Justin Swanstrom’s Triple Threat
One of the biggest names in No Time 275 racing, Justin Swanstrom, is coming in hot with not one, not two, but three cars ready to take on the competition. Swanstrom, known for his success in high-stakes racing, is bringing:
Moneybag – A screw-blown Hemi-powered Promod ready to lay down serious times.
Prenup – A former NPK car now converted into a No Time 275 beast, built for big-money matchups.
Todd Fain’s Lexus – Formerly known as “Child Support,” this car was originally built by Swanstrom but is now in the hands of Todd Fain.
With three competitive entries, Justin and his team have multiple chances to cash in big this weekend. He’s no stranger to success in these events, having won over $200,000 in a single weekend at a previous 275 race. With his father’s tuning expertise and possibly Lee White assisting, expect Swanstrom to be a top contender.
Kye Kelley and Jang Lang Enter the Mix
Another heavy hitter joining the event is Kye Kelley with his car, Jang Lang. Originally an NPK competitor, this machine has been transformed into a radial car, proving itself to be fast and consistent.

There’s been some speculation about whether this car would be better suited for big tire racing in the Unlimited Overdrive and Speed Promotions events later this year. Regardless, for now, it’s dialed in for small tires, and fans are eager to see what Kai can do against the stacked competition this weekend.
Kallee Mills Brings the Heat in Kong
Kallee Mills is also set to make an appearance, piloting Kong, a screw-blown former NPK car that has transitioned seamlessly into the No Time 275 scene. Like many ex-NPK machines, Kong has adapted well to drag radials, showcasing impressive performance against the best in the class.

Why Do NPK Cars Excel on Drag Radials?
Interestingly, NPK cars seem to perform exceptionally well on drag radials. Despite being originally built for No Prep Kings events, once they’re outfitted for small-tire racing, they hook hard and put down serious power. This trend has made the transition from NPK to radial racing a common move for many top racers.
With multiple Street Outlaws names in the mix and big money on the line, this weekend’s Big Takes No Time 275 Shootout promises to be an all-out battle.
