Bonnie 2.0 Is Back – And So Is the Spirit of Lizzy Musi

There are moments in racing that go way beyond horsepower and horsepower numbers. They hit you right in the gut, leave you with chills, and remind you exactly why you fell in love with this sport in the first place. This past weekend, one of those moments happened—and trust us when we say it was bigger than just a win.

Bonnie 2.0, the iconic Camaro once piloted by the late and legendary Lizzy Musi, roared across the finish line in the PDRA Pro Street class—and took home the W. Yeah, you heard that right. Lizzy’s ride, the one that helped carve her name into no prep history, just found its way back into the winner’s circle. And man… it meant everything.

Let’s rewind for a second.

If you’ve followed Street Outlaws for any amount of time, you already know who Lizzy Musi was—and what she meant to the racing world. She wasn’t just another fast name on the NPK roster. She was the gamechanger. Fierce, fearless, and fast as hell. Lizzy didn’t just compete—she dominated. She inspired. She made people believe that she belonged up front, and no one could argue otherwise.

When she tragically passed in 2024 after a tough battle with cancer, the entire drag racing community felt it. It wasn’t just heartbreaking—it felt like the end of an era. Lizzy left behind a legacy that few could even dream of matching. But what no one expected… was that her car, her passion, and her presence would still be out there today. And not just out there—winning.

The Return of Bonnie 2.0

Bonnie 2.0 isn’t just any car. She was built with purpose. Originally crafted as an upgrade to “Aftershock,” the fifth-gen Camaro Lizzy previously raced, Bonnie was sleeker, faster, and sharper. She was the tool Lizzy used to carve through the No Prep Kings ranks—snagging wins and making history, including the rare feat of winning three straight NPK events. That’s rare air. That’s championship DNA.

So when Lizzy passed, the big question was: what would happen to Bonnie? Would she sit in a garage somewhere, quietly collecting dust? Would she be sold off, forgotten, parted out?

Nope.

Instead, under the careful eye of Pat Musi—Lizzy’s legendary father and one of the most respected tuners in the game—Bonnie stayed right where she belonged. And now, with Blake Dino behind the wheel, she’s still out here doing what she was built to do: win.

Just this weekend, Blake drove Bonnie 2.0 to victory in the Pro Street class. And yeah, some people might glance at the time—3.94 seconds—and shrug. But here’s what they’re missing: that’s a 3.94 on small tires. We’re talking a totally different game than what we see in NPK. Narrower tires. Tighter margin for error. It’s the kind of run that turns heads in the pits. The kind of pass that proves Bonnie isn’t just fast—she’s still a threat.

More Than Just a Race

This wasn’t just about numbers. This was about heart. Emotion. Legacy.

Blake didn’t just hop in the seat and go down the track. He carried a torch. He drove with intention—with respect. He wasn’t trying to be Lizzy. He was honoring her, continuing what she started. You could see it in the way he handled the car: smooth, sharp, composed. This win wasn’t just for Team Musi—it was for everybody who ever cheered for Lizzy.

And speaking of Team Musi, let’s talk about Pat for a second. This man has carried the weight of personal loss while still tuning one of the baddest hot rods in the game. He’s kept the Musi name not just alive—but thriving. For every young racer out there watching from the stands thinking “I want to be like Lizzy,” Pat’s dedication keeps that dream burning.

Legacy on Four Wheels

Let’s be real: cars like Bonnie 2.0 aren’t just machines. They’re moving history. Every weld, every bolt, every throttle pull carries a story. When Blake straps in, he’s not just driving—he’s stepping into a piece of Lizzy’s soul. And now, with Bonnie still under the Muse Motorsports banner, that story continues.

Sure, we’d all love to see Bonnie back in NPK one day, even with a new driver. But right now, Pro Street is the perfect playground. That class is stacked with talent and packed with competition. You’ve got to be dialed in to win there, and Bonnie just proved she’s still more than capable.

As for Bonnie 1.0—the original version—word is, it was auctioned off a while back. No one knows exactly where she ended up. But 2.0? She’s the one flying the flag now. And she’s doing it proud.

The Road Ahead

Let’s dream for a second. What if Bonnie strings together a few more wins this season? What if she makes a run at the Pro Street title? That’s a documentary-level storyline right there—and we’ll be here at StreetOutlawsTalks.com covering every inch of it.

If this weekend proved anything, it’s that legacy doesn’t have an expiration date. Lizzy may no longer be with us physically, but make no mistake—her spirit is still out there, still racing, still inspiring. She didn’t just leave behind a memory. She left behind a movement.

So here’s our message to you: Support racers with heart. Cheer for the ones keeping the flame alive. And never stop telling stories like this one—because racing is about more than just who gets to the stripe first. It’s about why they’re racing in the first place.

And with Bonnie 2.0 back in the winner’s circle, Lizzy Musi’s “why” is alive and well.
