Take a look at this, Kye Kelley Finally Gets a Real Pro Mod — Inside His Wild New Camaro Build!
In a thrilling new chapter for No Prep Kings superstar Kye Kelley, the Mississippi racer has officially leveled up — putting his powerhouse racing program into a purpose-built 6th-gen Camaro Pro Mod chassis courtesy of legendary builder Larry Jeffers. After years of battling in steel-body cars, Kelley is now stepping into a full-blown Pro Mod platform, and the excitement in his camp is unmistakable.
This build marks a huge moment not only for Kye, but for the future of his racing legacy as he gears up to take on Pro Mod competition head-on.
A Call From Larry Jeffers Changes Everything
The story begins with a phone call from chassis mastermind Larry Jeffers, offering Kye a nearly brand-new Camaro Pro Mod — only 25–30 test laps on it. The plan? Drop Kye’s proven running gear in, load up, and get ready to race in early November at a big IHRA event.
“He’ll build headers, he’ll wire it — and we’ll be ready to race.”
The car has already earned a nickname that fans will love:
“Uncle Larry.”
Gutting “Can’t Get Right” for Parts — and Bringing Jang-A-Lang DNA
To make the move, Kye and his crew didn’t waste any time. They came straight home, tore the motor apart, freshened everything, and prepared to load the new chassis with:
✅ Fresh bullet
✅ Screwblower setup
✅ New transmission & bellhousing
✅ Rear end from Jang-A-Lang
They even stripped down the iconic Can’t Get Right Camaro to donate proven components to the new beast.
Kye jokes that his old third-gen Camaro has been so strong that he hopes the Pro Mod can outrun it — but confidence is high.
Inside the Cockpit — Professional Grade Everything
Once they arrive at Jeffers’ shop, fans get a front-row look at just how advanced this Pro Mod really is:
-
Featherweight carbon body panels
-
Race-fit seating and interior
-
CO2 chute system
-
Custom dash with sensor interfaces
-
Race-designed cooling and airflow system
-
And yes — even an air-vent lever that “blows the window out”
Kye laughs like a kid unwrapping a Christmas gift as he tries on the cockpit components, joking about the comfy seat foam and comparing it to “feeling rich” with race-grade equipment he’s never owned before.
Dialing in the Driver Fit
Seat fitment becomes a major focus — the crew measures, cuts, and molds the seat to perfectly lock Kye into driving position. His visibility, helmet angle, and arm placement are dialed in with precision.
“I feel really comfortable in this car… that’s a huge plus.”
Unlike some cars where Kye felt “like he wasn’t even supposed to be strapped in,” this Pro Mod fits him like a glove — a critical factor at 200+ mph.
Testing — The Key to Success
Kye repeatedly emphasizes one thing: they need test passes before racing.
“If we can test before we go, I’ll feel good. If we can’t test, I won’t feel good.”
That’s the mindset of a seasoned racer who knows horsepower alone isn’t enough — confidence and data win races.
Fans Get a Chance to Win Big Too
In the middle of all the race excitement, Kye also reminds fans about his Toyota Tacoma ProCharged truck giveaway. Every $5 spent at KyeKelleyRacing.com earns an entry — a smart move blending racing content with fan engagement.
A New Era for Kye Kelley Racing
This video marks the beginning of a new journey. Kye Kelley is no stranger to fighting uphill battles, and stepping into a true Pro Mod is a massive leap. But with Jeffers’ expertise, proven power parts, and Kye’s relentless drive, this build could rewrite the story of his career.
As the No Prep Kings world evolves, Kye is making sure he stays on top — not just in performance, but in technology, chassis design, and commitment.
