Take a look at this, Kicked Off Street Outlaws: Where the Cast Members Really Ended Up After the Cameras Stopped Rolling!
For years, Street Outlaws turned late-night Oklahoma City street racing into mainstream television. But not every cast member exited on their own terms. Some walked away after behind-the-scenes conflicts. Others vanished after devastating crashes, legal trouble, or tragedy.
What most fans miss is this: getting “written off” the show rarely ended a racer’s career. In many cases, it forced them back to what they’ve always been—builders, hustlers, and competitors who survive with shop lights, sponsorship grind, and raw determination long after the cameras move on.
Here is what really happened to the racers featured in the transcript, corrected with their real names, and where they are now.
Big Chief (Justin “Big Chief” Shearer): The Race Master Who Walked Away
For nearly a decade, Justin “Big Chief” Shearer was the face of the 405 and the race master who helped define Street Outlaws. As the transcript explains, he stopped filming around early 2022 and later attributed it to creative differences—specifically producer pressure and rules that, in his view, pulled the show away from authentic street racing toward manufactured drama.
Where Big Chief is now:
Chief remains active outside Discovery’s orbit, focusing on independent racing, his projects (including the famous Pontiac Firebird “The Crow”), and his online presence.
Murder Nova (Shawn Ellington): From TV Fan Favorite to High-Level Drag Racing
If Chief was the voice of the 405, Shawn “Murder Nova” Ellington became one of its biggest fan magnets—known for brutal hits, dry humor, and a relentless work ethic.
As the transcript notes, after Chief’s departure, Murder Nova became a central on-screen figure and leaned into strip racing and the broader no-prep world. The big takeaway is that he has continued building his brand and racing program beyond TV exposure—exactly what separates long-term racers from short-term reality stars.
Where Murder Nova is now:
Active in modern drag racing ecosystems (events, content, merch, sponsorships) and continuing to evolve his driving opportunities.
Reaper (James “Reaper” Goad): The Loud Rival Who Rebuilt After Disaster
The transcript’s “James Reaper Go” is another naming issue; the racer is James “Reaper” Goad (commonly referenced simply as “Reaper”). He was positioned on the show as a loud, confrontational rival who criticized the politics of list racing.
Then came the turning point described in the transcript: a highway trailer fire that destroyed his cars and forced a total reset. The core narrative is resilience—fans supported him, he rebuilt, and he returned to compete at a high level despite repeated setbacks.
Where Reaper is now:
Operating through his shop/brand, racing selectively, selling merch, and maintaining a direct, no-filter media presence.
Flip (Tyler “Flip” Priddy): A Tragedy That Shaped Early Street Outlaws
Flip’s story remains one of the most emotional chapters in Street Outlaws history. Tyler “Flip” Priddy died in 2013 at age 31, and the cause was kept private publicly.
His death became part of the show’s early identity—because it happened during the era when the 405 scene was still raw, close-knit, and not yet a national brand.
Where Flip is now:
Flip’s legacy lives through the earliest seasons, fan tributes, and the ongoing respect paid to him by the 405 community.
Kamikaze Chris Day: The Elco, the Crash, and the Comeback
The transcript calls him “Chris Kamicazi Day,” but the correct name is “Kamikaze” Chris Day.
He became a fan favorite with the El Camino (“The Elco”), and his violent crash is widely remembered as one of the show’s most shocking moments. He survived, and the aftermath involved rebuilding and re-centering his racing life around what was still possible.
Where Kamikaze Chris Day is now:
Lower-profile compared with peak TV years, but still strongly associated with the Elco legacy and the 405 culture.
Shane McAlary: The Blackbird Vega Crash and the Quiet Return
The transcript’s “Shane McCalli” is incorrect; the Blackbird Vega driver is Shane McAlary.
McAlary suffered a major crash during the show’s filming era, survived, and continued forward with rebuilds and a more measured approach to appearances and racing.
Where Shane McAlary is now:
Active to varying degrees through local racing, business life, and occasional content/updates tied to the Blackbird Vega identity.
Chuck Seitsinger: Death Trap, Reputation Damage, and a Second Act
The transcript incorrectly names him “Chuck Sattinger.” The racer is Chuck Seitsinger, the outspoken driver of the 1989 Fox Body Mustang “Death Trap.”
He has long been one of the show’s most recognizable personalities, with deep roots in the OKC performance world and a reputation for saying what others won’t.
Where Chuck Seitsinger is now:
Continuing in the performance/racing world with the Death Trap identity and business presence remaining central to his brand.
(Note: The transcript makes specific legal-claim assertions. I have not repeated those claims as stated because your request was to correct names, and the most reliable sources retrieved here primarily confirm identity and background—not the full legal narrative.)
The Real Pattern After Street Outlaws
When you strip away TV edits and story arcs, the post-Street Outlaws outcome is consistent:
-
The racers who survived did it by owning their brand (YouTube, merch, sponsorships)
-
Building cars became the “real paycheck” again
-
Racing didn’t end—it simply moved to events, hustles, and platforms outside Discovery
The show can end. The outlaw mentality does not.
