When racers put their cars on the track during a racing event, they’re at the liberty not only of what they can control as the driver of their car, but also the uncontrollable factors at hand. There are a million considerations from mechanical workings to track conditions. Who knows how their luck pans out during the race? Just about anything can happen and this is what keeps fans on the edge of their seats. This time, it’s Dominator in the left lane taking on Squirrel in the right. It’s a battle that has both drivers going sideways! This race at Outlaw Armageddon definitely was one that ended up escalating quickly. Photo by National No Prep Racing Association To those that have not heard of him, his name is Jared McNickle but most of the fans know him as Squirrel and there is a very reasonable reason for the nickname, you see, it involves his old car, which used to get squirrelly at the track and that’s why people started calling him Squirrel. His old car used to be a small tire car, but now he decided to step up the game and enter the big tire competition with a twin turbo Shelby GT 500 and so far he has been 3-0 in this competition and now he is about to face a guy that is much more famous than him, he is about to race Dominator, who is also 3-0 at this competition. As the cars rocketed off of the line, it looked like Squirrel had the win in the bag. Almost immediately, Dominator lost traction and veered toward the wall. Fortunately for him, though, he managed to pull the car out of harm’s way. Instead, Squirrel would end up getting out of shape further down the track. While a lower speed loss of traction might be easier to correct, the higher speed skid wasn’t so repairable. In fact, there was almost no chance that the driver would be able to recover from this one. Photo by National No Prep Racing Association We watch the incident as the machine slides out with a head of steam. The car hit one wall before veering across the track and nearly involving Dominator as well. Both of the drivers would escape without life-threating injuries, which is the most important thing in any situation like this. You never want to be in a situation like this and the majority of us would never even wish this on our worst enemies. However, once it begins to unfold, all that the drivers can do is hold on and hope for the best! Sometimes, they come out on all fours and other times, things don’t go so well. Check out the walk down memory lane in the video of National No Prep below. This is why you have to be ready for just about any situation when you roll up to that starting line!

Believe it or not, Daddy Dave of Street Outlaws has a couple of days off for himself every now and then. With such a hectic schedule that takes Dave touring all over the country, racing in several different formats and on different television shows, and almost seems like he’s always on the move, either working on his car or racing it. This time, though, the Street Outlaws fan favorite has a little bit of time to himself. As Dave fills us in, though, we learn that even when he has time off, he just can’t sit still. Dave says that this is when he gets bored and starts to spend money. Therefore, he has decided instead, to spend his time out in the garage making himself a little bit of money. That’s quite a work ethic, for somebody who already works harder than most people, to go and work even more when he has a couple of days off. On these days off, Dave brought the camera along for the ride so that fans could see what exactly he was up to. First, he showed us a new race car that a buddy dropped off and Dave is working on. However, that’s not the subject of this video. Instead, the star of the show this time is a short-bed Chevy that is driven by a 16-year-old girl that races the truck in a high school class. As she has outgrown the setup that the truck currently boasts, Dave is going to be working on a new motor and adding a ProCharger to it. Photo by Daddy Dave Racing Even though Dave tells us that he has done a variety of ProCharger setups, even some of the biggest names in the game make a mistake now and then. In this particular case, they’ve missed one crucial part of the instructions as it pertains to the water pump which had him spending a little bit of time searching online for some new parts. Photo by Daddy Dave Racing Below, we catch up with the latest from Daddy Dave Racing as he spends some relaxing time in the garage earning a couple of bucks. Video by Daddy Dave Racing
