As one of the most intriguing characters in the Street Outlaws franchise, Doughboy’s disappearance from the show has left many wondering if there’s more to the story than meets the eye. Let’s break it down and find out exactly what happened to this Memphis racing legend.
Who is Doughboy?
For those who may not be familiar, Doughboy (whose real name is Josh Day) was one of the key members of the Memphis crew in Street Outlaws. Known for his fast car and quicker wit, Doughboy quickly earned respect in the racing world. But what set him apart from other drivers on the show was his heart. He wasn’t just in it for the thrill of racing, but also because of his deep love for his family, the Memphis community, and the motorsport culture.
Fans loved seeing him work alongside fellow racers like JJ Da Boss and his wife, Tricia Day, on the streets of Memphis. Whether it was his humorous antics or his undeniable talent behind the wheel, Doughboy’s personality became a staple of the Street Outlaws universe.
The Shift in Doughboy's Storyline
Around the middle of Season 5 of Street Outlaws: Memphis, fans began to notice that Doughboy wasn’t featured as much on the show. While JJ Da Boss remained a regular fixture, and new faces came and went, Doughboy’s absence became more and more noticeable. Speculation started to run wild. Was he leaving the racing scene for good? Was he off filming for something else? Or, more worryingly, had something bad happened?

Doughboy revealed that he took a step back from Street Outlaws: Memphis to focus on his health and his family. Behind the scenes, he had been dealing with some personal struggles that required his attention. While he didn’t go into extreme detail about his private life, it’s clear that Doughboy needed time to recharge and regroup.

He made it clear that he was still very much in the racing scene and not ready to hang up his helmet for good. The love for the sport runs deep in his veins, and although his time on the show may have slowed, his passion for racing is as strong as ever.
