If you’ve been following the No Prep Kings series, you already know how competitive it can get. Some of the best street racers from all over the country come together, all gunning for the top spot. But what’s really wild is how few drivers have been able to pull off consistent wins season after season. That’s where Ryan Martin and Justin Swanstrom stand out.
Consistency is King
The stat that’s causing a buzz? Ryan Martin and Justin Swanstrom are the only two drivers to have won an Invitational event every single season they’ve competed. Think about that for a second—every single season, no matter what obstacles were thrown their way, they’ve managed to come out on top.
Ryan Martin, often referred to as the GOAT of NPK, has been doing this since Season 1. He’s not only won multiple Invitational events each season, but he’s also claimed three NPK championships and a team championship. That level of consistency is almost unheard of in such a high-stakes competition, where every race could be anyone's game.
Justin Swanstrom, on the other hand, is a newer addition to the top ranks of NPK, having started in Season 4. But don’t let that fool you—he’s been nothing short of spectacular since his debut. He’s managed to win an Invitational every season he’s raced, and he’s proven time and again that he’s here to stay. From finishing third in the points standings his first two seasons to going head-to-head with the likes of Ryan Martin and Kai Kelly, Swanstrom has made his mark in a big way.

Surprising Names Missing from the List
What’s even more surprising about this stat is the drivers who aren’t on the list. Big names like Kai Kelly, a heavy hitter in the No Prep Kings scene, haven’t been able to claim a win every season they’ve raced. It really puts into perspective just how tough this competition is—and just how impressive it is for Martin and Swanstrom to have maintained their streak.
Birdman, another OG in the street racing world, also hasn’t kept up this level of consistency. While he’s had his fair share of success, recent years haven’t been as kind to him in the Invitational events. This only adds to the shock factor of Ryan Martin and Justin Swanstrom’s ongoing dominance.
What Makes Ryan Martin and Justin Swanstrom So Special?
Ryan Martin’s success almost feels inevitable at this point. He’s so good that many fans have come to expect him to win—so much so that sometimes we might not even fully appreciate just how dominant he is. To win in a competition like NPK is no small feat, yet Martin makes it look routine. His bad seasons would still be considered career highlights for most drivers. It’s easy to overlook how incredible his accomplishments really are when he’s winning so consistently.
Justin Swanstrom, on the other hand, has a different kind of appeal. He’s the underdog who fought his way up, never given anything on a silver platter. He earned his spot through grit, talent, and sheer determination. Swanstrom’s rise to prominence wasn’t an overnight success story. He worked his way up through the ranks, grabbing attention with his hard work both on and off the track, including his growing presence on YouTube and social media.

His first two seasons in NPK, where he finished third overall, were incredible achievements. And let’s not forget—he wasn’t far off from winning it all, with the championship often coming down to the final race. Competing against seasoned veterans like Ryan Martin and Kai Kelly, and still managing to hold his own, speaks volumes about Swanstrom’s talent and potential.
What Does This Mean for NPK?
This stat really puts things into perspective when it comes to the upper echelon of No Prep Kings racers. Martin and Swanstrom aren’t just competing—they’re dominating. While many drivers are still searching for their first big win, these two are out there setting the bar higher and higher.
It’ll be interesting to see if anyone can break into this elite group in the future. But for now, it’s safe to say that Ryan Martin and Justin Swanstrom are two of the fastest, most consistent drivers in No Prep Kings history. Their streaks show no signs of slowing down, and it’s going to take some serious talent to knock them off their pedestals.
