At Street Outlaws Talks, we're always keeping a close eye on the exciting developments in the world of No Prep Kings racing. With the No Prep Elite Finale fast approaching at the end of October, fans are buzzing with anticipation.

The Car: 1967 Chevelle with Serious Power
Herrera’s Chevelle isn’t just a throwback to classic muscle. It’s a modern beast packed with cutting-edge tech, designed to tear up the strip. Under the hood, it’s powered by a monstrous 590 cubic inch Hemi engine built by Bullet Racing Engines. And to top it off, it’s paired with a powerful F4X-140 ProCharger—a combination that promises some serious horsepower.
ProCharger setups are becoming increasingly popular in the No Prep world, and Herrera's build is no exception. This Chevelle, with its high-powered engine and top-tier blower, is expected to perform at the highest level in the Outlaw Big Tire class.
A New Challenger in No Prep Kings
While Adrian Herrera may be a fresh face in the No Prep Kings scene, he’s definitely not someone to be underestimated. Racing at the No Prep Elite Finale will be a great test for both him and his car. Although Herrera won’t be competing in the elite 16 of the Invitational Racers—since he’s not yet part of that exclusive group—he could still make waves on Friday at the Finale, potentially facing off against some of the big names in the sport.

It’s not just a one-and-done appearance for Herrera either. Many fans are already speculating that he could make a full-season debut in No Prep Kings Season 8. With a car this fast and Herrera’s clear drive, the next season could see him battling it out with the sport's top-tier drivers.
An Eye on the Rules
One interesting note about Herrera’s Chevelle is its 590 cubic inch engine. Under current No Prep Kings rules, boosted combinations like his ProCharger Hemi are limited to 585 cubic inches. With Herrera's setup exceeding that limit, there’s already talk about how this will play out.
Some believe he may need to make adjustments or possibly run with additional weight to meet the rules—similar to how the Gucci Nova, running a 570 cubic inch Hemi, has to carry an extra 50 pounds. Whether or not the rules change, it’s something Herrera and his team will need to address to stay competitive.
New Faces, New Cars: What to Expect in Season 8
What’s especially exciting about the upcoming season is the influx of new talent and fresh cars. We’ve already seen names like Chevy Reeves join the mix, driving Monza’s old Chevelle, and now with Herrera stepping up, it’s clear that Season 8 is shaping up to be a game-changer.

There’s even more to come next year. With drivers like Cody Baker returning and several others rumored to join, fans are in for a treat. No Prep Kings—or whatever the series may be called next year—is sure to be packed with action, fierce competition, and faster cars than ever before.
Looking Ahead
The No Prep Elite Finale in Texas is going to be an event to remember. With Adrian Herrera's debut and his powerful Chevelle set to make its mark, we can’t wait to see how it all plays out. The excitement of new racers and new cars entering the fray makes for thrilling times in No Prep Kings racing.
