Lizzy Musi’s three race Street Outlaws No Prep Kings Season 3 win streak has come to an end. She was eliminated in the first-round. 

With her being eliminated, it opened the door for a new winner. Ryan Martin won the event at Route 66 Raceway in Elwood, Illinois on Saturday night.

Larry “Axman” Roach — his opponent in the final round — had problems during the burnout. Racemaster Chuck Seitsinger gave Roach a minute to get the car ready; however, it was broke. 

Martin made the solo pass for the win. He received the $40,000 prize for the win. 

This is Martin’s second win of the season. He won the season-opener that was postponed from the season-opener at Maryland International Raceway in Budds Creek, Maryland due to rain.

Martin had to complete the Maryland race during Memorial Day weekend at New England Dragway in Epping, New Hampshire on Friday night. 

So far this season, only Martin and Musi have wins through five events so far. 

Besides winning in New Hampshire, Musi also won at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway in Madison, Illinois in June. Then, she won at Firebird Raceway in Eagle, Idaho in July.

Musi was eliminated by Eric Bain in the first-round at Route 66 Raceway.

With the Route 66 Raceway event in the books, there is only four races left on the season. On Sept. 6-7, the taping will travel to Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, Colorado. Late that month, the taping will continue at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio on Sept. 20-21. 

There will be two tapings in October with a show taping at Palm Beach International Raceway in Jupiter, Florida on Oct. 11-12. The season will conclude at the Texas Motorplex on Oct. 25-26.

Lizzy Musi is the hottest driver in the Street Outlaws No Prep Kings right now. On Saturday, she won her third straight event at Firebird Raceway in Boise, Idaho.

Musi and her boyfriend Kye Kelley traveled nearly 3,000 miles from their residence in Mississippi to attend event No. 4 of the hit TV show. In the final round, she defeated the Fireball Camaro driven by Ryan Martin, who resides in Oklahoma.

Musi defeated Martin for her past two wins. She also defeated him at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway in Madison, Illinois in June.

The daughter of famed engine builder Pat Musi — who also drives for her father in the PDRA — also won at the second race of the season at New England Dragway in Epping, New Hampshire during Memorial Day weekend. During that event, Musi’s parents were on hand, as she was able to defeat her boyfriend Kye Kelley in the final round for the win.

Musi is one of two drivers to have a win on the show so far. Besides her three wins, Martin also has a win from the season-opener that had to be run in New Hampshire due to a postponement at Maryland International Raceway in Mechanicsville, Maryland on May 4th due to rain.

Discovery Channel will air these races at a later date. Expect for that announcement to come either in the fall or in possibly in early 2020.

Musi became the first female when she won the second event of the season at New England Dragway.

She has won two of the first three races of the season. Martin won the first race of the season that was postponed until May 24th in Epping, New Hampshire due to rain in Mechanicsville, Maryland on May 4.

When Musi won over Memorial Day weekend, her parents were there to see her win. This time; however, her father Pat was working, as he is the crew chief for Chad Green’s Pro Mod operation.

Green is competing this weekend at the 19th annual NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway in Bristol, Tennessee.

The NPK series will have nearly a month off before their next event. Event No. 4 of Season 3 will take place on July 12th and 13th at Firebird Raceway in Eagle, Idaho.

This accident happened at a no prep race at Amarillo Dragway in Amarillo, Texas.

Following his accident on Saturday night, he was take via an ambulance to a local hospital.

The no prep refers to the track with it feeling more like a public road. The rubber is removed from the track, as well as no traction compound.

His wife said on Sunday at 2 pm that his scans came back good. He suffered a serious condition, a bruised lung, and many bumps and bruises.

They even updated a photo of his helmet, which had cracks in it. As his wife Cassi said, they have to rebuild everything.
