley and the other racers on their engines and other preparations for the competition. Street Outlaws fans are sure to be eagerly anticipating the start of season 6, which promises to be an exciting and action-packed season with plenty of surprises in store.

Throughout the course of his career, it’s no secret that Fast N’ Loud star, Richard Rawlings, has been a bit of a magnet for controversy. Whether it’s beef with other reality television stars or a lawsuit here and there, the man certainly has a way of staying in the spotlight. I guess that when you have a multifaceted business with as big of a name as Gas Monkey Garage, it’s only natural that you get into an unwanted crop-up here and there. This time, we check in with one part of the Gas Monkey brand that has earned Rawlings some money but some headaches as well. In order to cash in on the Gas Monkey logo and name, Rawlings licensed the trademark to a Gas Monkey-themed bar and grill. Unfortunately, the relationship between Rawlings and Gas Monkey Bar and Grill has been anything but smooth. Richard Rawlings opened The Gas Monkey Bar n’ Grill off Technology Boulevard in northwest Dallas in 2013 From power struggles to accusations of a manager stealing money and even a case of alleged missing financial records, the back-and-forth between Rawlings and the people who own the franchise has been enveloped in a lot of drama. Richard Rawlings at his Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas. If we were to ask the folks from Gas Monkey Bar and Grill exactly why this is, they would probably tell us that it’s because the bar never really belonged to Richard but apparently that didn’t stop him from trying to make himself a part of the business anyways. However, Rawlings would probably clap back with the idea that he thought that the bar was misusing the license that his brand provided. In fact, Rawlings’s lawyer would even go so far as claiming that Gas Monkey Bar and Grill has been in breach of contract since day one. By following along with the video below from YouTube creator, Celebrity Net Worth, we get to dig into the 2018 situation that had the people responsible for Rawlings’s own brand filing a $6 million lawsuit against him.

Pilgrim Studios, producer of the “Street Outlaws No Prep Kings” series, has over the last two weeks released six stops that comprise the first leg of season six of the wildly popular live event drag racing series. Fifteen total events will make up this season’s schedule, which will begin at Hebron, Ohio’s National Trail Raceway the weekend of June 2-3. The opener will lead into what is, at this time, a five-race stretch over five weeks, as the series will visit the Virginia Motorsports Park in Petersburg, Virginia on June 9-10, Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, Minnesota June 16-17, Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky June 23-24, and New England Dragway in Epping, New Hampshire June 30-July 1. Photo by No Prep The series will take a brief breather before resuming at the Tulsa Raceway Park in Tulsa, Oklahoma August 11-12. Additional events will be announced every Monday in the run-up to the season opener. We will update this story with more information as it becomes available.

Every car reality show has its mysteries, and the cast members have their issues. Such kind of bitter-sweet state offers a great balance for the show. Such kind of a situation is always desired in most reality car shows these days, and one such show is Street Outlaws. Most of the drivers competing in the race lose the impulse control that makes them stay in check while driving. Thus, it became evident that some of the riders made all sorts of bad decisions on set. For this reason, and many more that you will listen here, it’s not surprising that the Street Outlaws show and its crew members have a ton of harsh stories hanging around them. We will be listing 15 things that fans don’t know about Street Outlaws. Check it out. 1.The Producers Never Believed It Would Succeed. Justin “Big Chief” Shearer let the world in on a big secret, literally nobody had any faith in this show. Big Chief said it all started with smaller, independent media companies filming their races and everything grew from there. When a company called 1320 Video's clips of the races blew up online, that's when the Discovery Channel came knocking. Big Chief admitted that nobody, even the show's producers, thought it would last past the first season. Believing they had nothing to lose, the cast didn't hold back while filming season 1. Their enthusiasm and racing talent wasn't lost on the Discovery Channel, who was so impressed with the show's freshman season they gave the gang 10 full seasons, so far. 2.The National Hot Rod Association isn’t a Fan of The Show. It appears that National Hot Rod Association doesn’t like the show in any way. The reason why National Hot Rod Association doesn’t like the show is that according to them, it’s quite difficult for them to honor competition licenses to those that take part in the Street Outlaws show. According to Screen Rant, National Hot Rod Association went as far as issuing letters to some racers that appear on the show weekly. In the letter, National Hot Rod Association warned racers about being ineligible to participate in future racing at National Hot Rod Association events if they continue appearing on the show. 3. Rivalry Between the Original Series and The New Orleans Franchise. The New Orleans franchise of Street Outlaws was created by the producers because of the increasing number of viewers. This ensured that more car lovers in New Orleans could learn about street racers in their area. Thus, Kelley, in the original Street Outlaws series, was moved to the New Orleans series. Kelley’s new relocation made a large number of viewers abandon the old series for the New Orleans franchise. It happened because most of the viewers wanted to watch the career development of Kelley. This action raised a lot of dust and caused a fall out between some racers and fans of the two shows. 4. The Show Itself Wasn’t Actually Illegal. Despite the controversy and worry surrounding Street Outlaws, there wasn't actually any illegal activity going down on the show. Every race was cleared and permitted by the city the crew happened to be visiting that episode. The crew would put in for a permit, which would either be denied or approved by local officials. To keep things extra safe and legal, local police officers would often drop by to keep an eye on the races and the roads were always shut down for the racers' private use. Really as far away from illegal (or street) as you can possibly get. Unfortunately, some cities, like Tulsa, Oklahoma, for example, wound up changing their minds and eventually stopped allowing Street Outlaws to film on the streets. In the case of Tulsa, the thinking was the same as the NHRA, the city was worried it would appear they were promoting illegal activity. 5. The Street Outlaws Series Started with A Website. According to tvovermind.com, in 2002, Justin Shearer, who is also known as Big Chief, created a website which was a platform to publish work for "The List." There were only 60 people involved at that time. These people comprised of car lovers and friends who were considered the best street racers in the country. Today, the website has grown to become a hit show that's aired on Discovery Channel every week with the number of viewers increasing exponentially. It does show that diligence and consistency pay off. 6. The Show Attracts Discontent. The same way that the show is receiving a ton of accolades from car lovers across the globe, it’s also receiving all sorts of criticism from a lot of people. A good example is the National Hot Rod Association. They detest the show. A few other big names in the automotive industry also dislike the show alike or with a little bit more venom. According to Discovery, some people hate the show so much that they are appealing to the Discovery Channel, asking for the show to be canceled. 7. Racers Took Part in Illegal Races Street Outlaws racers have been accused by more traditional drag racers of not only flouting the rules of the game but also participating in illegal street races, which Justin “Big Chief” Shearer shares more about here. The aired races were usually done in a safe and secure manner, but what the producers don't show viewers is that racers often participate in local races across town just before or after shooting. Fans of Street Outlaws have raised concerns about the legitimacy of the show since street racing is illegal. But making a show about something illegal does not make the show itself illegal. Those that have had run-ins with the law were as a result of their illegal activities – which we would shed more light on as we progress – and not for being cast members. 8. Street Outlaws Crew Has Been Involved in Serious Accidents The Street Outlaws crew is not new to accidents, and that's particularly the case for Daddy Dave, Big Chief, and Derek Travis. Dave "Daddy" Comstock's accident occurred when he was street racing with no rubber on the track or anything sprayed on the road. Daddy Dave's car flipped up to 6 times before hitting the wall and landing him in the hospital. For Big Chief, his accident took place during the filming of his race against Brian "Chucky" Davis. Big Chief's car landed in a ditch, and he suffered from a fractured collarbone and spinal cord injuries. In the case of Derek Travis, he didn't mention the cause nor the location of the accident, but we know that the vehicle, which he borrowed from his friend, Bill Brown, suffered substantial damage. 9. At Least Two Street Outlaws' Members Cars Have Been Stolen James "The Reaper" Goad's 1955 Chevrolet, which is valued at about $175,000 was stolen. James reported the theft to the Oklahoma City police, and luckily the vehicle was found in good shape two days after the theft incident. Another Street Outlaws member that has been a victim of theft is David "Bird" Jones. The Bird's 1967 Chevrolet Camaro, which is worth about $100,000 was nicked by someone who was caught on surveillance camera, but it's not clear whether David Jones ever got it back. 10. A Racer Has Been Arrested for Drug Peddling Apparently, participating in illegal street races and smack talks weren't enough for Street Outlaws members, so they had to be involved in more serious crimes like drug peddling. Rhett Peters confessed to using his shop for selling crystal methamphetamine and has been convicted multiple times for drug trafficking. Another racer who couldn't stay out of the drug business is Pass Christian. He stockpiled about half a pound of drugs for almost a month before he was busted, and slammed with several charges bordering on drug trafficking. 11. The Shooting Incident The thing with fame is that it brings you money, influence, and in the case of Shawn Ellington, a hail of bullets. While Street Outlaws members were involved in criminal activities, it seems other criminals had a keen interest in the show. In 2015, an unidentified gunman fired at least 11 bullets into the shop of Shawn Ellington. Fortunately, no one was in the shop located in Oklahoma on that fateful day. From police reports, it appears that the shooter showed up on a motorcycle and even headed toward Shawn's residence. Midwest Street Cars, the Street Outlaws crew's auto shop placed a $5,000 bounty on the shooter. 12. Ronnie Pollard Was Arrested for Stealing an Engine Despite having occasional run-ins with the law, Street Outlaws drag racers still did not shun vices. Ronnie Pollard, an occasional drag racer on the show, along with Christopher Goodman, and Jerry Clyde Stephenson Jr., were arrested for stealing two engines estimated to be around $500,000. Ronnie Pollard and partner in crime Christopher Goodman Although Ronnie Pollard was not really the mastermind of the operation, he was charged for his involvement. The gang leader, Jerry Clyde Stephenson Jr. is a well-known criminal with five felonies, so Ronnie knew exactly what he was getting into. 13. A Street Outlaws Driver Was Slammed with Murder Charges With many Street Outlaws racers involved in accidents, it's only a matter of time before someone gets killed. Unfortunately, for Izzy Valenzuela, two people were reported dead after his opponent, Michael Gevorgyan, lost control of the wheel and crashed into the bystanders. 14. Two Street Outlaws Drivers Died due to Undisclosed Reasons The reality TV show introduced Butch DeMoss in season two, and his 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle instantly caught the attention of fans. Sadly, before DeMoss could really make a name for himself in the show, he died at the age of 43. Butch's family or Street Outlaws didn't disclose any reasons for his passing. Another sad demise on the show was that of Tyler "Flip" Piddy. Just like Butch DeMoss, the details surrounding Flip's exact cause of death are still sketchy, with neither Street Outlaws nor the family going into any specifics. 15. One of The Show's Stars Once Fell Asleep on The Wheel With a lot of crazy activities that take place on and off the set of the reality TV show, it doesn't come as much of a surprise that a drag racer by the name, of JJ Da Boss, literally fell asleep on the wheel. This unusual crash occurred when JJ Da Boss was heading home after a long night of street racing. JJ Da Boss was driving a pickup towing a 1949 Chevrolet pickup and a 1966 Chevy II when he dozed off, and both cars he was towing landed in a ditch. To make matters worse, JJ Da Boss had a broken rib and hand, as well as a few cuts and bruises.
