Alright, gearheads and Street Outlaws fans, buckle up because today we’re diving deep into a topic that’s been on everyone’s mind—when are we going to see the return of the legendary 405 crew? Will Street Outlaws 405 be back on our screens in 2025? Let’s unpack the rumors, clear up some confusion, and get a sense of where things are headed. Photo by Dean Images The Legendary 405: Why Fans Are So Fired Up If you’re anything like us here at Street Outlaws Talks , you live for the raw adrenaline, the close calls, and the thrill of the 405 tearing down the streets. Names like Big Chief, Murder Nova, and Dominator aren’t just racers—they’re legends in the street racing world. For 16 seasons, we’ve watched them push their cars to the limit, compete for pride and dominance, and serve up some of the most intense street races TV has ever seen. But lately, fans have been left wondering: Will we ever see the 405 crew again? The Facebook Post That Ignited the Rumors The uncertainty surrounding the future of Street Outlaws 405 hit a boiling point when Monza—one of the OGs from the crew—posted on Facebook. The post (which was later deleted) mentioned the word "canceled" in relation to the show. Naturally, fans went into panic mode. Was this the end of the 405 on TV? Photo by Dean Images It didn’t help that Monza’s post got picked up by the Street Outlaws fanbase, with rumors swirling faster than a burnout at the starting line. All of a sudden, everyone was asking the same thing: Is the 405 canceled for good? 187 Customs to the Rescue: Pump the Brakes Thankfully, 187 Customs stepped in to calm everyone down. They assured fans that despite Monza’s post, the show wasn't officially canceled—yet. This was a huge relief, but at the same time, we still haven’t heard anything concrete from Discovery or Pilgrim Studios, the major players behind the show. No official word has come down from the top, leaving the future of the 405 crew somewhat up in the air. Photo by Dean Images Dominator Gives Us Hope Now, if there’s one person who knows what’s really going on behind the scenes, it’s Dominator. He’s been there from the start, and he’s got his finger on the pulse of the 405’s future. Recently, Dominator gave us some juicy insider info during one of his YouTube updates. He confirmed that Street Outlaws 405  has always been renewed on a year-to-year basis. That means there have never been long-term contracts in place guaranteeing future seasons, even though the show has managed to give us 16 seasons of heart-pounding action. But here’s where things get interesting—Dominator hinted at some potential filming dates. He mentioned that November, February, or March could be when the 405 crew starts filming again. If that’s the case, a 2025 release date  for the new season might be closer than we think. In other words, all hope isn’t lost. Fan Power: How YOU Can Help Bring Back the 405 Here’s the real kicker: Dominator stressed that fan engagement is key . That means us— you, me, and all the diehard fans out there —have a real shot at influencing whether or not the show comes back. This is where we all come in. Remember, the networks take fan enthusiasm seriously. The more we talk about the show, share our passion on social media, and show that we’re still hungry for more street racing action, the better the chances are that we’ll see the 405 back on our screens. We’ve seen it happen with other fan-favorite shows. When the fans make noise, the networks listen. And right now, we need to let Discovery and Pilgrim Studios know that the 405 crew isn’t just a TV show to us—it’s a culture, a community, and a passion that runs deep. Will Street Outlaws 405 Return in 2025? So, what’s the final word? While there’s no official announcement yet, things are definitely looking hopeful. The 405 crew is still dropping hints, engaging with fans, and staying active on social media. If the potential filming dates hold up, we could be gearing up for a 2025 season  sooner than expected. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Until then, all we can do is keep the conversation going. Stay active in the community, drop your thoughts on the forums, and make sure the networks know just how badly we want the 405 back on the streets.

Hey everyone, welcome to Street Outlaws Talks—your ultimate source for all things Street Outlaws. Today, we’re diving into the latest updates on the No Prep Elite Championship standings after the second race in Rockingham. The season is heating up, and we’re here to break down who’s still in the running for the championship and what to expect in the upcoming races. After Rockingham, the championship standings show some racers pulling ahead, but nothing is set in stone yet. Here’s how the points stand after two events: Photo by Street Outlaws No Prep Talk The Race So Far After two events, Clay Cole has emerged as the leader, with Shawn Ellington and Scott Taylor tied for second place alongside Robin Roberts. Clay has been consistent and fast, but with 140 points still available, the championship is far from over. Racers like Ryan Martin and Giuseppe Gentile are also staying competitive and have a good chance to shake things up in the next few events. For others, like Kye Kelly, Justin Swanstrom, and Jim Howe, the road to the championship will be more challenging—but not impossible. They’ll need some major wins in the upcoming races to keep their championship hopes alive. Who Has the Best Shot? While it’s still mathematically possible for racers outside the top five to win, they’ll have to put on some of the best performances of their careers to catch up. Clay Cole’s lead is significant, but he’s not untouchable. If Shawn Ellington, Scott Taylor, or Ryan Martin can take him out early in one of the upcoming races, they could quickly close the gap. Photo by Radical Speed However, for drivers like Justin Swanstrom, Nate Sayler, and Jim Howe, they’ll need to win outright at the next few events and hope that Clay, Shawn, or Scott falter along the way. Fast Tracks Ahead Looking ahead, Steele, Alabama, and Texas Motorplex are up next. Both are known for being some of the fastest tracks on the No Prep circuit. Steele, in particular, is famous for its great air and consistently quick times, which could favor drivers with solid tune-ups and fast setups. Texas Motorplex is another track where we could see big performances. Rockingham was fast, but these next two events will be critical. Expect drivers like Nate Sayler, who already pulled off an upset by beating Shawn Ellington in the first round at Rockingham, to be a serious threat. Kayla Morton, one of the fastest racers on the list, could also make a move if she can find more consistency. Photo by Radical Speed Key Matchups to Watch The first round of the next event is already shaping up to be one for the books, with several high-stakes matchups set to go down: Shawn Ellington vs. Jeff Lutz Scott Taylor vs. Nate Sayler or Chris Rankin Clay Cole vs. Nate Sayler or Chris Rankin Nate Sayler is one of the biggest threats here. He’s proven he can take out top-tier racers, and if he faces off against Clay Cole or Scott Taylor, he could be a serious contender for an upset. These first-round matchups will likely determine how the championship battle plays out, as early exits from any of the top contenders could shift the points standings significantly. Final Thoughts As we move into the next few events, Clay Cole remains the frontrunner, but Shawn Ellington, Scott Taylor, and Ryan Martin are still very much in the race. With 140 points left to be awarded, anything can happen. Drivers like Nate Sayler, Kayla Morton, and Jim Howe could also play spoiler and shake up the standings if they perform well in Steele and Texas. Stay tuned to Street Outlaws Talks as we continue to follow the action. The No Prep Elite Championship is far from over, and we’ll be here to keep you updated every step of the way. Make sure to watch the upcoming races closely, because this season is only getting more exciting from here!

Hello, Street Outlaws fans! Buckle up because we’ve got some exciting news from the No Prep Kings Elite Series. Scott Taylor has just earned his second event win of the season at the Rockingham race, and it was nothing short of spectacular! Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  In a fierce competition, Scott faced off against some of the toughest racers in the game, including Kye Kelly, Jim Howe, Robin Roberts, and Clay Cole. These are some of the fastest drivers on the circuit, but Scott and his team showed everyone why they’re a force to be reckoned with. Despite challenging track conditions, especially in the first round, Scott remained laser-focused and consistent throughout the event. His car was dialed in and flying! Many people, myself included, had their bets on Clay Cole taking the win. Clay has been a top contender all season, but Scott Taylor’s performance was nothing short of flawless. He earned this victory fair and square, and his car is proving to be one of the fastest on the track. For those of you following Scott’s journey, you know how hard-earned this success is. He’s been racing in the No Prep Kings series for around seven years, and his first Invitational win only came this season, just a few weeks ago. Now, he’s clinched his second win, and it’s clear that Scott’s team has everything dialed in for the remainder of the season. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  What’s even more exciting is Scott’s current standing in the championship points race. Although official standings haven’t been released yet, Scott is likely sitting in third place, just behind Clay Cole and Robin Roberts. With only two races left in the season, anything can happen, and Scott is definitely still in the running for the championship. And remember, the next race will have points and a half up for grabs, with the final race offering double points. There’s a lot on the line! Earlier this season, Scott debuted a twin-turbo setup, but it didn’t work as expected on the tricky no prep surface. So, he made the decision to switch back to his tried-and-true Brad charger setup, and it’s paid off in a big way. After some additional tuning, testing, and shedding weight from the car, Scott’s machine is now one of the fastest on the track, and he’s racing with momentum. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  With just two races remaining, the championship is still wide open. Clay Cole may be leading in points, but Scott Taylor and the other top contenders are within striking distance. It’s going to be a nail-biting finish to the season! So, congratulations again to Scott Taylor and his team for an incredible victory at Rockingham. As always, we’ll be following the rest of the No Prep Kings Elite Series closely here at StreetOutlawsTalks.com , bringing you all the latest updates, news, and results. Stay tuned, and let’s see if Scott can pull off a remarkable comeback and take home the championship!

Welcome back to StreetOutlawsTalks.com ! Today, we’re diving into one of the most anticipated No Prep Kings (NPK) events of the season—Rockingham. Known for its fast track and exceptional air conditions, Rockingham has set the stage for what could be the fastest races we’ve seen in 2024. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Last night marked the first official evening of action, with testing underway and all eyes on some serious speed. As always, the NPK races kicked off at 5 p.m., and early indications point to a track that’s in prime condition. There’s already been plenty of buzz about the surface being well-prepped, which, combined with the low-density altitude and favorable weather, is expected to deliver blistering times down the strip. Perfect Conditions for Fast Passes Earlier in the day, Disco Dean gave us a glimpse behind the scenes, going live on social media to show his crew making key adjustments to his Cadillac. They were tweaking the car’s converter and dialing in a tighter setup to put down more power—something we expect many other teams are doing as well. The reasoning? The conditions are just too good to leave anything on the table. With cool air and a smooth track, there’s no doubt we’ll witness some of the fastest passes of the season. Last weekend in Tulsa, we saw incredibly close racing, and from the looks of it, Rockingham might push that intensity to another level. One standout moment from Tulsa was the epic battle between Jim Howe and Ryan Martin. It was a photo-finish race that’s still fresh in everyone’s minds—a perfect example of how tight the competition is in the Elite 16. Whether you were rooting for Jim or Ryan, it was impossible not to be impressed by the skill and speed on display. NPK fans know that these close finishes are becoming more common, and Rockingham promises even more of them. All Eyes on the Elite 16 The Elite 16 racers are in a league of their own, and as we've seen so far this season, it’s anyone’s game. Everyone in this elite group is fast, and the margins between victory and defeat are razor-thin. This is the kind of competition that makes No Prep Kings so exhilarating to watch. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  So, what’s on the horizon for Rockingham? The weather forecast is calling for a density altitude (DA) below 2,000 feet and water grains between 50 and 70. For the turbocharged and supercharged combinations, that means ideal conditions to crank out serious horsepower. ProChargers and screw blowers, in particular, will be making big power with this air. Will Anyone Dethrone Shawn Ellington? Shawn “Murder Nova” Ellington has held onto the top spot in the standings, and it’s safe to say he’s the man to beat. With a comfortable lead, he’s been running consistent and fast passes, leaving many wondering if anyone can catch him. Kai Kelly, one of the fan favorites, has shown flashes of brilliance, but he’s been unable to consistently beat Shawn this season. Kai’s car has the power, no doubt, but keeping the front end down and staying smooth has been a challenge. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  With Rockingham offering such perfect conditions, the big question is: can Kye or anyone else close the gap on Shawn? Only time will tell. It’s also worth watching the screw-blown cars, which have been extremely competitive, especially when they manage to keep all four wheels planted. Looking Ahead As we gear up for the next rounds at Rockingham, it’s clear that we’re in for a show. With the track in prime shape and teams pushing their setups to the limit, don’t be surprised if you see some record-breaking times. It’s going to be fast, it’s going to be close, and it’s definitely going to be exciting. Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com for updates, race recaps, and everything you need to know about the world of Street Outlaws No Prep Kings. We’ll be bringing you all the latest from Rockingham and beyond. Buckle up, because this season is far from over, and the racing is only getting better!

If you’ve been following Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings , you already know that Damon Merchant’s name was one of the hottest in the game last season. He made waves with his lethal Rogue Camaro, dominating the competition and leaving a lasting impression. Now, in a surprising twist, Merchant is selling that same beast of a car, and for those looking to get into the no prep world, this is an opportunity that doesn’t come around often. Photo by Dean Images Why Damon’s Camaro Was a Game-Changer Let’s take a quick trip down memory lane. Last season, Damon Merchant didn’t just participate—he crushed the competition. With a specific combination of setup and weight, Merchant made his mark by winning two NPK races . Not only that, he ended the season ranked number one for the Saturday events  in the point standings, a huge accomplishment considering the talent pool in the NPK series. Even though he didn’t officially take home the Season 6 championship title, being the top driver in Saturday’s standings speaks volumes about both Damon’s driving skills and the Rogue Camaro’s performance. That car was built for dominance, and Damon’s combination made it a serious threat on the track. The Rogue Camaro: Up for Grabs at a Steal So, why is this such a big deal? Damon is now offering the Rogue Camaro for sale as a roller with electronics  for $105,000 . For those unfamiliar, a “roller” means you’re getting everything except the engine, transmission, and a few other key components. But make no mistake—this isn’t just any car. The Camaro is built on a 251 chassis , and it’s been proven on the track time and time again. Photo by Damon Merchant Here’s where things get really interesting: If you were to build a chassis like this brand new, you’d be looking at spending upwards of $200,000 , and that’s just for the chassis alone! The fact that you can get Damon’s car, which has already proven itself in competition, for half that price is an incredible deal. And let’s not forget, this Camaro has some serious numbers to back it up—it’s been in the 920s for 60-foot times  and clocked 240s to the 330-foot mark . Damon’s got the timeslips to prove it, so you know this car is no slouch. What Does This Mean for Damon Merchant’s Future? With the Camaro up for sale, a lot of fans are wondering what’s next for Damon. Does this mean he’s stepping away from No Prep Kings ? While it’s hard to say for sure, it’s worth noting that Damon hasn’t announced any concrete plans for next season. However, we’re all hoping this isn’t the last we see of him. Damon’s story is one that resonates with a lot of fans—he came in as the “little guy” without the massive stacks of cash or an army of spare engines. He showed up with his truck, trailer, and this Camaro, and he took on the best in the business. It’s a true underdog story, and that’s part of what makes Damon so likable in the Street Outlaws  community. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  While it seems unlikely he’ll be running in NPK  next year, it would be great to see him pop up in other no prep events or maybe even behind the wheel of a new big-tire car. Regardless of what the future holds, Damon’s impact on last season won’t be forgotten anytime soon. What’s Next for the Rogue Camaro? So, who’s going to be the lucky buyer of the Rogue Camaro? That’s the big question right now. For anyone serious about no prep racing, this is an opportunity you don’t want to pass up. Damon’s car was nothing short of lethal last season, and with its proven performance, whoever buys it could easily make a name for themselves in the No Prep Kings  or other racing circuits. It’ll be exciting to see if the Rogue Camaro will make its way back onto the track with a new owner, or if it will be repurposed for other racing formats. Either way, this car is a piece of Street Outlaws  history, and it’ll be interesting to see what happens next. Final Thoughts Damon Merchant’s Rogue Camaro is a true force in the no prep racing world. Its dominance last season wasn’t a fluke, and for $105,000, someone is going to walk away with a car that’s ready to take on the track. We hope to see Damon back in action soon, whether it’s in No Prep Kings  or another series. His story, his approach, and his relentless spirit are what make Street Outlaws  so much fun to watch. If you’re in the market for a proven no prep killer, this Camaro could be the next weapon in your arsenal.

Hey everyone! Welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks, where we dive into all the latest updates and action from the world of Street Outlaws. Today, we’re bringing you some exciting news about the OG Murder Nova and the possibility that it could be ready to shake things up in next year’s No Prep Kings (NPK) series. Photo by Annette Bauer Creative The OG Murder Nova is Getting Some Major Love As many of you know, the OG Murder Nova has been a fan favorite for years. This iconic car, driven by Shawn “Murder Nova” Ellington, has been through quite a few changes, and now it's back in the shop getting some significant upgrades. According to recent updates from Shawn’s Facebook page, the OG is currently at DMC Racing, the same chassis shop that originally built it around 2020-2021. It’s getting some serious attention, and the possibilities are looking pretty exciting for what’s next! The chassis that was installed a few years back was top-notch, although, at the time, it wasn’t quite as light as they wanted it to be. Even though the car had an excellent setup, it was still a bit on the heavy side because it didn’t have much titanium. And as many of you gearheads know, titanium isn’t cheap, but it's a game-changer when it comes to shaving off weight. What Can We Expect from These Upgrades? One of the key changes that’s likely happening is a reduction in the car’s overall weight. Lighter cars have a huge advantage in drag racing, especially in competitive series like NPK. The team at DMC Racing is working on installing titanium parts, along with a few other upgrades, to get the OG Murder Nova closer to that magic 2,800 lb mark. If they can get the weight down, the car’s performance is bound to improve on both small and big tires. Photo by Isky Racing Cams What’s really exciting is that even though the car is currently running an older Prine Hemi MH5 motor, it still packs a punch. The MH5 has proven to be a beast, and Chris Rankin, who’s also running one, has been extremely fast lately. So, it’s clear that the OG Murder Nova still has plenty of potential under the hood. A Potential No Prep Kings Contender? Here’s where things get really interesting. Shawn himself has hinted that the OG Murder Nova could make its way to No Prep Kings racing next season. This is big news because, as we know, Shawn's current NPK car is performing incredibly well—it’s currently sitting at the top of the NPK points standings, which is a huge accomplishment. But the truth is, the OG Murder Nova might have an even better chassis than the current NPK car. If Shawn and the team can get the weight down and possibly upgrade the engine to the newer MH7 motor, this car could be a serious contender in No Prep Kings or No Prep Elite next year. The OG Murder Nova has already proven its worth on both small and big tires, so it’s not hard to imagine it tearing up the track in NPK. What’s Next for Shawn and the OG? For now, the OG Murder Nova is still at DMC Racing, getting all these upgrades. But if things go as planned, we could see it back in action soon, possibly with a brand new look and some serious speed improvements. Shawn has hinted at releasing a video update on their YouTube channel, so we’re all waiting to hear more about what’s going down with the build. Photo by Isky Racing Cams In the meantime, the current NPK car is still going strong, holding onto that #1 spot in the championship standings. But could the OG be the car to take Shawn to a whole new level next season? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—next year’s NPK season could be even more exciting if the OG Murder Nova joins the ranks. So, what do you guys think? Could the OG Murder Nova be the next NPK champion car? Drop a comment below and let us know your thoughts. And as always, stay tuned to Street Outlaws Talks for all the latest updates on your favorite racers and cars. Keep it fast, keep it loud, and we’ll see you at the track!

The Street Outlaws scene is buzzing with excitement, and if you’ve been keeping up with all things Monza, then you know that his iconic split bumper Camaro is getting a major overhaul. Here at Street Outlaws Talks, we’ve been following this build closely, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated comebacks in the racing world. So, what’s in store for Monza’s beast? Let’s dive into the details! Photo by Team Monza 405  A New Era for Monza's Camaro For those who’ve been fans of the Street Outlaws franchise, Monza’s Camaro is legendary. Over the years, we’ve seen this car go through several transformations, each one making it faster and more competitive. From the initial 632 cubic-inch nitrous motor to the 765 cubic-inch big block, and then the transition to the powerful twin-turbo 481X combo, Monza’s car has always been a force to be reckoned with. The latest news? Monza’s Camaro is moving away from the twin-turbo setup and going ProCharger . That’s right, the split bumper Camaro is gearing up for a serious power boost, and it’s going to be lighter, faster, and more aggressive than ever before. A Lighter and Faster Build In this new build, Monza is making some strategic changes to increase the car's speed and handling. The first major shift is weight reduction. With the use of titanium components , the car is shedding pounds and optimizing its weight distribution. Monza also plans to move the motor back a few inches, improving the car’s balance and performance. These adjustments should make the Camaro an absolute monster both on the street and in competitive races. Photo by Team Monza 405  The ProCharger Power The heart of this rebuild is the ProCharger F4X 136 , a highly controversial but undeniably powerful blower. Fans of NPK (No Prep Kings) will remember the drama surrounding this ProCharger, as it was a key player in the weight break discussions of Season 6. Despite the controversy, there’s no denying the F4X 136’s ability to generate massive horsepower. Interestingly, the F4X 136 is believed to be a rebranded version of the earlier F4 140, which has become a staple in competitive racing. The ProCharger Hemi combination has been one of the most potent setups in recent NPK seasons, and it’s likely Monza’s Camaro will follow this proven path. What Engine is Coming? One of the big questions surrounding Monza’s Camaro is: What engine will he pair with the ProCharger?  While nothing is confirmed, the safe bet is on a Hemi. Monza has been working closely with ProLine Racing , and if history is any indication, the Hemi-ProCharger setup would be a logical and powerful choice. It’s the combination that has dominated in recent years, offering the best of both worlds when it comes to street and track performance. Photo by Team Monza 405  While Monza is not currently competing in NPK, the door is always open for him to take this beast to future no-prep events, or even hit the streets in some of the most grueling real no-prep races out there. There’s also a lot of speculation about whether Monza will take his rebuilt Camaro back to street racing roots, possibly even on smaller tires to compete in true no-prep races. Whatever the case may be, this build is all about versatility and maximum performance. What’s Next for Monza? The anticipation for Monza’s split bumper Camaro is through the roof, and fans of Street Outlaws can’t wait to see this car back in action. With the lightweight build, ProCharger power, and a potential Hemi under the hood, this Camaro will be faster than ever. Whether we see it on the street or at a no-prep event, one thing is certain—Monza isn’t playing around. We at Street Outlaws Talks  are excited to see how this build evolves, and we’ll be keeping you updated every step of the way. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as we watch one of the baddest cars in the game make its return. Stay Tuned for More! Make sure to subscribe to Street Outlaws Talks for all the latest on Monza’s Camaro and everything happening in the Street Outlaws world. From race updates to build breakdowns, we’ve got you covered. Let’s see how fast Monza’s split bumper can go in 2024!

Welcome to Street Outlaws Talks, your one-stop shop for all the latest news, updates, and insights into the exciting world of Street Outlaws! In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into the current No Prep Kings (NPK) championship points standings following the recent Tulsa race. If you’ve been keeping up with the intense competition, you’ll want to stick around as we break down the key highlights, the leaders, and what to expect in the upcoming races. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Tulsa Race Recap: A First for Clay Cole The action-packed event in Tulsa did not disappoint! The standout moment was Clay Cole’s  performance, where he not only reached the finals but also secured his first-ever NPK event win . This major victory has given Clay a significant boost in the championship standings. As for Shawn Ellington , who was already the points leader coming into Tulsa, he made it to the finals but was ultimately bested by Clay. Despite this, Shawn maintains a comfortable lead over his rivals. However, with the next two races offering points-and-a-half (that’s 15 points per round ), the competition is heating up fast, and his lead could still shrink. Points Standings After Tulsa: Who’s on Top? Following Tulsa, Shawn  remains at the top of the leaderboard, but Clay Cole has jumped into the second position. Meanwhile, Ryan Martin  and Robin Roberts  are tied with Clay, making the top of the standings incredibly tight. Here’s how the points shake out after the Tulsa race: Photo by Street Outlaws No Prep Talk What’s Next? Points and a Half, Double Points, and Tight Racing Ahead The next two races are going to be crucial, with points-and-a-half  up for grabs, meaning each round will be worth 15 points. This could shake up the standings in a major way, especially since the final race  will offer double points . Even though Shawn has a strong lead, a single bad day could open the door for others to surge ahead. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  This season has already shown that anything can happen, with Shawn experiencing some tough days earlier on. With everything on the line in the final races, every round matters more than ever. Upcoming Matchups: Shawn, Robin Roberts, and More Looking ahead, the first-round matchups for the next race are shaping up to be intense. Shawn  is set to go head-to-head with either Chris Rankin  or Nate Saylor , while Robin Roberts  will face off against either Jeff Lutz  or Jim Howe . Robin had some tough luck in Tulsa with his car blowing up, so he’ll need a quick recovery to stay competitive. These matchups add even more excitement as the season barrels toward its conclusion. With the championship and a $150,000 prize on the line, the pressure is mounting for every driver. The Final Races: Rockingham and Beyond All eyes are now on the upcoming races, especially at Rockingham , which is known for its fast track and great conditions. With only two races left, things are set to get even more intense, and the competition for the No Prep Kings championship will be fiercer than ever. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Can Shawn Hold On? While Shawn currently holds an 80-point lead over some of the competition, the next few races will be critical. The points structure for the final events makes it possible for anyone in the top rankings—Clay Cole, Ryan Martin, or even Robin Roberts—to make a move. A bad day for Shawn could turn the standings upside down, so the pressure is on for him to perform at his best. The unpredictability of NPK racing means that anything can happen, and Tulsa showed us exactly that. With the final races approaching, the race to become the No Prep Elite Champion  is going to be one for the books! At Street Outlaws Talks, we’re here to bring you all the latest updates on this exciting championship season. Be sure to stay tuned for more coverage as we follow the drivers through the final stretch of the season! Keep up with all the latest from the No Prep Kings series and more, right here at Street Outlaws Talks!

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. One major point of interest is the debut of Adrian Herrera, a Texas-based racer, and his brand-new 1967 Chevelle. It's a car that has everyone talking—and for good reason! Photo by Street Outlaws: No Prep Elite Drag Racing Talk 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. Photo by Street Outlaws: No Prep Elite Drag Racing Talk 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. Photo by Street Outlaws: No Prep Elite Drag Racing Talk 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. At Street Outlaws Talks , we’re here to keep you updated on all things No Prep Kings and Street Outlaws. Whether you’re a hardcore fan or new to the sport, there’s always something exciting around the corner. Stay tuned for more updates, and best of luck to Adrian Herrera as he aims to make a powerful entrance into the No Prep scene!

At Street Outlaws Talks, we’re always excited to bring you the latest and greatest from the world of No Prep Kings (NPK) and street racing. Today, we’ve got some exciting news for those of you who have been itching to get your hands on a serious race car. Two competitive NPK cars might be hitting the market soon, and if you’re in the hunt for a proven performer, this could be your chance. Photo by Lil Legend "Bobby Ducote"  Bobby Kotti's Firebird – A Contender on the Track First up, we’ve got Bobby Kotti’s Firebird. This car isn’t just any build—it’s a machine that’s already earned its stripes in the No Prep Kings series. Built only two to three years ago, it’s still fresh and fast enough to hang with some of the best. In fact, Bobby's Firebird has made it to the Elite 16, meaning it's currently ranked among the top 16 cars in the series. While it may not be a top-five performer just yet, it’s no slouch, either. The car consistently runs low 4.80s to high 4.70s in the eighth mile, making it a strong contender at any No Prep event. And remember, this is in a series where the top cars are hitting mid-4.60s. The car is already a proven competitor, and with the right upgrades, it could potentially crack into the next level. Photo by Lil Legend "Bobby Ducote"  Bobby is considering selling the car as a full package, which includes not just the Firebird itself but two engines—yes, two! If you’re serious about NPK racing, having a spare engine is a huge plus. He’s also throwing in a spare transmission (though that might still be up for debate). It’s a killer deal for someone who wants to jump into the sport with a competitive car that’s ready to go. Doc’s No Prep Car – Old School Power, but Needing a New Chassis Next, we’ve got Doc, who’s also considering putting his No Prep car up for sale. Now, this car has been around for a while, and while it's got all the power in the world under the hood—a screw-blown Hemi, to be exact—the chassis just isn’t cutting it for today's NPK events. The car was originally built for a different era of racing, and while it still packs a punch, it’s just not competitive on the high-quality tracks we see at NPK events today. Photo by Street Beast "Doc"  That said, this car would still be an absolute beast at a true no prep event. If you’re into the rougher, less-groomed tracks where raw power and driving skill matter more than a perfect chassis setup, this car could be exactly what you need. Doc’s car is fully capable of running in the high 3.80s to low 3.90s in the eighth mile, which would make it highly competitive in any no prep series outside of NPK. But if you’re looking to run with the big dogs in NPK, you’d need to make some significant chassis upgrades. Why Are These Cars Being Sold? You might be wondering, why would anyone sell these cars? Well, it all comes down to performance ceilings and future potential. Bobby is likely looking to build something new with more room for growth. His Firebird is already a fast car, but in a sport where tenths of a second make all the difference, racers are always looking for that edge. By selling this car, he can start fresh with something that may have even more potential. Photo by Street Beast "Doc"  Doc, on the other hand, has the opposite problem—he’s got the power but doesn’t have the chassis to make the most of it in NPK events. Rather than invest heavily in upgrading the chassis, it might make more sense for him to sell the car to someone who can make use of it in a different type of racing. What Does This Mean for You? If you’re in the market for a serious No Prep car, now might be the perfect time to buy. Bobby’s Firebird is a ready-made NPK contender, and Doc’s car would dominate in more traditional no prep settings. These opportunities don’t come around often, so if you’re serious about getting into No Prep Kings—or no prep racing in general—these cars are worth a serious look.

If you’ve spent any time in the street racing world, you know the name “Big Chief” is synonymous with grit, precision, and heart-pounding excitement. But recently, the talk around Chief hasn’t just been about his legendary status. It’s about his new—or should we say, old—engine choice. Photo by Big Chief 405 Yeah, you read that right. While most racers are chasing the newest, flashiest power plants, Big Chief made a bold move by resurrecting an engine from his past. This isn’t just a blast from the past—it’s a calculated decision that might just give him a huge advantage on the streets. Let’s dive into why Chief’s choice of engine is shaking things up and why it might be the smartest move he’s made in a long time. A Return to the Pontiac: Not Just About Nostalgia When word spread that Big Chief was rolling out a new engine, fans and racers alike went into a frenzy of speculation. Would he go for a monstrous Hemi? Or maybe a high-tech 41X? Everyone expected him to throw down with the kind of cutting-edge horsepower that dominates in races like No Prep Kings (NPK). Instead, Big Chief threw everyone for a loop by bringing back an engine from his glory days—the Pontiac motor that once powered his legendary ride, “The Crow.” Why bring back an old relic instead of chasing the latest and greatest? The answer lies in Big Chief’s deep understanding of what really matters in street racing. The Streets Play by Their Own Rules Sure, in NPK or on a slick, prepared track, raw horsepower is king. The Hemis and 41Xs are beastly engines that can throw down serious power in those controlled environments. But the streets are a different animal entirely. Street racing isn’t just about who’s got the most horsepower under the hood. It’s about balance. It’s about control. It’s about knowing how to make your car respond to the unpredictable conditions of rough asphalt, tight lanes, and chaotic surroundings. Photo by Big Chief 405 This is where Big Chief’s Pontiac engine shines. He’s not just choosing an engine—he’s choosing a powertrain that he knows  like the back of his hand. It’s an engine that he’s danced with before, one that’s proven itself in the heat of street battles. Back in 2017, that same Pontiac motor helped Chief own the streets with finesse. It wasn’t just about the horsepower—it was about the connection between man and machine. Chief knew how to handle it, how to adapt to every curve, bump, and crack in the road. That’s something you can’t just replace with a bigger, badder engine. Why the Pontiac is the Perfect Weapon for the Streets Let’s break it down. Street racing demands more than just brute force—it demands a balance of power, control, and adaptability. Big Chief’s Pontiac motor, while not the most modern, is perfectly suited for the streets. He knows its quirks, its strengths, and exactly how to make it work in the raw, unpredictable environment of street racing. In contrast, a Hemi might dominate on the polished tracks of NPK, but on the streets, it could be a handful. Too much power, too little control, and suddenly the fastest car isn’t crossing the finish line first. Big Chief isn’t just about following trends or chasing after trophies. He’s about racing smart, and that’s why the Pontiac engine is such a brilliant choice for him. It’s not the flashiest, but it’s got heart—and in street racing, that counts for a lot more than horsepower. The Difference Between Street and Track Racing One key thing to remember is that Big Chief isn’t here to dominate NPK. Sure, those events are thrilling, and the competition is fierce. But Chief’s heart has always been in street racing, where it’s not about lap times or fancy setups. It’s about knowing the streets, feeling the asphalt under your tires, and outsmarting your opponents in a way only a seasoned street racer can. While some might wonder whether the Pontiac can keep up with the NPK monsters, Chief’s not interested in that game. He’s here for the streets—and the Pontiac is the perfect weapon for the gritty, high-stakes world of street racing. Big Chief’s Street Advantage At the end of the day, what sets Big Chief apart isn’t just his engine choice—it’s his deep connection to the streets. While everyone else is focused on building the fastest, flashiest cars, Chief is staying true to his roots. He knows that in street racing, it’s not always the car with the most power that wins—it’s the one with the best balance, control, and adaptability. Photo by Big Chief 405 Big Chief’s Pontiac motor might not turn heads for its raw horsepower, but it’s got something more important: heart. And in the world of street racing, that’s what separates the good from the legendary. The Takeaway So, what’s the real story behind Big Chief’s decision to bring back his Pontiac engine? It’s simple—he knows that success on the streets isn’t just about having the newest, most powerful engine. It’s about knowing your car inside and out. It’s about having the experience and skill to make it work in the unpredictable chaos of street racing. At Street Outlaws Talks , we’re all about celebrating racers like Big Chief who stay true to the streets. His decision to bring back the Pontiac isn’t just a throwback to the past—it’s a reminder that racing is as much about grit and heart as it is about horsepower. And that’s why Big Chief will always be a step ahead of the competition.

Welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks, where we keep you up to date with all things No Prep Kings and Street Outlaws! Today, we’re diving into some exciting news that’s been buzzing around the racing community—Ryan Martin and the Fireball Camaro are making big waves as we head into the Michigan stop of the NPK series. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Ryan Martin, a fan favorite and fierce competitor, has been teasing the return of his Fireball Camaro to No Prep Kings racing. With photos of the car popping up in trailers and during testing sessions, the buzz is real. His crew, led by Richard Row, has been hard at work getting this iconic car ready for action, and Michigan looks like it could be the perfect track for Fireball’s triumphant return. Why Fireball Camaro is One to Watch If you’ve been following Ryan this season, you know he’s been bouncing between cars, including his gray Camaro, which he’s had some decent runs with. But let’s be honest—it's the Fireball Camaro that everyone wants to see back on the track. Known for its sheer power and speed, this car has been in testing mode for a while now, and Ryan himself has said that it might be even faster than his current gray setup, especially on a well-prepped track. What makes Michigan so promising for the Fireball Camaro? Well, the track itself is known for being fast, and that’s exactly what this car needs to perform at its best. Ryan and his crew have been fine-tuning this beast for months, and after a few frustrating outings, it feels like they’ve got the right combo to take on the competition. The Technical Edge The Fireball Camaro runs a screw-blown combination, which Ryan has tested at 98% overdrive. According to Ryan’s crew, this setup could give him a major edge over other competitors who are still running ProCharger combinations. When comparing the two, especially in the world of Pro Mod racing, the screw-blown setups tend to outperform ProChargers on tracks with good prep. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  So far this season, Ryan has faced a lot of tough tracks that just didn’t allow the Fireball Camaro to apply all that power. But with Michigan being known for its fast surface and ideal weather conditions, this weekend could mark the Fireball’s big comeback. It’s been said that if this car can hook up properly, it’s faster than anything else Ryan has driven, including his current No. 1 contender, the gray car. Will Ryan Break His Winning Drought? It’s no secret that Ryan hasn’t been racking up as many wins as we’re used to seeing this season. But let’s not forget—this man is still the GOAT of NPK. Even though he’s currently sitting at number five in the standings, it’s clear that Ryan has the talent, the car, and the crew to turn things around at any moment. The Fireball Camaro’s return could be just the thing Ryan needs to get back to his winning ways. Earlier in the season, he experienced some issues when running the Fireball on marginal tracks. But now, with some of the best tracks of the season coming up—Michigan, Steele, Alabama, and Texas Motorplex—we’re expecting Ryan to be back in full force. And let’s not forget about the air quality at these tracks. Good air makes fast cars, and Ryan’s setup is perfectly suited to take advantage of that. All signs point to the Fireball Camaro being a serious contender in the remaining races, and don’t be surprised if you see Ryan standing in the winner’s circle sooner rather than later. What’s Next? As we look ahead to Michigan, the big question remains: Will Ryan Martin and the Fireball Camaro claim another NPK victory? If everything lines up like we think it will, we could be in for one heck of a race weekend. Make sure to stay tuned to Street Outlaws Talks  for all the latest updates, race recaps, and behind-the-scenes looks at the world of No Prep Kings.
