This wasn’t a test hit.
Wasn’t an exhibition.
Wasn’t for hype.

This was Kye Kelley vs the best Pro Mod and outlaw nitro competition IHRA has to offer — and he went ROUNDS.

IHRA Meets The Outlaw World — And It Gets REAL FAST

The IHRA Finals already had:

• blown Hemi monsters

• methanol Pro Mods

• nitro freaks

• 200+ mph door cars

• top-tier professional teams

But the moment Kye Kelley unloaded his car, the pits lit up.
Fans rushed in.
Drivers paid attention.
Officials smiled — because the crossover was bringing massive hype.

The Street Outlaws street legend was about to invade sanctioned racing… again.

And this time?

He meant business.

The Car: JangALang Built for a New Battlefield

Kye didn’t bring some watered-down version of his setup.

Nope.

He brought JangALang, optimized for:

🔥 IHRA track prep
🔥 Pro Mod-level competition
🔥 Tight reaction-time battles
🔥 Big mph finishes
🔥 Consistent A-to-B passes under pressure

Nitrous or not, everyone knew:

Kye’s car hits like a sledgehammer on the tree and pulls like a freight train after half-track.

That combo scares EVERYBODY.

Qualifying: Kye Kelley Makes His Presence Known

Qualifying wasn’t just strong — it was a statement.

His passes looked cleaner, straighter, and meaner than many of the full-time IHRA teams.

Crowd reaction?

🔥 “Kye lookin’ GOOD out here!”
🔥 “He ain’t scared of nobody!”
🔥 “Street racers ain’t supposed to run THIS good!”

Every pass bought him more respect.

First elimination round — nerves high, stakes higher.

But Kye Kelley did what Kye Kelley always does:

✔ Murdered the tree

IHRA fans were instantly sold.

Round Two: Power vs Precision

The second round brought a tougher opponent — a dialed-in, well-funded Pro Mod team.

How did Kye respond?

With pure outlaw grit.

• Near-perfect reaction

• Crisp nitrous tune

• Rock-solid 60-foot

• Pulled ahead by half-track

• Never lifted

Another round win.
Another eruption from the crowd.

Round Three: A Battle for the Ages

By the third round, EVERYONE was watching Kye Kelley.

This wasn’t just a Street Outlaws guy “trying sanctioned racing.”

This was a real contender.

But this opponent had one of the strongest cars of the weekend.

The run was side-by-side from hit to stripe —
one of the closest races of the event.

And although Kye fell just short…

He proved something TRIPLE LOUD:

🔥 He belongs in the IHRA world
🔥 Nitrous can run with ANY power adder
