Both Chuck 55 and Jeff Lutz belong to the same team and drive one of the most attractive cars in the No Prep Kings championship. However, being on the same team doesn't mean they won't have to race against each other to advance to the finals, just like the other guys on the team.

On this particular occasion, Chuck 55 and Jeff Lutz must face each other to determine which Chevy is the fastest on this track. Even though they have raced against each other before, the outcome is always unpredictable, and one car cannot guarantee to be faster than the other.

Unfortunately for Chuck 55, mishaps didn't necessarily have a schedule. As he pulled up to the starting line, he found himself next to another tri-five Chevrolet with Jeff Lutz behind the wheel of "The 57". The race started, and Chuck took off down the track, leaving Jeff behind. However, before Chuck could make it too far, the rear end of his car locked up, causing it to slide sideways and hit the wall. It's unclear what caused the incident, but it was beyond Chuck's control.

The rear end broke and locked up the back wheels, Chuck 55 drove it to a stop with minor damage to the front end. The National No Prep Racing Association captured the whole ordeal, and luckily, Chuck didn't get hurt. It's a shame that such a potent combination of drivers and cars has to go out like that for the year!
