For many fans of Street Outlaws and No Prep Kings, the sight of Daddy Dave’s 1963 Chevy Nova, nicknamed Goliath, was a familiar and thrilling one. The car, which was built from the wreckage of the original Goliath that crashed in 2015, was one of the fastest and most competitive machines on the street and the track, powered by a nitrous-injected big-block Chevy engine. Daddy Dave has been racing since he was 16, and has earned a reputation as one of the best drivers in the scene.

In a world that's constantly evolving, where racing machines come and go, Goliath stands as one of the few OG cars still tearing up the tracks. It's a testament to the engineering brilliance and craftsmanship that went into creating this racing marvel. Goliath has weathered the storms, both on and off the track, becoming a symbol of endurance and tenacity.

As the news of Goliath's final run spread, a collective sigh of sadness echoed among fans. It's not just a car going into retirement; it's a piece of racing history bidding farewell. The heartbreak is palpable as enthusiasts reminisce about the countless races, the rivalries, and the triumphant moments that Goliath brought to the scene.
While the farewell to Goliath may be bittersweet, it also marks the beginning of a new chapter for Daddy Dave. The new car is a 2022 Audi S5, which was unveiled at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas in November 2022. The Audi is a radical departure from the classic Nova, featuring a ProCharger-boosted XRE Hemi engine, a carbon fiber and titanium floor, and a sleek European design. Daddy Dave said that he wanted to try something different and challenge himself with a new platform.
