A Year Off for Family
Chuck 55, known not just for his racing skills but also as a devoted family man, took a break last year to focus on what matters most—his family. While we missed seeing him on the track, it’s clear that his priorities were in the right place. Now, with his time off, Chuck is recharged and ready to get back into the thick of NPK action.
The Beast: A Screw-Blown 1955 Chevy
Chuck’s car is nothing short of a showstopper. His 1955 Chevy isn’t just a beauty—it’s a beast. With its screw-blown Proline Racing engine (Pas motor), this car is built for speed and power. In NPK Season 6, this combination was relatively new to Chuck, yet he still managed to make waves, even reaching the finals once. That’s a testament to both his skill as a driver and the raw power of his setup.

Previously, the car ran on nitrous before Chuck switched to a screw blower in Season 5. By Season 6, he upgraded to the Pas motor, a move that significantly boosted his performance. These engines, known for their record-breaking horsepower, are the same type used by other top racers like Jim Howe and Kye Kelley, making Chuck’s Chevy one of the most formidable machines on the track.
What Makes Chuck 55 Stand Out
In a field dominated by Camaros and Mustangs, Chuck’s 1955 Chevy is a breath of fresh air. Its classic design stands out from the crowd, and its performance speaks for itself. As fans, we appreciate the uniqueness Chuck brings to the sport. Plus, his car’s nickname as a "brick" due to its boxy shape only adds to its charm. But don’t be fooled by its looks—this “brick” is a rocket on wheels.

The Power of the Pas Motor
The Pas motor in Chuck’s car isn’t just fast; it’s record-breaking. One Pas engine even set a supercharged dyno record at FuelTech, outperforming all other supercharger combinations, including screw blowers and ProChargers. Running at 98% overdrive, Chuck’s Chevy likely produces more power than most of his competitors, making it one of the fastest cars in the NPK series.
Challenges and Opportunities
While Pas motors are known for their incredible power, they can be challenging to tune and maintain. Many racers using these engines have faced reliability issues, though these often stem from other components rather than the engine itself. With his experience and determination, Chuck is sure to address any gremlins that come his way, making him a serious contender this season.
Looking Ahead
Chuck 55 hasn’t officially announced his full participation in the 2025 NPK season, but if history is any indicator, we can expect to see him at several events. His return is eagerly awaited, and fans are excited to see him go head-to-head with the best in the business. Whether he’s chasing points or just racing for the love of the sport, Chuck’s presence will undoubtedly add excitement to the season.
Chuck 55 is more than just a racer; he’s a symbol of what makes Street Outlaws and No Prep Kings so special. His dedication, family-first attitude, and unique approach to racing make him a fan favorite. We can’t wait to see his 1955 Chevy tearing up the track again this year.
