Big Chief and Jackie packed up The Crow and headed to Texas for a shot at street racing glory, but let’s just say the night didn’t go as planned. From controversial lane choices to unexpected losses and even a silent protest at the starting line, this Cash Days had everything.
Cash Days: No Room for Mistakes
For those new to the scene, Cash Days isn’t just another race—it’s a warzone. There are no second chances, no re-runs, and absolutely no mercy. You get one shot to prove yourself, or you pack it up and head home. The road? Unpredictable. The competition? Brutal. The stakes? Sky-high.
This time around, Big Chief and Jackie weren’t just racing for themselves. They were also hosting two of Sweden’s top street racers, Henrik and Nissi, who came to America to experience the rawest, purest form of street racing. And what better way to do that than at Cash Days?

But then, the controversy started.
Third-Chance Dan and the Lane That Ruined Everything
The event was organized by Dan—a name Big Chief and Jackie knew all too well. Last time they raced under Dan’s watch, they were sent down a gravel road (yeah, not exactly ideal for high-horsepower beasts). So, when Dan announced another Cash Days, Chief was skeptical. Had he learned from his past mistakes?
Well… not really.
Lane choice is everything in street racing, and this particular road was notorious for being a one-lane track—meaning one side was significantly worse than the other. The left lane? Money. The right lane? A gamble. And guess which lane Big Chief drew? You guessed it—the right.
Things got worse when the team noticed a mysterious white dust covering sections of the road. Concrete residue? Rock dust? No one knew for sure, but one thing was clear: it was bad news for traction. The plan was simple—avoid the muck, burn out away from it, and launch hard.

But somewhere in the chaos, communication broke down.
Twice, Big Chief’s tires rolled right through the junk, and when the light dropped, The Crow spun instantly. Zero traction. He tried to pedal it, but by then, it was already over. Memory Loss Camaro took the win, and just like that, Big Chief was out of Cash Days.
Jackie? Oh, she was loving it. Racer math now said she was officially faster than Chief, and you know she wasn’t letting that one go.
Wagner’s Silent Protest and Dan’s Change of Heart
Then came the biggest twist of the night. Wagner, another racer who drew the dreaded right lane, wasn’t having it. Instead of accepting his fate, he pulled an insane move—he lined up outside the groove, completely off the prepped racing surface. It was a wild, almost reckless gamble, but it sent a message loud and clear: this road was trash.
And guess what? It didn’t even matter—he lost anyway.
But here’s where things get really crazy. After spending all night insisting the lanes were fair, Dan suddenly changed his tune. The next day, he publicly admitted, “Yeah, that road was garbage. I won’t hold a race there again.”
Really, Dan? Could’ve figured that out before Chief and Wagner rolled the dice on a terrible lane. But hey, at least he owned up to it.
Lessons Learned – And What’s Next for Big Chief
At the end of the day, street racing isn’t just about wins and losses—it’s about the lessons. And this Cash Days was full of them:
Lane Choice Matters – If you draw the bad lane, you better have a solid strategy to overcome it.
Track Conditions Are Everything – One misstep in prep, and your night is over.
No Excuses, Just Lessons – Big Chief didn’t blame the lane, the car, or Dan. He took the loss, learned from it, and moved on. That’s what real racers do.
The good news? This is just the beginning. Big Chief and Jackie aren’t slowing down. Their new shop is almost finished, their cars are getting faster, and next time....
No muck. No mistakes. Just pure, unfiltered street racing.
