Dominator is back and ready to take on the competition in this year's Speed Promotions No Prep Kings (NPK) series. Fans of the Street Outlaws scene know that Dominator has been a staple in the racing world for years, and after dealing with some setbacks last season, he looks to be coming in stronger and more consistent than ever.

Last year, we saw Dominator in and out of competition, mainly due to waiting on parts and fine-tuning his setup. However, towards the end of the season, he started making real progress, putting down solid passes and showing the kind of consistency that's crucial in NPK racing. This improvement is an exciting sign that he's ready to bring the heat in the upcoming season.
A One-Man Racing Machine
One of the most impressive things about Dominator is that he does nearly everything himself. From tuning the car to building the chassis, he’s hands-on with every aspect of his racing operation. In a world where many teams have multiple crew members handling different responsibilities, it's rare to see a racer take on such a workload alone. This dedication has been a defining trait of Dominator since he first appeared on Street Outlaws, and it's one of the reasons he remains a fan favorite.

The Turbo Challenge
Dominator has faced some struggles ever since he made the switch to turbo, especially with the addition of a new Hemi engine. While he has a strong combination under the hood, turbo cars have historically had a harder time maintaining consistency in No Prep Kings. The challenge comes down to managing boost, timing, and fuel adjustments while dealing with unpredictable track conditions. Unlike other power adders, turbo setups require constant tweaking to keep them competitive in a series like NPK, where track surfaces vary from event to event.
Despite the challenges, it looks like Dominator is sticking with his twin-turbo setup for now. There were rumors that he was considering a switch to a different power adder, but as of now, it appears he's staying the course. Jeff Lutz is also making the move back to a turbo setup, suggesting that some racers believe there’s an edge to be found in the combination this season.

New Season, New Rules
This season brings an interesting shake-up to the competition with a no-rules format and the option to run a 36-inch tall tire. The larger tire could be a game-changer, helping turbo cars apply more power while making them more forgiving on tricky surfaces. The big question is whether Dominator’s car can accommodate the larger tire or if modifications will be needed. If he can make it work, it could help level the playing field and improve his chances of putting down consistently strong runs.
With the first race of the Speed Promotions No Prep Kings series right around the corner, excitement is at an all-time high. Dominator has shown that he has the drive and dedication to compete with the best, and this season could be his chance to shine. Fans will be watching closely to see if he can dial in his setup and take his racing program to the next level.
