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 And while we’re on the subject of fast cars, let’s talk about Outdated —Justin’s former Speed Promotions Mustang.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.

This weekend, some of the biggest names in no prep racing rolled into Shadyside Dragway for the high-stakes King of the Streets event, and as expected, the action didn’t disappoint. With a massive $75,000 payout on the line, every racer came to win—and two of the sport’s top competitors, Kye Kelley  and Ryan Martin , are already making waves. Photo by Megan Taylor First Round in the Books Yesterday marked the opening round of eliminations, and both Kye and Ryan punched their tickets to the next stage. With some of the fiercest small tire racers in the country on hand, advancing in this field is no small feat. These aren’t your average Friday night matchups—this is where the best of the best prove their worth. Kye Kelley’s Bullhorns Are Back One of the standout moments from the first round came courtesy of Kye Kelley  and his nitrous-powered machine. A screenshot from his Facebook post captured his car mid-pass with those unmistakable candles lit  through the bullhorns—a beautiful sight for longtime fans of the scene. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a Street Outlaws car sporting bullhorns like that. The sight brings back memories of Barry Nicholson’s  old-school Camaro from the early NPK seasons—those flame-throwing launches under the lights were unforgettable. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing While most nitrous cars these days run sumis  (for performance reasons, of course), there’s just something special about the visual of bullhorns glowing at night. It’s a throwback vibe that hardcore fans like us at Street Outlaws Talks  can’t get enough of. That 903ci Combo is No Joke Kai’s car is clearly dialed in. He’s running a 903 cubic inch  nitrous setup, and it’s proving to be a serious contender. If you’ve followed Kai over the years, you know he’s been through a variety of engine combos—from smaller motors to 5.3 bore space monsters. That experience is paying off big time now. This isn’t the first time he’s run a 903 either. The original “Shocker” had a similar setup when he first made the jump to a 5.3 bore space motor. With all that past data and tuning knowledge under his belt, it’s no surprise Kai is making strong passes and looking like a real threat. Photo by Fireball Camaro Ryan Martin—Still the Man to Beat On the other side of the bracket, Ryan Martin  continues to prove why he’s considered one of the top no prep racers in the country. His small tire car—powered by a ProCharged HEMI —is flat-out hauling. Ryan picked up the round one win and looks like he’s ready to take this thing all the way. He had a few hiccups in testing earlier in the weekend, but if there’s one thing we know about Ryan, it’s that he figures things out fast. Now that the car is dialed in, he’s right back in the zone—and when Ryan’s locked in, he’s tough  to beat. A Final Showdown? It’s still early, and with the second round already underway, anything can happen. But if things line up just right, we might get another classic Kye Kelley vs. Ryan Martin  final. That kind of matchup is what no prep dreams are made of—and with the way both cars are running, it’s not out of the question. Of course, there are still plenty of heavy hitters left in the race, and nothing’s guaranteed. But one thing’s for sure— King of the Streets  at Shadyside is delivering big-time entertainment, and we’ll be here at Street Outlaws Talks  covering every second of it. Stay tuned—we’ll keep you updated with all the results, behind-the-scenes stories, and of course, more insight into what makes these racers tick.

Well folks, buckle up, because things are about to get wild at Virginia Motorsports Park. Scott Taylor is turning up the heat—literally. Just a couple of weeks after runner-upping with his brand-new ride at Famoso Raceway, Scott’s making some major changes ahead of the upcoming Speed Promotions event at VMP. He’s adding nitrous to the mix—and not just for kicks. Here at Street Outlaws Talks , we’re always keeping a close eye on the action, and let us tell you: this move by Scott is big. Photo by Scott Taylor Motorsports Why the Switch? At Famoso, Scott didn’t have nitrous. That was evident when he went head-to-head with the Gucci Nova—a nitrous-fed beast that ultimately edged him out. Now, with VMP coming up fast, Scott’s not taking any chances. He’s adding the juice to his ProCharger setup, hoping to close that power gap. While Jeff Lutz recently tested a similar combo and mentioned on his YouTube channel that it only picked up one to two numbers with nitrous, let’s not forget—one or two numbers can be everything in a field this tight. At a race where everyone’s bringing their A-game, the smallest edge can be the difference between going home early and standing in the winner’s circle. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography More Than Just Extra Power Adding nitrous isn’t just about adding horsepower. In a setup like Scott’s, the nitrous is also helping to cool the intake air—something centrifugal superchargers like the ProCharger tend to heat up significantly. Cooler air equals denser air, and that means more power. So even if the nitrous isn’t getting sprayed in massive amounts, it’s still doing important work under the hood. Let’s be real—Scott Taylor has always been fast. But this new car? It’s a different animal compared to his old Track Doe. Now that he’s got the added bite of nitrous, it’s going to be interesting to see how he lines up against the rest of the field. VMP: The Perfect Storm The Virginia Motorsports Park is known for being a fast track—and this upcoming Speed Promotions race could very well be the quickest one we’ve seen all season in the Outlaw 32 class. Weather’s looking good, the surface should be prime, and the heavy hitters are all dialing in their setups for max effort. Photo by Megan Taylor Expect to see screw blower cars flying, ProCharger setups locked in, and nitrous cars making serious noise. With conditions like these, this event could easily go down as one of the most competitive and exciting races of the year. Can Anyone Beat Kye Kelley? While we’re hyped to see what Scott does with his updated combo, don’t sleep on Kye Kelley. His car might not always be the most consistent, but when it’s on—it’s on. Kye’s running one of the lightest and most powerful setups out there, and if he can get all that horsepower down to the track without spinning or shaking, he could be the one to beat at VMP. That said, consistency is still king, especially on a track where everyone is going to be pushing their combos to the limit. It’s going to take more than raw horsepower to take home the win—it’s going to take precision, timing, and a little bit of luck. Final Thoughts Scott Taylor adding nitrous is a sign of just how serious this VMP race is shaping up to be. Every racer knows they’ve got to squeeze out every last bit of performance if they want to keep up. At Street Outlaws Talks , we’re beyond excited to see how this all plays out. One thing’s for sure: Scott’s new car, now with nitrous, is going to be a handful. And in a field this stacked, that’s exactly what you need to be. Stay tuned—we’ll be covering the results, the highlights, and all the behind-the-scenes action from VMP right here on Street Outlaws Talks.

Well folks, there's a new race series hitting the scene in 2025, and it’s shaping up to be something street racers and fans won't want to miss. It’s called No Time Kings, and it's got all the ingredients for a killer show—big payouts, real street-style no-time racing, and a familiar name at the helm: Jim Howe. Photo by National CBD Council Now, for those who don't know, Jim Howe is no rookie when it comes to fast cars and fierce competition. He’s a former Street Outlaws and NPK racer with over 30 years of racing experience under his belt. After his successful run with Speed Promotions last year, he’s stepping up to launch this new series under the IHRA banner. And let us tell you, it looks like he’s going all in. What's the Deal with No Time Kings? This isn't just another local shootout. No Time Kings  will be a four-race series kicking off in July 2025 , with follow-up events in August , September , and October . While the full schedule and track locations haven’t been released yet, what we do know is that each race will be held at night —true to the roots of street racing. No daytime eliminations here. They'll be doing a chip draw just before sunset and running under the lights. That’s the kind of vibe we like. Oh, and did we mention the payout? We’re talking over $300,000 in guaranteed money  across the four events. That’s no joke. With cash like that on the table, you can bet we’ll see some of the fastest, nastiest rides in the country coming out of the woodwork.

Early info suggests there are no restrictions —you can bring out your promod if that’s your flavor. No steel-body-only rule, no major limits—just straight-up race what you’ve got and let it eat. That alone will attract a serious crowd, both in the pits and in the stands. As for the other classes, we’re still waiting on full rule breakdowns, but based on the structure, it’s clear there’ll be something for everyone—from grassroots racers to heavy hitters. Photo by Howe Motorsports Why It Matters This series isn't just about big money or flashy cars. It's about bringing that raw, gritty, nighttime race energy back into the spotlight. No Time Kings  is aiming to give racers and fans a series that’s less about production and more about the racing. And with Jim Howe leading the charge, expectations are high. He knows what it takes to run a successful event, and we’ve seen him deliver before. At Street Outlaws Talks , we’ll be following this series closely all season long. We’re excited to see how this thing shakes out, especially with so much cash and talent on the line. Whether you're a die-hard small tire fan or just love watching a promod launch in the dark, No Time Kings  is bringing something fresh to the scene in 2025. Make sure to stay locked in with us here at Street Outlaws Talks —we’ll have updates, class breakdowns, race results, and behind-the-scenes stories all year long. Let the chips fall where they may... this summer, the kings will race under the lights.

Well, well, well... things just got a whole lot more interesting in the world of small tire racing. During a recent live session on the Speed Promotions Facebook page, Kye Kelley and Scott Taylor dropped a bit of a bombshell that has the racing community buzzing. Kye hinted that his current Speed Promotions car – the screw-blown Camaro known as Can’t Get Right – might be making the jump to small tires. And not just any small tires... we’re talking radials . Yep. You heard that right. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing A Bold Move from Kye Now if you’ve been keeping up with Kye Kelley’s program, you know he already has a radial-tire monster in his arsenal – JangALang , his previous No Prep Kings (NPK) ride. That car has proven itself to be a serious threat on drag radials, especially at a recent $100K-to-win shootout. Kye was on a tear until a parachute failure sent the car off the end of the track. Fortunately, the damage wasn’t catastrophic, and JangALang  lived to race another day. But here’s the kicker: that car runs at 125% overdrive  – which means it's packing serious horsepower – and it was flat-out moving. But here’s where things get really interesting. Why Can’t Get Right on Radials Could Be a Game Changer Can’t Get Right  is roughly 150 pounds lighter  than JangALang . Now, if you know anything about eighth-mile racing, you know that 150 pounds isn’t just a small advantage – it’s huge . We’re talking potentially six to seven hundredths of a second  in ET. That’s the difference between winning and going home early. The question now is: will Can’t Get Right , with its shorter wheelbase and lightweight build, actually work on radials? That’s the big unknown. Photo by Megan Taylor But there’s reason to be optimistic. Other former NPK cars have made the transition to radials and done extremely well. Justin Swanstrom’s Lexus – a purpose-built MPK car – is now a top-tier radial machine. Same story for Daddy Dave’s Audi. The chassis setup, weight distribution, and motor placement of these cars seem to adapt surprisingly well to prepped radial surfaces. So it’s not a stretch to think Can’t Get Right  could follow the same path. Lightweight + Power = Trouble for the Competition The Camaro currently tips the scales at around 2,630 pounds  on big tires. On radials, expect that number to drop below 2,600 pounds . Pair that with the same screw-blown, high-horsepower setup and some of the best prep in the country, and this car could be a legitimate threat  at any radial race it enters. If the chassis cooperates and the car hooks, don’t be surprised to see Kye Kelley making serious noise in the small tire scene. Photo by Megan Taylor What’s Next? At the moment, nothing is confirmed – but Kye seems genuinely interested in making the move, and let’s be honest, fans would love  to see it. With a car that light, that powerful, and a driver as seasoned as Kye behind the wheel, this could be a lethal combo on radials. Here at Street Outlaws Talks , we’re keeping a close eye on how this all unfolds. Will Can’t Get Right  make its radial debut soon? Will it dominate like JangALang  did before the crash? We’ll be the first to let you know. Stay tuned, subscribe, and make sure you follow us for all the latest on the Speed Promotions series, Street Outlaws drama, and everything in between.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks — your go-to spot for real-deal coverage of the Street Outlaws world. This time, we’re looking ahead to what just might be the fastest and most exciting event of the entire No Prep Kings season — the upcoming Speed Promotions race at Virginia Motorsports Park. Buckle up, because this one’s shaping up to be an absolute burner. Photo by Cole Pesz Racing Virginia Motorsports Park: The Crown Jewel of the Season? Let’s cut straight to it: Virginia Motorsports Park is poised to be the best track out of all seven NPK championship events this year. From what we’re seeing, this surface is slick, smooth, and fast — arguably the fastest of the season. Not only that, but the weather forecast is looking prime, which means we’re in for optimal race conditions. For anyone keeping score, this is the event where teams will be unleashing everything they’ve got, and the fans are going to love every second of it. Who’s Got the Firepower? Now, when we talk about speed in the No Prep Kings world, one name immediately comes to mind — Kye Kelley . Let’s not kid ourselves: this guy has the fastest car in the series right now. No one else in the NPK ranks has broken into the 3.50s like Kye has, with that blazing 3.58 or 3.59 pass he threw down back in December. That’s serious power, and if anyone can dominate at Virginia, it’s him. Photo by Megan Taylor But here’s the thing — being fast isn’t enough. Consistency matters, especially on a no-prep surface. Just take a look at what happened at Famoso. Kye had a corrupted tune file and went out in round one. So while he’s got the speed, the big question is whether he can put it together when it counts most. Don't Sleep on Cole Pez Another name you have  to keep an eye on is Cole Pez . He’s pushing a wild 127% overdrive on his screw-blown combo, and rumor has it he’s making more horsepower than anyone else in the game right now with a supercharger setup. That’s a whole lot of power — but can he get it to the ground? Virginia’s surface is fast, but still not prepped like traditional drag strips. That means power without control won’t get you far. ProChargers, Nitrous, and a Whole Lot of Variety One of the coolest things about this series is the diversity of power adders. We’ve got ProCharged combos, screw blowers, and even the lone nitrous warrior — Jerry Bird . Jerry’s car is super light and fully capable of dipping into the 3.60s. He might not be the favorite on paper, but don’t count him out. If the track comes around at night, and it usually does, a well-tuned nitrous setup like his could be dangerous. Photo by Fireball Camaro What Will It Take to Win? In all honesty, this race is probably going to be won with a high 3.60 pass. We’re talking about raw, no-prep horsepower being put to the test. If the surface hooks and the temps stay down, don’t be surprised to see teams inch closer to the 3.50s. But 3.60s? That’s the sweet spot. Word on the street is that Ryan Martin  is also testing hard with his gray car, experimenting with lockups and even nitrous. You know what that means — he’s dialing in for a big run, and we all know Ryan doesn’t show up unless he’s ready to win. Final Thoughts This isn’t just another race — it’s a showdown of the season. Virginia Motorsports Park will separate the fast from the fastest, and every team knows it. Whether it’s Kye putting his power down clean, Cole Pez making magic with that wild screw-blown setup, or Jerry Bird flying under the radar, one thing is clear: this is a race you do not  want to miss. We’ll be covering the action every step of the way right here at Street Outlaws Talks. Stay tuned, stay hyped, and as always — keep it fast and keep it loud.
