This past weekend at Penwell Nights Raceway, Street Outlaws OG Dominator reminded everyone that he’s still a force to be reckoned with. While he might not be running the full Speed Promotions series this year, that didn’t stop him from showing up, laying down rubber, and walking away with a new track record. Photo by Dominator That’s right—Dominator reset the track record at Penwell Nights with an impressive 4.00-second pass, edging out the previous record held by Mike Murillo, which stood at a 4.08. It was one of those moments that gets your blood pumping—an old-school racer putting on a show and reminding fans why he’s been a part of this game since the beginning. Alongside Dominator was fellow 405 legend Doc, as the two made several exhibition passes throughout the weekend. It was great to see them back at the track, even if it wasn’t part of the official Speed Promotions lineup. These guys helped lay the foundation for everything  we know and love about Street Outlaws today, and seeing them back on the strip—even just for fun—means a lot to longtime fans. Photo by Go Fast Photography Let’s be honest, though. It’s no secret that neither Dominator nor Doc have been running the full Speed Promotions schedule in 2024. And while it’s disappointing not to see these OGs mixing it up every weekend, the reality is they’re not working with the same level of funding or equipment as some of the top contenders. Speed Promotions is essentially the evolution of No Prep Kings—same racers, same competition, just without the TV cameras (for now). But the level of competition has reached a point where if your car isn’t running deep into the 3.60s, you’re not even in the conversation. Doc’s current car can hit 3.80s without breaking a sweat, and Dominator’s heavy metal Nova is no slouch either. But in today’s no-rules, full-send racing world, even that kind of performance isn’t enough to chase a whole series. Photo by Dominator Doc is  building a brand-new car that could be a game-changer once it's done. Word is, it’s capable of running right with the best of them. But as we’ve heard, he’s got other priorities right now. Dominator, too, is reportedly working on something new, but like most racers without big-dollar backing, budget is always a challenge. That’s why moments like this weekend’s record-breaking pass are so awesome to see. They’re a reminder of just how talented and dedicated these guys are—even without big sponsors or a fleet of crew members. It’s pure grit and passion, and it’s what Street Outlaws was always about. We’re hoping to see more of Doc and Dominator at small-tire events this season. Dominator’s Nova on small tires? That could be a nasty combo with the right setup. And we know these guys can drive the wheels off anything they get behind. Here at Street Outlaws Talks , we’ve always got love for the OGs. Whether they're running with the big boys in Speed Promotions or out setting track records in Texas, we're here for it. Doc and Dominator helped build this world—we’re just lucky enough to still watch them do what they do best. Stay tuned for more updates, race recaps, and all things Street Outlaws—because the 405 ain’t done yet.

Well folks, it’s time for another update from your trusted source at Street Outlaws Talks  — and today we’re diving into Kayla Morton’s Hot Mess Express Mustang and the progress being made after her recent crash. Photo by Kayla Morton Racing "Hot Mess Express"  As most of you already know, Kayla took a pretty nasty hit recently, putting the Hot Mess Express out of commission for a bit. But if you thought that would keep her down for long, think again. Yesterday, Kayla gave fans a glimpse into the rebuild by posting a photo on her Facebook page — and let me tell you, that Mustang is already deep into the repair process. It’s back in the race shop, being worked on by what looks like a dedicated team ready to get this beast back on the blacktop. What’s Being Fixed? From what we’ve seen and what Kayla has already shared, the car needs a front half, a fresh steering setup, and a new rear quarter panel. You’ll also notice in the photo that new wheels are going on, and while the motor was thankfully spared in the crash, the wiring had to be redone. That might sound like a laundry list, but in the racing world, that’s just another day at the shop. Photo by Kayla Morton Racing "Hot Mess Express"  Will She Make the Next Race? That’s the big question. The next Speed Promotions event is just around the corner — happening next week at National Trail Raceway in Ohio. With the clock ticking, it’s not clear yet if Kayla will be ready in time for that one. But if the rebuild continues at this pace, there’s a good shot we’ll see her back by the end of June at the following race. And let’s be real — we all want to see that Mustang back on the line. Kayla’s car is no joke. It’s one of the lightest and quickest rides in the Speed Promotions field. In fact, we mentioned this before, but it’s worth saying again: she’s got a serious advantage when it comes to weight. Kayla is one of the lighter drivers, and with a car built to be featherweight, that combo is dangerous — in the best way possible. Just before the crash, we saw her fly past none other than Shawn Minova at Famoso Raceway. That car was absolutely hauling. Even Shawn himself has acknowledged that Kayla’s car is one of the fastest in the field right now. Photo by Kayla Morton Racing "Hot Mess Express"  Is There Such a Thing as Too Light? Funny enough, yes — and Kayla might be toeing that line. A super light car can struggle with traction, especially on less-than-perfect surfaces. That’s why some of the other Speed Promotions racers actually add  weight to hit the sweet spot for weight distribution and grip. It's not uncommon for a car to go from 2,650 lbs to 2,750 lbs just to make it hook properly on certain tracks. So there’s definitely a balance between being fast and being controllable. What’s Next? We’ll be keeping a close eye on Kayla’s progress, and you better believe we’ll update you as soon as she’s back on track. Whether she makes it to National Trail or needs a bit more time, one thing is for sure — when the Hot Mess Express hits the line again, it’s going to be a show. Stay tuned right here at Street Outlaws Talks  for all the latest updates from the world of no prep racing and beyond. And don’t forget to drop a comment, hit that subscribe button, and share your thoughts on Kayla’s comeback. We’re just as excited as you are to see her kick some ass out there.

Well, well, things just got real interesting in the No Prep Kings championship chase! After an action-packed weekend at Virginia Motorsports Park during the Speed Promotions event, the current points standings are shaping up to be one of the tightest we’ve seen in a while. And here at Street Outlaws Talks , we’re breaking it all down for you. Photo by Speed Promotions Racing  Let’s get straight to the big headline— we have a three-way tie at the top!  That’s right, Nate Sayler , Sean “Murder Nova” Ellington , and Dean Karns (aka “The Reaper”)  are all locked in at number one. These guys have been bringing the heat all season, and with five races still left on the calendar, it's anybody’s game. Just behind them, Scott Taylor  holds down the #4 spot, followed by another three-way tie for fifth between Chris Rankin , Cole Peitzmeier (Cole PZ) , and Jeff Lutz . Talk about a stacked top 10! From there, we’ve got some heavy hitters trying to claw their way back into the top tier— Paige Coughlin , Kye Kelley , and Ryan Martin  are all right in the mix. Then trailing behind are Mike Bowman , Chevy Reeves , Dave Vantine , Kyle Canyon , Brandon James , Jeremy Jansen , Tim Brown , Alan Buck , Bobby Ducote (BRD) , Carson Baker , Jerry Bird , and Mike Henry . Rounding out the list is Kayla Morton , who’s still working on rebuilding after that tough accident at Famoso Raceway. Fingers crossed we’ll see her back on track soon—her car is one of the fastest in the field when it’s running right. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Field Size Still Short It’s worth noting we still  haven’t seen a full 32-car field this season. Based on what we saw in Virginia and at previous events, hitting that full number might not happen. Realistically, we’re probably looking at 26–28 cars showing up per event. While that’s still a strong field, fans and racers alike are hoping for more participation as the season rolls on. Murder Nova Making Moves One of the standout performances at Virginia was from Murder Nova  and his crew. Sean took down Nate Sayler—the same guy who won the season opener at Famoso Raceway. That win was a statement. Murder Nova has been running consistently and now finds himself tied for first. His car may not be the absolute fastest yet, but it’s reliable and delivering results. Photo by Megan Taylor Kye Kelley’s Blown Motor Drama Kye Kelley  had a wild weekend. On what should’ve been a simple buy run, he ended up grenading his motor, blower, and a ton of expensive parts. The good news? He’s already swapped in a spare motor, thanks to the “Can’t Get Right” team and Yang Lang . That motor has been run at 125% overdrive, so if Kye can keep it together, we might see him come back swinging with even more power than before. He was arguably the fastest car on the property before the blow-up, so don’t count him out just yet. What’s Next? With five more races left  in the Speed Promotions series, the championship is far from decided. The top spots are tight, and there’s still plenty of time for shakeups, surprises, and redemption stories. Whether it’s Ryan Martin finding another gear, Kayla Morton making a comeback, or one of the underdogs pulling off an upset—anything can happen. So buckle up, stay locked in here at Street Outlaws Talks , and be sure to follow along as we keep covering all the drama, power moves, and straight-up racing madness this No Prep season has to offer.

Well folks, buckle up because we’ve got some exciting news coming straight from Virginia Motorsports Park. The one and only Murder Nova , piloted by Shawn Ellington, just took home another big win in the Speed Promotions Racing Outlaw 32  series—and we couldn’t be more pumped here at Street Outlaws Talks ! Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography This wasn’t just any win either—it marks back-to-back victories at Virginia  for the Murder Nova crew. That’s right, Shawn snagged the win at VMP last year and came right back to do it again this past weekend. Talk about consistency and domination! Breaking Down the Race Day The white Murder Nova, a beast that’s been turning heads all over the circuit, was on a mission from the first round to the finals. Here’s how Shawn’s path to victory played out: First Round:  He faced off against Nate Taylor in the Gucci Nova . Solid race, but Shawn came out on top. Second Round:  Up against Co Pez. While details are a little fuzzy, it sounds like Co Pez may have had mechanical issues. Either way, Shawn advanced. Third Round:  Another break went Shawn’s way when his competitor, Kakali, broke before the race. That handed him a bye run into the semis. Fourth Round:  Time to race against Disco Dean. Now Disco has a fast combo and plenty of potential, but on this day, Shawn simply outran him. Finals:  It was Shawn versus Chris Rankin , a driver who made impressive passes all day. But once again, Murder Nova laid down a killer pass and sealed the deal. Murder Nova: Big, Bad, and Still Fast Here’s what makes this win even more impressive: Shawn’s car isn’t one of the lightest in the field.  At 2,770 lbs with him in it, the Murder Nova is definitely carrying some extra weight compared to competitors like Paige Coughlin , Kayla Morton , Kai Kelley , Scott Taylor , and Jerry Bird , just to name a few. Photo by Murder Nova Some of those racers are even making the same—or more—power with lighter setups, especially with screw-blown combos like Kai’s. But guess what? Speed doesn’t always beat consistency . Shawn’s got both, and that’s why he’s still on top. Testing Pays Off After a rough start to the season with a first-round exit at the opener, Shawn and the team stayed behind and put in the work. Lots of testing, tweaking, and dialing in the new setup. And it showed. The car is now rocking a nitrous setup with a bigger tire , and it looks like they’ve got it 100% dialed in . Not only is the car quick, it’s consistently  quick—a huge key to winning these events and chasing championships. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography What’s Next? This win puts Shawn in a strong position early in the seven-race Speed Promotions championship series . With one win already in the books and a fast, reliable car under him, Murder Nova is once again proving why it’s one of the most respected names in the game. We’ll be keeping a close eye on the rest of the season, and you can bet we’ll have all the latest updates, highlights, and behind-the-scenes takes right here at Street Outlaws Talks . Make sure to bookmark us and check back often—this season’s heating up fast!

Well, folks, the first day of action at Virginia Motorsports Park for the Street Outlaws No Prep Kings series is officially in the books—and what a day it was! Here at Street Outlaws Talks, we’re all about bringing you real, honest coverage from the world of Street Outlaws, and yesterday gave us plenty to talk about. Photo by Paige Coughlin Racing  “Beat the Champs” Delivers a Shocking Twist Kicking things off was the highly anticipated Beat the Champs  race. The format? Simple—take on the heavy hitters, the former champs, and see who survives. But nobody could’ve predicted this: all three champions were knocked out early. Kye Kelley  lost in the first round to Mike Bowman . Ryan Martin  fell to Paige Coughlin , also in the first round. Murder Nova (Shawn Ellington)  made it to Round 2, but was taken out by Scott Taylor . Talk about a shake-up! These are the guys most people have pegged to dominate every event, but the new wave came out swinging, and they weren’t holding anything back. Paige Coughlin Steals the Spotlight If there’s one name that deserves all the attention right now, it’s Paige Coughlin . After taking down Ryan Martin, she powered her way through to the finals to face none other than Scott Taylor —a serious contender with a consistently fast hot rod. Photo by Megan Taylor And while most would’ve bet on Scott in that matchup (and we’ll admit, we thought he had the edge too), Paige proved once again she’s a force to be reckoned with. From the Speed Promotions’ finish line angle, you could see just how close it was— but Paige edged Scott out and took home the $10,000 win. That’s right—ten grand and a whole lot of momentum. While we don’t believe she’s taken home an Invitational win just yet in past seasons, this Beat the Champs  victory is a huge step forward. She's been to the finals before, but now she’s got a W to back up her consistency. Testing Shows Promising Speed for Saturday Even though some top names bowed out early, the test passes told a different story. After his early exit, Ryan Martin  made three strong test hits and looked dialed in. Jerry Bird  and Kye Kelley  also turned heads with some fast passes, especially Kye’s rip down the track against Jerry after his elimination. Let’s not forget about Cold Pz (Colt Preston) . Despite losing in the qualifier, he squared off against Brad Eglian  in testing. Brad left the line two-tenths earlier, but Cold Pz nearly caught him at the stripe—proof that his car is moving. Even "Daddy Dave"  made a killer pass in testing. No doubt about it— Saturday’s Invitational is going to be packed with serious competition . Photo by Megan Taylor What’s Next for the Invitational? From what we’re hearing, it looks like there will be 19 cars  in the main Invitational. They’re still calling it Outlaw 32 , but let’s be real—most of these events don’t end up with 32 cars showing up. Virginia does have a solid turnout since it’s within reach for a lot of racers, but even with a smaller car count, the competition is no joke. The weather looks great, the air is solid, and the track is expected to be fast. That means we could see some seriously low ETs  as the night unfolds. And with how quick everyone looked during testing, we’re in for a show. Final Thoughts from Street Outlaws Talks Congrats again to Paige Coughlin —what a breakout performance. She’s proving she’s not just showing up to race, she’s showing up to win. As for the rest of the field, Saturday will be a battle. The champs are angry, the challengers are confident, and the stage is set for an epic Invitational. Stick with Street Outlaws Talks for more real-deal race coverage, behind-the-scenes stories, and the latest updates from the No Prep Kings series and beyond. We’re here to keep it raw, honest, and all about the street.

Well folks, it was a wild weekend at Extreme Raceway Park , and if you’ve been following the No Time 275 scene, you already know who came out on top— Justin Swanstrom and Todd Fullone . These two racers, backed by some serious horsepower and killer tuning, walked away with a cool $30,000 win  in the big No Time 275 shootout. Photo by Justin Swanstrom The event was part of the ever-growing underground movement that’s breathing new life into drag racing. With no clocks, no times, and no fluff—just raw racing—it’s no wonder the No Time scene  is drawing heavy hitters like Swanstrom and Fain. And make no mistake, these guys aren’t just showing up—they’re dominating . Swanstrom & Fain: A Duo on Fire It’s starting to feel like every weekend ends with Justin and Todd in the winner’s circle. They’ve been absolutely killing it  since stepping away from NPK and Speed Promotions, and honestly, that might’ve been one of the best moves they could’ve made. Justin's car— Montybag , the sleek Pro Mod-style beast—is dialed in better than ever. And Todd? Well, Todd’s ride is flat-out rolling . It’s fast, consistent, and has the kind of power that makes other racers take a second look. With Big Country  on the laptop doing the tuning, it’s no surprise they’re turning heads. Big Country has proven time and time again that he’s one of the best in the No Time tuning game. Photo by Milissa Martini From “Bad Blood” to Big Wins One highlight of the event was Justin going head-to-head with Russell Stone , the current owner of Bad Blood —Justin’s old NPK car. It was a fun blast from the past, but this time, Swanstrom had the upper hand. It just goes to show how far he’s come since his days in NPK. The No Time life suits him well. And while we’re on the subject of fast cars, let’s talk about Outdated —Justin’s former Speed Promotions Mustang. There’s talk it might be getting a new life on small tires, possibly with a radial setup. Whether they put it in another No Time class or throw it into Pro275 , that car’s got serious potential. The only catch? If they race it in a class that shows times, it might mean stepping back from some No Time events. That’s a tough call, but whatever direction they take, it’s bound to be exciting. Photo by Damon Steinke The Future Looks Fast We’ll be honest—we were a little bummed when Justin stepped away from NPK and Speed Promotions. Seeing those big tire matchups was always a treat. But at the end of the day, racers have to do what’s best for their program. And judging by the consistent wins, strong team, and fan buzz, Justin and Todd are clearly on the right path. The No Time scene is growing, and racers like Swanstrom and Fain are helping push it to new heights. With fast cars, smart tuning, and a winning mindset, they’re proving that sometimes taking a different path can lead to even bigger victories. So hats off to the team—this is yet another huge win in what’s already been a red-hot season. And here at Street Outlaws Talks , we’ll be keeping a close eye on what’s next. You better believe it’s going to be fast.

Well folks, there's a new beast prowling the lanes of the Street Outlaws No Prep Kings circuit—and it’s turning heads fast. At the recent event at Famoso Raceway in California, fans got their first real glimpse of The Goblin, a slick new entry into the ever-competitive Speed Promotions Racing Series. And let us tell you—it’s different. In a sea of Camaros and Mustangs, this eye-catching green Dodge Challenger is breaking the mold in more ways than one. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography The Goblin made its debut at Famoso a couple weeks back, sporting a twin turbo NRE (Noonan Race Engineering) Hemi under the hood. While it didn’t have the cleanest first round—word is it ran into some issues—it certainly showed flashes of potential. This isn’t just another flashy body with big turbos slapped on. There’s real performance behind this car, and that’s got people talking. If the setup sounds familiar, that’s because it kind of is. The Goblin draws some similarities to The Vixen , a former No Prep Kings contender fielded by Jack French and the Rutledge Brothers. That car, also twin turbo, proved it could hang tough—especially at higher-altitude tracks where forced induction can shine. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Here at Street Outlaws Talks , we’ve always been open about the challenges twin turbo cars face in no prep racing. While they might dominate on a fully-prepped track (like in the Pro Mod world), No Prep Kings is a different animal. The power they make is incredible—especially in the back half of the track—but if the surface can’t hold it, well, that power doesn’t mean much. Turbo cars tend to come alive in the final 330 feet, but on a no prep surface, that’s often the sketchiest part of the track. It’s tough to put down power there when compared to screw blower or procharger setups, which hit hard early and carry momentum through the run. Not to mention, turbo cars generally don’t produce as much downforce as their supercharged counterparts, which can be a disadvantage on these slick surfaces. That said— never say never . Just because turbo combos haven’t dominated in recent years doesn’t mean someone won’t crack the code. And maybe, just maybe, The Goblin  is the car to do it. The team behind it clearly has a solid foundation and a willingness to think outside the box, and that’s exactly what it takes to win in No Prep Kings. Photo by Goblin Looking ahead, all eyes will be on Virginia Motorsports Park. That track has historically been one of the best surfaces the series visits all season. It's smooth, it’s fast, and racers always  throw down at VMP. If The Goblin can make clean passes there, it might just shock the field—and prove that a twin turbo combo can get it done when conditions are right. Let’s not forget—the car looks killer too. The bright green paint job is sharp, sleek, and stands out in all the right ways. It's refreshing to see something different from the usual builds we see on the circuit. And different is what drives this sport forward. At Street Outlaws Talks , we’re all about the innovation, the underdogs, and the stories that fuel the racing world beyond the TV screens. The Goblin has our attention, and we’ll be following closely to see how this twin turbo Challenger evolves in the weeks ahead. So, what do you think—does The Goblin have what it takes to carve out a name in No Prep Kings? Drop a comment, hit that share button, and stay tuned for more deep dives into the cars and racers that make this scene one of the most exciting in motorsports.

Well folks, big things are brewing once again in Justin Swanstrom’s world, and if you're a fan of his infamous Lexus “Prenup,” you’re going to want to stick around for this one. Photo by Justin Swanstrom We’ve been following Prenup since it hit the scene back in 2021. From day one, this car wasn’t just another name on the No Prep Kings roster—it came out swinging with a ProCharged Hemi setup and immediately proved itself by winning two races in Season 4 of NPK. Pretty impressive for a fresh build, right? But as with most fast cars, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing. After a crash the following year, Swanstrom gave Prenup a serious overhaul—first with a screw-blown Hemi, and later with a Nunan setup. Through it all, the car continued to evolve, and let’s be real—it never stopped being a threat on any surface. Then came the radial scene. Photo by Justin Swanstrom That’s where Prenup really showed its teeth. Justin dove into some serious grudge and shootout racing with this beast and walked away with some major paydays—rumor has it one weekend alone brought in $250,000. Whether it’s on slicks, radials, or no prep, there’s no doubt Prenup has earned its rep as one of the nastiest No Time cars out there. Now, with Justin launching Swanfest  this October—a big deal in the small tire and grudge world—he’s got his eye on a growing class: All Steel, All Glass. This class is catching fire across the U.S., and Justin wants in. Only problem? None of his current rides fit the bill. So, what’s the solution? Upgrade Prenup, of course. Word is he’s planning to rework the front end and doors to meet all-steel, all-glass specs. Sure, it’ll make the car heavier, but in this class, that’s the name of the game. It’s a smart move too—with more races popping up in this category, having a car like Prenup in the mix could be a huge advantage. Photo by Justin Swanstrom Plus, with Justin’s newer NPK car no longer part of the No Prep Kings series and seemingly being set up for radials, it opens the door (pun intended) for Prenup to take on a new role. This isn’t just about staying relevant—it’s about dominating across multiple platforms. And let’s not forget: Prenup is the only car Justin has publicly said he’ll never sell.  That says a lot. It’s clear this one’s special to him, and after everything it’s been through, it deserves a second—or maybe third—chapter. Between Prenup, the Pro Mod, the now-radial setup for Outdated, and Todd Fon’s car, Swanstrom’s operation is looking as stacked as ever. It’s rare to see someone running four competitive cars across multiple formats and still finding success at every turn. But Justin’s doing it—and making it look easy. We’re still disappointed that he didn’t get a contract for Speed Promotions this season, but if there’s one thing Swanstrom knows how to do, it’s keep moving forward. Whether it’s behind the wheel of a radial monster or a steel-bodied killer, the man stays in the winner’s circle. So, will we see Prenup lighting the boards in Radial vs. the World or other big-time classes? We sure hope so. Stay tuned to Street Outlaws Talks  for all the latest on Swanstrom, Prenup, and everything going down in the world of street and no prep racing. This is going to be one wild ride.

If you're a fan of underground street racing or reality TV, you've definitely heard the name Ryan Martin. Known for his lethal combo of precision driving, his beastly Fireball Camaro, and a calm, focused attitude that never cracks under pressure, Ryan has become a true standout on Discovery's hit show Street Outlaws. But as fans watch him dominate the strip season after season, one question keeps popping up: How rich is Ryan Martin in 2025? Well, the short answer might surprise you: Ryan Martin’s net worth in 2025 is estimated to be around $5 million. But that number didn’t just fall into his lap—it’s the result of years of grinding, smart business moves, and a relentless passion for racing. Photo by Megan Taylor More Than Just a Street Outlaw Before Ryan Martin was a TV star, he was already deep in the world of high-performance cars. Based out of Oklahoma, Martin built a strong rep in the custom automotive scene, working behind the scenes as a tuner and builder. He wasn’t just wrenching on cars—he was engineering real horsepower solutions that gave drivers a serious edge. That hands-on experience and technical know-how laid the foundation for everything he’s built today. When Street Outlaws  came calling, Martin didn’t step into the spotlight as a rookie—he stepped in as a seasoned pro. The show amplified his profile, but he already had the skills and reputation that made him stand out. The Road to $5 Million Ryan’s $5 million net worth is built on several strong pillars—not just TV fame. Let’s break it down. 1. TV Paychecks Add Up Fast As one of the key faces of Street Outlaws , Martin earns a solid paycheck per episode. Reports suggest that cast members can pull in $20,000–$30,000 per episode, depending on their role and screen time. With regular appearances in the main series, plus spin-offs like No Prep Kings  and Fastest in America , those earnings stack up quick. Add in residuals from reruns and streaming? That’s real money. Photo by Fireball Camaro 2. Race Winnings That Pack a Punch Martin isn’t just on TV to look good—he wins. A lot. Especially in the No Prep Kings  series, where winners often take home $20,000 to $40,000 per event. Martin’s consistent podium finishes have made him one of the most dominant names in the scene, bringing in both cash and clout. 3. B&R Performance: Where the Real Work Happens Beyond racing, Ryan co-owns BNR Performance, a high-end tuning shop in Oklahoma that caters to serious gearheads. Offering performance packages that range from $8,899 to over $50,000, the shop has become a go-to destination for those looking to push their builds to the next level. His Fireball Camaro isn’t just a race car—it’s a rolling business card. 4. Merch and Brand Building Ryan’s merch game is strong. What started as a small booth at race events has grown into a full-blown e-commerce operation. From apparel and stickers to limited-edition racing parts, fans are eager to get their hands on anything Fireball-branded. The demand is so high, some items sell out faster than his car clears the eighth-mile. 5. Sponsorships That Make Sense Martin has also made smart moves in the sponsorship game. He partners with brands that actually align with his image—tools, racing fuel, automotive gear. These deals don’t just bring in financial support, but also build his reach and reputation across the industry. A Businessman in the Driver’s Seat What really sets Ryan apart is how he’s managed to turn every aspect of his career into a business opportunity. His racing success fuels his shop’s credibility. His TV appearances grow his fanbase, which powers merch sales. And his sharp eye for partnerships keeps him plugged into the industry’s top circles. Photo by Megan Taylor He’s not a guy riding a wave—he’s the one building it. What’s Next for Ryan Martin? So, will that $5 million net worth grow in the coming years? All signs point to absolutely. Martin is still in top form behind the wheel, and Street Outlaws  shows no signs of slowing down. His business is thriving, demand for high-performance upgrades keeps rising, and his brand only gets stronger with each season. He’s also known for reinvesting in his craft—upgrading equipment, expanding his services, and staying ahead of the curve. That forward-thinking mindset is key to keeping the momentum going well beyond 2025. A Life Fueled by Passion Born on December 1, 1977 in Ohio, Ryan Martin’s roots are a mix of creativity and mechanical curiosity. He had an early love for painting, drawing, and photography—skills that may seem unrelated to racing, but clearly influenced his vision and attention to detail. Today, he shares his life with Cherish “Mama Fireball” Casey, his longtime partner and co-owner of BNR Performance. Together, they’re raising their son Dax and managing a business that’s just as much about family as it is about fast cars. With a massive fanbase, a sharp business mind, and unmatched skill on the track, Ryan Martin is the real deal. In a world where fame can be fleeting, he’s proving that discipline, hustle, and love for the game are what truly build lasting success. Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com  for more behind-the-scenes stories, racer insights, and all things street racing. Ryan Martin’s journey isn’t just inspiring—it’s a blueprint for how passion and performance can pave the road to something greater.

Well, folks — it looks like one of the more unique cars to ever hit the No Prep Kings  circuit is officially up for grabs. That’s right, John Odom’s former GTR is currently for sale, and it’s catching the attention of fans and racers alike. If you’ve been following the NPK scene over the past few seasons, you know this isn’t just any car — it’s a proven performer with a killer setup and a story behind it. Here at Street Outlaws Talks , we like to shine the spotlight on cars that stand out. This GTR isn’t just fast — it’s different. In a field dominated by Camaros and Mustangs, John Odom’s GTR brought a refreshing twist to the lineup. And now, that same car is looking for a new home. Photo by DragZine The Car’s Background The GTR first hit the No Prep Kings scene in 2022 , and it made waves right away. Built with a screw-blown Hemi  under the hood, the car ran strong during both Season 5 and Season 6. While many cars in the field were relying on high-end, cutting-edge engine combinations like the Proline 49 or Nunan 49 motors , this GTR kept things a little more straightforward — and still threw down. Despite the simpler engine combo, this car consistently ran in the 3.70s  in the eighth mile and reportedly dipped into the 5.70s  in the quarter. That’s serious performance, especially considering the car’s weight with John behind the wheel. At around 2,780 pounds , including the driver, it was fairly light — and there's definitely room to shed more weight with a different driver or a few setup changes. Photo by DragZine Who Owns It Now? At this point, it looks like Jim Howe and Howe Motorsports  are the ones listing the car. While it was originally John Odom’s ride, he’s no longer involved in racing — and we won’t get into the details around that. What matters is that the car is still in good hands and available for someone who wants a turn-key No Prep or radial race car with a winning history. Radial or Big Tire — Take Your Pick One of the cool things about this GTR is its versatility. It’s currently set up for radial racing , but it was also a strong performer on big tires  during its time in NPK. It made a few final-round appearances and showed consistency — something that’s not easy to come by in no prep racing. With the right combination, this car could easily be a front-runner again. Whether someone wants to keep it on radials or throw some big tires back on and hit the No Prep Kings series, this car has proven it can hang with the best of them. Photo by DragZine A Fresh Take in a Familiar Field Let’s be real — it’s easy to get numb seeing Camaro after Camaro, Mustang after Mustang. This GTR was something different. A Japanese import with an American screw-blown Hemi? That’s the kind of stuff that makes heads turn in the pits and on the starting line. And even if you’re not a fan of imports, you can’t deny this car brought something new to the game. Hopefully, whoever ends up buying it puts it back on the track where it belongs. It’s always a shame to see a car like this sit, especially when it’s got so much left to give. Interested? If you’re serious about buying, your best bet is to reach out directly to Howe Motorsports . They’ll have the full specs, the current setup details, and everything else you’d need to know. We’ll be keeping a close eye on where this car ends up next — and if it returns to the spotlight, you can bet you’ll hear about it first right here on Street Outlaws Talks . Stay tuned for more updates, behind-the-scenes news, and all things Street Outlaws. Whether it’s the latest from NPK or throwbacks like this GTR, we’ve got you covered.

Well, folks, Daddy Dave is officially headed to Virginia Motorsports Park this weekend for a Speed Promotions event — and he’s bringing out his badass Audi, now setup for small tires. Photo by Daddy Dave Now if you’ve been following Daddy Dave’s racing journey, you know this isn’t your average switch-up. The car he’s racing, that wicked Audi, was originally built for big tire competition and even snagged an NPK win two years ago. But lately, Dave’s been going all-in on small tire racing — and from the looks of it, he’s not slowing down anytime soon. This isn't just a one-off appearance either. Dave’s been steadily dialing in the Audi on small tires, and according to him, the car is working better than ever. He recently went back to a ProCharger setup, ditching the turbo combo he tried last year that just didn’t get the job done on a no prep surface. With the big 140-1 ProCharger and a freshly prepped XRE Hemi under the hood, Dave’s confident that the car is dialed in and ready to throw down. Photo by Daddy Dave And honestly, that confidence is well earned. The Audi is clearly responding well to the small tire setup. Dave’s already got several wins under his belt with this combo, and he’s not about to switch back to big tires — at least not right now. He wants to stay focused on gathering data, logging seat time, and staying race-ready for the two huge $100,000-to-win small tire races coming later this year. One will be on a no prep surface with 28-inch tires, and the other on radials with full prep. Two totally different beasts, and Dave wants to be ready for both. So what’s the strategy? Keep racing. Keep testing. And fine-tune that Audi until it’s unstoppable. Photo by Daddy Dave The small tire class at Speed Promotions events always draws a serious crowd of tough competitors, and this weekend will be no different. But Daddy Dave’s got the experience, the car, and the momentum to be a major threat. With that fresh motor and transmission setup, he’s showing up locked and loaded. At Street Outlaws Talks , we’ll be keeping a close eye on the action in Virginia and bringing you updates throughout the weekend. Whether you’re a longtime Daddy Dave fan or just love good no prep racing, this is going to be one to watch. Stay tuned for more updates, race recaps, and behind-the-scenes insight from the streets and the tracks — only here at Street Outlaws Talks, your #1 source for real, raw, and reliable coverage of everything Street Outlaws.

This past weekend, the small tire racing scene was on fire—and at the center of it all was none other than Larry Larson. At the highly anticipated Shadyside race, Larry brought the heat, walking away with a massive $75,000 payday in one of the most competitive small tire events we've seen all year. Photo by Scott Witty While a lot of the buzz leading up to the race focused on heavy hitters like Kye Kelley and Ryan Martin, another Street Outlaws OG was quietly preparing something big. Larry Larson, known for his insane builds and no-nonsense approach to racing, showed up ready to throw down. And throw down he did. What made this win even more impressive was that Larry brought out his NPK car and slapped on a set of small tires. That’s right—he took a car built for big tire competition and proved it could still dominate on smalls. The car is powered by a Pro Line Hemi with a Harts centrifugal supercharger, and from what we can tell, this might be the first-ever  event win for that particular blower in a small tire race. While we’re not claiming that with 100% certainty, it’s definitely a milestone worth noting. Photo by Scott Witty Throughout the event, Larry’s performance was nothing short of jaw-dropping. In the second round, he lined up against Kye Kelley—one of the most respected names in the game—and flat out drove away from him. Even Kye acknowledged it on social media, saying Larry’s car was absolutely flying. In the finals, Larry faced off against Lordette, who’s been on a tear lately and is driving one of the fastest small tire cars out there right now. But once again, Larry showed that he had the better combo that night. He pulled away clean, proving that he’s got that small tire setup dialed in perfectly. It’s not just about horsepower—it’s about putting it to the ground, and Larry has clearly mastered that art. His car was running strong from start to finish, but what really set it apart was how hard it pulled through the back half of the track. That’s where races are won, and Larry had no problem laying down the power exactly where it mattered most. Photo by Scott Witty This win sends a loud message to the rest of the field: Larry Larson is not just back—he’s dominating . Whether he sticks with small tire or jumps back into big tire competition, he’s going to be a major threat. Looking ahead, we hope to see him at some of the big upcoming Speed Promotions events, especially the $100,000-to-win races. If he brings this same energy and setup to those events, he’ll definitely be a top contender. Congratulations to Larry Larson on the huge win at Shadyside. From Street Outlaws to NPK to the small tire scene—he’s proving he can win on any surface, with any setup, at any time. Stay tuned to Street Outlaws Talks  for more coverage of the fastest racers and biggest events in the no-prep world.
