Big Chief’s Comeback? The OG Crow Might Fly Again – And It’s Personal

Hey there, Street Outlaws Talks crew! Buckle up, because we’re about to dive into one of the most exciting developments to hit the street racing scene in years. We’re talking about the possible return of the man, the myth, the legend—Big Chief, Justin Shearer. Yeah, you read that right. There’s real buzz out there that the OG himself might just be warming up the tires for a major comeback. And let’s be clear—if this happens, it won’t just shake things up. It could flip the entire scene on its head.

Big Chief Was Never Just a Racer—He Was the Show

If you’ve been a fan of Street Outlaws from the jump, you know Big Chief wasn’t just another name on the list. He was the list. Since the show’s premiere in 2013, Chief became the face of street racing for millions of fans. His passion, his grit, and of course, that legendary black Pontiac known as the OG Crow—he brought it all.

So when he made his dramatic exit from the Discovery Channel after some tension behind the scenes, fans were left stunned. It felt like the heart had been ripped out of the show. No matter how fast or flashy the other racers were, it just wasn’t the same without Chief in the mix.

But that might be changing.

A New Shop, A New Plan, and Hints of a Comeback

Over the past year, fans have been keeping tabs on Big Chief through his YouTube channel and his new shop project with Jackie. It’s been lowkey, raw, and all about the real stuff—building, testing, tuning, living that racer life without all the network fluff. But in one of those uploads, Chief dropped a casual bombshell: he has a plan for the OG Crow.

Not a nostalgia rebuild. Not a museum piece. A plan.

That one word set off alarms across the street racing world. For fans who’ve followed Chief's journey, that kind of talk isn’t just idle garage chatter—it’s code for something big. Real big.

The Crow That Rose From the Ashes

Let’s rewind. The OG Crow wasn’t just another car—it was a part of Big Chief’s identity. When it was totaled in a brutal crash years ago, it left more than just wreckage on the pavement. It was emotional. It was devastating.

So hearing that the Crow might rise again? That’s the kind of storyline that could only be written in fuel, sweat, and pure heart. This isn’t just a rebuild—it’s a resurrection.

Discovery in the Mix? Reaper Spills the Tea

Here’s where things get even juicier. In a twist that no one saw coming, Reaper recently claimed in a video that both he and Chief were contacted by the Discovery Network. Not for a reunion episode. Not for a casual chat. But to sit down, squash old beefs, and talk business. Wine coolers were apparently involved (no, seriously).

And guess who else was at the table? Richard Rollins. Yeah, that Richard Rollins—Mr. Fast and Loud himself.

If that’s true, this isn’t just a meeting—it’s potentially the formation of a dream team. Or a ticking time bomb. Either way, it’s enough to get every gearhead’s heart racing.

Why He Walked Away (And Why He Might Come Back)

Let’s not forget—Big Chief didn’t leave just because of drama. He walked away because he felt like the rules and the direction of the show no longer lined up with the spirit of real street racing. The “Race Your Way In” format? He wasn’t having it. Especially when it started to feel like certain racers—ahem Memphis—were getting a little too much shine.

Chief has always been about integrity. If he felt the system was broken, he wasn’t going to fake it for the cameras.

But now? With his own shop, his own schedule, and no network pressure? It’s starting to look like the comeback isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.

What This Comeback Really Means

Let’s be real—if Big Chief returns, the entire Street Outlaws universe gets flipped. His name alone brings pressure. Strategy. Intensity. He’s not just fast—he gets in racers’ heads. And if he brings back the OG Crow? That’s not a car, that’s a statement. That’s unfinished business.

It’s also worth noting—this comeback might not be through the front door. Chief’s never been one to follow the script. What if he hits the streets independently, calling out the fastest racers in the country, no TV politics, just raw shootouts?

That would be epic. And honestly? More in line with what made us all fall in love with street racing in the first place.

The Fans Have Spoken

Social media hasn’t gone quiet. Quite the opposite. Every post, every comment section—people are calling for Chief’s return. Not just for the drama or the races, but because of what he stood for. Honesty. Realness. Heart.

He wasn’t just a racer. He was the moral compass of the show. Without him, things have felt a little… directionless.

But maybe, just maybe, that’s about to change.

Final Thoughts: The Road Ahead

At Street Outlaws Talks, we’re not here to hype rumors—we’re here to follow the real stories. And this one? It’s got all the makings of a comeback for the ages. Whether Big Chief comes back with Discovery, rolls solo, or does something completely unexpected, one thing is for sure: The racing world hasn’t seen the last of him.

And as for the Crow? That bird’s about to take flight again.

Stay tuned, y’all. It’s about to get real fast, real loud, and very real.
