Take a look at this news, Street Outlaws Star Cole Pesz Survives Major IHRA Crash!
Fans of Street Outlaws and competitive drag racing were left shocked after Cole Pesz suffered a serious incident during the IHRA Pro Mod race this past weekend. The accident occurred in Round One, leaving his beloved screw-blown Mustang heavily damaged but—thankfully—Cole walked away with only minor injuries.
The Incident at the IHRA Pro Mod Race
During the opening round, Cole Pesz’s Mustang veered toward the center of the track. After attempting to pedal it back under control, the car darted toward the opposite wall, resulting in a heavy side impact. Witnesses described the hit as “significant,” and Cole was quickly taken to the hospital for evaluation. Doctors confirmed he sustained only minor injuries—a huge relief for fans and fellow racers.
A Fan-Favorite Mustang Takes a Hit
Cole’s Mustang is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars in the Speed Promotions series. The combination of its Eleanor-style body and screw-blown setup has made it a crowd favorite. Unfortunately, the crash caused extensive damage:
-
Destroyed sumis (slicks)
-
Crumpled driver’s side door
-
Damaged rear quarter panel
-
Likely chassis alignment issues
Despite the severity of the damage, the car is fully repairable. Cole’s team has already confirmed plans to rebuild and get the Mustang back on track as soon as possible.
Performance Struggles Before the Crash
Even before the accident, Cole Pesz’s Mustang had been facing performance challenges. In recent Pro Mod races, the car struggled to make consistent passes on prep tracks, failing to go down under full power. This was surprising given its proven speed—last year, the car ran in the 3.70s just on its second-ever pass and even competed in No Prep Kings.
Looking Ahead – A Strong Comeback Expected
While the crash was a setback, there’s no doubt in the racing community that Cole Pesz and his Mustang will return stronger than ever. Fans are eager to see the iconic screw-blown Mustang back in action—faster, more consistent, and ready to compete at the highest level once again.
Cole’s resilience, paired with his team’s expertise, means it’s only a matter of time before this crowd-pleasing Pro Mod is tearing down the strip again, delivering the kind of jaw-dropping runs that made it a fan favorite in the first place.
