Episodes

No Prep Kings 1 (2018)

Beginning in 2018, No Prep Kings became the newest series in the Street Outlaws franchise, where racers took their racing from the street to the drag strip. "No Prep" means that "the race surface is not prepared ahead of time like it is in most forms of drag racing." (Source: Motortrend)

As of 2023, No Prep Kings (NPK) is now in Season 6. Ryan Martin was crowned the NPK Champion in 2019 (Season 3), 2021 (Season 4) and 2022 (Season 5), with his powertrain combo in 2021/2022 of a ProLine Hemi engine and ProCharger F-4X supercharger.

Fastest In America (2020-)

In this spin-off, 8 teams in the U.S. descend on cities to compete for the biggest street race.[4]

Harry Allen Generating Station Fatal Incident

During filming on August 7, 2022 into the morning of August 8, Ryan Fellows' gold Nissan S30 bodied car (known as a "Datsun 240Z" when sold in the United States) was involved in crash during filming of the fourth season of Street Outlaws: Fastest In America on Las Vegas Boulevard near the Harry Allen Generating Station in Las Vegas. During the race the vehicle was involved in a crash, rolled over and burst into flames, killing the driver.[5]

According to Sinclair News affiliate KSNV reports, Warner Bros. Discovery and Pilgrim Media Group (producers) had not authorized a film permit but had a Nevada Department of Transportation permit to close the street for filming.[6]

The incident reignited a controversy from 2015, when the National Hot Rod Association threatened to revoke licenses of competitors who participate in Street Outlaws. NHRA events, held on closed circuits, have necessary crash walls and catch fencing, along with rescue times at proper points. Street Outlaws shows filmed on streets do not have barriers and it is unknown if safety crews are on the level of the NHRA Safety Safari.[7]

A racing video game based on the series, Street Outlaws: The List, was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 22, 2019, and for Microsoft Windows on November 29, 2019. It was developed by Team6 Game Studios and published by GameMill Entertainment in North America and Maximum Games in Europe.[8] Switch Player gave the game 2 out of 5 stars and summarized that "Street Outlaws: The List is a total drag. Not only is the racing boring to the level of watching paint dry, but the mechanical upgrading of vehicles is complex for those who aren't knowledgeable about cars. Only devout fans of the show or hardcore racing fans will find pleasure here."[9]
