  • Big Chief Knocks John Pizza Out of The Competition as The 405 Remains Undefeated

    As you may follow, Street Outlaws star Justin “Big Chief” Shearer has parted ways with the show to remain as real to the street as possible. He is not happy with the current state of the Street Outlaws show, and with this, he says that he is going to only focus on big tire racing. Photo by Big Chief 405 Facebook “I’m a street racer” he said in a video on “The Future of Big Chief on Street Outlaws” on Youtube. “I’ve been a street racer. Everyone has always told me to not give up on what has made you who you are now. Being a dumb street racer is what you got here. But that seems like that’s not going to cut it anymore. The bottom line is that I can’t stand up there and defend rules and decisions that I had no part of. And don’t agree with it, especially with a group of guys, who take it as seriously as we do. That’s the other flip side of the coin. While I know the rules and decisions that I am defending may not be my own and may not agree with them, it’s for a bigger cause, which is the TV show. We want to make sure that we have a good show.” Photo by Midwest Street Cars Youtube Without Big Chief, the show had a smaller impact on the public and the viewers than last season. In order to drag more attention to the OG show, Discovery UK has showed an old video when Big Chief and the 405 guys visited Chicago where they will do an out-of-town race between the fastest cars that Chicago has to offer versus the ones that Big Chief, Jeff Lutz, and the rest of the 405 crew have available. Photo by Discovery UK Youtube Big Chief is facing John Pizzi’s small tire car, and to try to make the race more interesting, these guys have a great on a car and a half and a hit for the small tire car, an advantage that should provide the boys from Chicago enough advantage to win the race. There are many ways to explain the difference in these cars, but let’s see it yourself by this below video, in which you will know, why Big Chief and 405 guys still remain undefeated.

  • Kye Kelley Brand-new Shocker is Ready for Championship Title against Ryan Martin in NPK 2022

    As you may know, Street Outlaws star Kye Kelley’s beloved Shocker – a third-generation Camaro ended up going down in a blaze of glory. This is because the car was involved in a nasty accident during a street test session as driven by one of Kelley’s friends. Fortunately, everybody did end up walking away from the incident. On Kelley’s Youtube channel, he told us the story of what exactly it was that happened to the car and how it got all wadded up. It would seem that Kelley wanted to lend the car to his friend to help with a racing effort. However, when push came to shove, the transition of drivers didn’t exactly go as easy as Kelley thought they would go. According to Kelley, the Shocker is a total loss but he doesn’t blame the driver for the situation. Photos by Kye Kelley Youtube Early this month “Street Outlaws” star Kye Kelley revealed his new purpose-built “No Prep Kings” Chevrolet Camaro, which was finished by Larry Jeffers Race Cars and powered by a Pat Musi 959 cubic-inch nitrous mill along with a Mark Micke TH400 transmission. The car is a replacement of sorts to the original “Shocker,” and will likewise take over starting-lineup duties in place of the later-model Camaro, “Aftershock,” that he’s been campaigning with considerable success. The new black-on-black “Shocker” rolled out of Jeffers’ shop at the most opportune of times, as the “No Prep Kings” circuit now has a much-needed seven-week hiatus. This will allow Kye and the Musi camp time to test and prepare for a run at the title against Ryan Martin and the rest of the top hitters in the series over the final seven races, which resume in Tulsa on August 12. Photos by Larry Jeffers Race Cars There were two big tires Shockers being built by Larry Jeffers Race Cars and the other one by West Race Cars, which is going to be a big tire street race car most likely to be ran on America’s List season 3. Kye Kelley definitely likes third-generation Camaros so he basically has three third-generation Camaros and we will see them all on Street Outlaws End Game, No Prep Kings and on America’s List or any other spin-off show on the street. Photo by Kye Kelley Instagram Let’s catch up with the car that will most certainly be turning heads on the final seven races of NPK 2022. It looks like Kelley and his Shocker will be back stronger than ever!

  • Kye Kelley New Buick Regal Unveil for No Prep Kings season 6

    Kye Kelley, a star of the "Street Outlaws No Prep Kings" series, revealed his new car for the 2023 campaign this week, adding to the already extensive variety of automobile makes and models in the series. The new car is a triple-black Buick Regal dubbed "JangAlang," and it's built by Wizard Race Cars in Holden, Louisiana. It marks a departure from Kelley's traditional third- and sixth-generation Camaros carrying the "Shocker" name, which he has campaigned since first bursting onto the "Street Outlaws" scene in 2015. While Kelley previously built and raced an '87 Regal named "Claude Banks" on the "Street Outlaws: End Game" show, "JangAlang" is the first Buick Regal to make an appearance in the NPK series. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing The new Regal features a screw-supercharged Hemi engine with a Noonan billet Hemi and PSI supercharger, confirming speculation that Kelley would transition away from his previous nitrous oxide combination. The screw supercharger combination is one of the most refined combinations in the sport, despite offseason parity adjustments, and is certain to keep Kelley competitive for the title. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing But it's not just the engine that sets "JangAlang" apart. The car's sleek, sinister design is nothing short of impressive, with its triple-black paint job and aggressive stance. The car's name, "JangAlang," is a nod to its menacing appearance and its potential to strike fear into the hearts of its opponents on the track. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing Kelley and his team will test the car ahead of the season six opener in Ohio on June 2-3 after finalizing the build. Fans of the NPK series have been eagerly anticipating the unveiling of Kelley's new ride, and "JangAlang" certainly lives up to the hype. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing This isn't the first unique body style from Wizard Race Cars either, as the team previously built Randy Williams' 1970 Dodge Challenger. With "JangAlang" as the newest addition to the NPK series, fans can't wait to see what other impressive rides the team at Wizard Race Cars has in store for the future. Video by Kye Kelley Racing

  • Brian Chucky Davis wins Big Tire Cash Days over Big Chief

    Cash Days was a 12 driver free-for-all, $1,000 buy-in with one winner of a $12,000 pot. It was grueling, tense and pushed the limits of all drivers and cars. It was an exciting event to watch and surely more exciting to race in. Cash Days is a yearly event that BoostedGT throws down in Texas and invites out some of the fastest drivers in the country. Obviously a few of the 405 OKC boys had to be there. If you’ve followed Big Chief and his channel, you must have seen his video that he was testing for a cash day race. It’s basically the crow’s return to street racing and it’s illegal real street cash day. After 5 years since the last filming of Street Outlaws real deal cash days on December 2015, they have been back with interesting illegal races. Video by Midwest Street Cars Photo by Blue Collar Street Racing This year on real deal Big Tire Cash Day, Brian Davis actually beat Big Chief. This’s also the first cash day win in his street racing career. As Big Chief said, cash day is the only thing that matters to him. This is only the second time he actually raced this year: War in the Woods and Cash Days. Chief’s car got loose and Brian’s car made a good pass, so congratulations on Brian Davis’s win.

  • Americas List Season 3 Is Going To Get Canceled As Soon As Big Chief Left

    During the America’s list racers have proven they’re willing to do whatever it takes to become the drivers who can go down any road, anywhere, anytime. And for the first time ever, racers from OKC, Memphis, Texas, NOLA, Detroit, Cali and everywhere in between will be ranked on a single list compiled of the best, baddest and fastest racers in the nation. Photo by Discovery Channel As we all know, another season of the popular Street Outlaws America’s List show is behind us and the winner is Ryan Martin and his popular red OG Fireball Camaro. First of all, we would like to congratulate the winner Ryan Martin, who showed that he and Javy are the people to beat on the streets of America, no matter where and when you line up against them on the streets. Photo by Fireball Camaro Facebook However, we also would like to mention JJ Da Boss and the rest of the Memphis crew who managed to get the famous Hummingbird back on the street after an incredibly devastating crash and not only get it running but managed to climb all the way to the top spot, only to be taken down by Ryan and end up at a respectable second place. In addition to JJ Da Boss, we cannot forget the success of Axman who had the best winning ratio out of all the racers and managed to climb all the way to the top 5. Photo by Discovery Channel Kye Kelley is the next racer that deserves credit, because, after a terrible start that included David Gates totaling the Shocker and leaving Kye without a race car, he managed to get his NPK car Aftershock to the racing location and slap Lizzy’s spare motor and still finished third, using the races as a shakedown for the brand-new combo that emerged from the crash. So what did all this incredible drama mean for the ratings of the show? Well, to be honest, we were expecting a rise in ratings and views of the show, but it appears that unfortunately, the show had a smaller impact on the public and the viewers than last season. Ratings by https://showbuzzdaily.com Let’s get right into the rating of season 1 which took place between April 21st, 2021 to July 5th, 2021. As you can see the table here, the ratings were pretty good started from 911,000 and 946,000 then the third episode, the third weekend, they hit over one million viewers. The show also did it second time in week seven where they actually had their highest ratings for an episode with 1.041,000 total viewers. Those numbers are definitely mind-blowing. Ratings by https://showbuzzdaily.com Looking at the ratings of season 2 from March 21st to June 27, 2022 the viewers were much lower but it was much more consistent. Almost every single episode was within the seven hundred thousand range for the viewers. Is this due to the fact that Big Chief is no longer the race master, or is it something else, that’s a big question until now. A lot of people have been saying America’s List is going to get canceled because the view is being lower. However, looking at the total views of season 2 and its rank overall the shows on TV, Street Outlaws America’s List is still in the top 50 TV Shows, there’s no mean that it’s going to get canceled. Furthermore, the show, the big tire cars, the out-of-town guys besides the 405 guys have got the big name on the street racing, so there is no reason for them to step away from that show. Ratings by https://showbuzzdaily.com What is your thought on the difference between season 1 and season 2 of Street Outlaws America’s List? Is it about the actual content itself or Big Chief wasn’t in season 2? Let’s talk about your reaction to the actual numbers of views in the below comment section.

  • Murder Nova Same Engine Combo with Ryan Martin?! NPK Getting A Little Twist This Year!

    The highly-anticipated No Prep Kings Season 6 is just around the corner, and fans of the show are eager to know what engine combination the infamous Murder Nova will be running this year. Photo by CPaulshock Photography For those who may not be familiar with the show, No Prep Kings is a popular drag racing series that pits some of the fastest street racers against each other in a no-prep format, where the racers have to race on an unprepared track surface, without any traction compound. The Murder Nova is one of the most iconic cars on the show, and it's no surprise that fans are eagerly awaiting news on what engine combo the car will be running this season. The car, which is owned by Shawn Ellington, has undergone several transformations over the years, with each iteration becoming more powerful and faster than the last. Photo by Murder Nova For the upcoming season, Shawn has been keeping the details of the engine combo under wraps, but there are a few rumors and speculations going around. One of the most popular theories is that the car will be running a twin-turbocharged LS engine, which is a common choice for many of the top racers on the show. In his original plan, he intended to use the OG car with a pro-charge Hemi, but he later changed his mind and purchased a new Proline Hemi mh7 engine. It appears that this season, like his fellow racer Ryan Martin, he will be using a pro-charge setup. This new setup is expected to provide a significant boost to the Murder Nova, especially since the rules for the no-prep Kings setup are so close. Since Sean has been using a pro-charger setup for a long time, he knows how to fine-tune them for optimal performance. Photo by Murder Nova But what about the possibility of a team deal? While nothing has been officially confirmed, fans are speculating that Ryan and Sean may share data and support each other if they end up with the same combination. This type of collaboration has been seen before at Mega Cash Days, where the OG Murder Nova and Ryan's Camaro shared the same engine setup. Photo by Fireball Camaro Regardless of what engine combo the Murder Nova will be running, fans are sure to be in for a thrilling season. Shawn Ellington and his team have always been known for pushing the boundaries and setting new records, and there's no doubt that they will be doing the same this year.

  • Justin “Big Chief” Shearer Won “War In The Woods” But Not Get Paid

    Justin Shearer, indisputably the face of the “Street Outlaws” franchise since its debut on Discovery nearly a decade ago, has been outspoken in recent months about his desire to stick to his simple street racing roots, and to do things his way. Putting those words into action, he chose not to participate in the recent season of “America’s List” because he did not agree with the rules for the taping of Street Outlaws America’s List. And so, on the same weekend his Oklahoma City racing peers were in Mohnton, Pennsylvania competing with all the glitz of the “No Prep Kings” series, fans of speed saw Shearer and girlfriend, Jackie Braasch, were competing at one of the nation’s least-known drag strips. Big Chief’s 1970 Pontiac GTO, the “Crow” Justin “Big Chief” Shearer scored a popular victory in his first no-prep appearance of the season at Brown County Dragway’s “War In The Woods” event Sunday afternoon. Shearer, driving his familiar 1970 Pontiac GTO, the “Crow” outlasted a host of big-tire challengers over the course of two days of rain-hampered eliminations, ultimately defeating Tim Bailey and his “Krusty” turbocharged C-10 pickup in the final. Shearer had been eyeing and preparing for War In The Woods, put on annually by Jeff Thomas at Brown County Raceway. Justin “Big Chief” Shearer was releasing the parachutes after wining the “War in the Woods” VI at Brown County Raceway (photo by 1320Vide.com Facebook) According to Jeff Thomas, who helped promote the War in the Woods event, Justin “Big Chief” Shearer was not paid for his appearance at the event. Justin “Big Chief” Shearer was getting ready to make a pass in his race car (photo by Justin Shearer Instagram) “Justin Shearer did not get paid to attend the race,” Thomas said in a Facebook post. “He didn’t ask for any special treatment at all. In fact, he specifically asked to be treated the same as everyone else. Dude just wanted to come race and get back to where it all started! I think it’s great for the sport in general and the fans!! Anyone who questioned if he would get down Brown County Dragway well now you know!! Lol. For everyone who says it’s so dangerous and you can’t get stopped on the big end this should clear that up!! “There was an issue first round in big tire when big chief raced Kerry in the black widow. Chief started his burnout and was told to stop by a track worker so chip draw could be finished. This was 100% a miscommunication mistake which I take full responsibility for! At any rate they pushed chief back and it was hot as hell, he took his helmet off and was waiting and then track workers said fire ‘em up. Chief didn’t have his helmet on and it took a min for him to get ready and Kerry had already fired up and was doing his burnout. This was just bad communication on our end and due to some problems with walkie talkies. We will learn from this and it won’t happen again!! In no way was big chief trying to burn down Kerry. Thought it would be better to address this and move on! This is legit exactly what happened!!” Justin Shearer previously said that he would only come back to the show for the 405 show. “I’m pretty much here,” he said late in the appearance. “I’m pretty much doing my own thing. The 405 show would be the only way if it was something different. That one means so much but it only means so much if it’s the same thing. If it’s not then it doesn’t mean sh*t to me.”

  • Jeff Lutz First Race after Terrible Crash Is in A Risky New Car

    Jeff Lutz is a well-known name in the world of drag racing. He's a seasoned veteran who has spent many years behind the wheel of some of the fastest and most powerful cars in the world. He is a talented driver who has achieved great success over the years, earning a reputation as a fierce competitor who is willing to take risks in order to win. However, after a terrible crash, many wondered if Jeff would ever race again. But he has not only returned to the track, he's doing so in a risky new car. The accident that Jeff suffered was a serious one, and it left him with some physical and emotional scars. After spending months recovering and reflecting, he made the decision to return to racing. And he's doing so in a car that's even more challenging than his previous ones. In 2021, Jeff got into a car accident with his '57 Chevy, which led him to require a new car. Being a fan of GTOs, Jeff saw this as an opportunity to utilize a GTO body and install another reliable big block Chevy engine under the hood. It's a beast of a machine, with a twin-turbo 540 cubic inch big block Chevy from Vinson Racing Engines that can generate over 4,000 horsepower! It's also incredibly fast, capable of reaching speeds of over 200 miles per hour in just a few seconds. But it's also a risky car to drive, even for someone as experienced as Jeff. He's worried that his nerves will get the best of him as he prepares to hit the road once again, particularly since he'll be racing in a car that wasn't built for the street. Photo by Discovery Australia Jeff's anxiety is understandable. After all, racing a high speeds is inherently dangerous. There are countless variables that can impact a race, from weather conditions to mechanical failures to the skill of the driver behind the wheel. When you're driving a car that was designed and built specifically for racing, there's a certain level of comfort that comes with knowing that every component of the vehicle has been engineered to perform optimally on the track. But when you're racing in a car that wasn't designed for street use, there are additional challenges to contend with. Photo by Discovery Australia Despite these risks, Jeff is undaunted. He sees the car as a challenge, one that he's determined to master. He's been spending countless hours testing and tuning the vehicle, working with his crew to get it just right. And while he knows that there's always a risk of another accident, he's confident that he can handle the car and avoid any serious crashes. Photo by Discovery Australia For Jeff, racing is more than just a hobby or a profession - it's a way of life. He's spent countless hours fine-tuning his skills and honing his craft, and he's always eager for the next opportunity to test himself against the best in the business. While there may be some anxiety and uncertainty involved in racing in a car that wasn't built for the street, Jeff knows that he has the talent, dedication, and drive to succeed. And with that mindset, he's sure to make his mark on the racing world once again. Video by Discovery Australia

  • Kye Kelley STORMS OFF After Being Caught Red-Lighting

    Discussions regarding various ideas can continue for hours on end in the street and grudge racing community. Regardless of the correctness of an argument or situation, these types of races tend to keep the argument alive by bending the situation in one person’s favor. This is because everyone is trying to gain a competitive advantage through a little bit of hustling. If one does not take part in this game, they may end up on the receiving end of somebody else’s hustle. The balance between competition and hustling is what draws people to entertainment offered up on platforms like Street Outlaws. Street racing involves many variables, and there is always room for argument. However, on a race track, timing systems make it harder to argue. Leaving the starting line on time seems like something that does not leave room for argument since the sensors do not lie. But, do they? Photo by Street Outlaws Down in the video below, we witness a dispute that arose when Kye Kelley raced against the Fireball Camaro and drew a red light, indicating that the car left early. However, an argument can be made because the Shocker Chevrolet Camaro appeared to be stationary until after the light turned green. In racing, where even inches matter, it is possible that the Camaro was staged too close to the beams beyond what a human eye could perceive, or maybe the timing system had an error because even machines are not perfect. Photo by Rush Discovery NZ Regardless of whom one supports, this is a situation that can be argued in either direction. Personally, it is not a situation that I would like to be in the middle of and held responsible for determining the outcome. Photo by Rush Discovery NZ While some fans have disputed the decision, arguing that the timing system may have been incorrect or that the penalty was too harsh, others have accepted the decision and pointed out that the rules of the sport are clear regarding jump starts. Video by Rush Discovery NZ In the end, the incident involving Kye Kelley and Ryan Martin is a stark reminder that racing is a sport that demands respect and adherence to its rules. While the disqualification may be disappointing for fans of Kelley, it should be viewed as a necessary step to uphold the integrity of the sport and ensure a level playing field for all participants.

  • Kayla Morton and Love Affair with Boosted GT

    "Street Outlaws" is a reality TV series featuring experienced drag racers who compete in Oklahoma City for a significant prize and title. The show premiered in June 2013 and quickly gained popularity among male audiences for its impressive display of cars, competitive dynamics, and adrenaline-fueled races that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. While the producers and cast initially struggled to figure everything out, the show's popularity continued to grow as the crew developed their newfound passion for the program. Interestingly, they never expected it to become such a big hit. Most of the show's cast members share a passion for fast-moving vehicles and have an insatiable need for speed. One of the more intriguing subplots of the show revolves around Kayla Morton's relationship with Boosted GT, also known as Chris Hamilton. Fans are eager for an update on whether they are still together. Who is Kayla Morton? Kayla Morton is a well-known TV personality and skilled driver who rose to fame by appearing on "Street Outlaws" and being in a relationship with one of the racers, Boosted GT. With a father who was an ex-Pro Stock racer, Kayla has established a name for herself both on and off the track. Kayla has spoken about growing up in the garage and thriving in a male-dominated industry. Her passion for cars and racing developed naturally, and she continued to learn and improve over time. While she initially raced for fun as a hobby, she eventually realized that she could use her skills to make money and launched a custom vehicle restoration shop. Her primary car was a 1993 Ford Fox Body Mustang that was specifically customized for drag racing. When Discovery and the team were seeking new challengers for the spin-off series, Kayla received a call from Big Chief asking her to participate in the show. After years of being on the show, Kayla took a break from racing but announced the return of the Hot Mess Express in December 2021, hoping to climb the ranks and earn some titles. Although Kayla makes drag racing appear effortless, the sport has put her life in danger on multiple occasions. In early 2022, news reports revealed that the 28-year-old driver had been involved in an accident after her fuel line came loose during a test drive at Houston Raceway Park. Nevertheless, Kayla's passion for speed runs deep in her bloodline, and this setback did not deter her from continuing to pursue her dreams. Who is Boosted GT? Boosted GT, whose real name is Chris Hamilton, is a drag racer and reality TV personality who gained fame from his appearances on "Street Outlaws". Chris spent his early years in Fort Worth, Texas, where he was just a regular kid with a love for cars. His father was already an avid car enthusiast and taught Chris the basics of car mechanics, including how to modify, repair, and replace engines. This knowledge proved invaluable to him when he began racing, as he didn't have to rely on a mechanic to fix his car for him. He traded in his first car, a 1987 S10 Blazer, for a Mustang and eventually acquired his signature yellow 1995 Ford Mustang, which he fitted with a turbo to make it race-ready for street racing. Boosted GT's involvement with Street Outlaws began when he participated in a race against the Oklahoma City crew in Texas, and the producers approached him to join the show as a regular in the third season.
