Lizzy Musi and Musi Racing Carry Momentum into Valdosta for Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings

CECIL, GA — Following a strong performance at the most recent Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings event, the Musi Racing team is thinking big heading to this weekend’s race at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Valdosta, Georgia.

Lizzy Musi drove the Edelbrock-equipped Lucas Oil “Aftershock” Camaro to the semifinals last weekend at Palm Beach International Raceway in Jupiter, Florida, putting the team in a strong position heading to the third race of the 2021 Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings season. After some struggles at the opening race earlier this month in Columbus, Ohio, the Musi Racing team made significant strides a week ago and that has them confident for Valdosta.

“We think we’ve got a car that can win,” Pat Musi said. “This car is coming around. We were struggling down low and we’ve got that fixed. I thought we could have won that deal last week, but we think we’ve got things figured out. We’ve always had power and Lizzy will be pretty tough to beat this weekend if we get everything figured out.”

Lizzy Musi and Musi Racing Set to Open 2021 Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings Season at National Trail Raceway

HEBRON, OH — The highly-anticipated 2021 Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings season begins this weekend and Lizzy Musi, the first female driver to ever win in the popular series that is broadcast on Discovery, is ready.

The Musi Racing team heads to National Trail Raceway, just outside of Columbus, Ohio, to kick off the year, with Lizzy Musi behind the wheel of the Edelbrock-equipped “Aftershock” Camaro, with additional backing from Lucas Oil, Newell INX, ACL RACE Series Bearings, and many more. After the 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team is eager to build on the success they enjoyed during Lizzy’s debut season in 2019.

Lizzy Musi not only became the first female to win, but she also became the first driver on the circuit to win three straight races.

“We’ve got a great combination on that car and Lizzy is going to be fast,” team owner and crew chief Pat Musi said. “We’ve really had only one year in the No Prep Kings deal, and Lizzy was the first woman to win one and the first person to win three in a row, and now that car is 10 times the car it was. Jerry Bickel made it safe for her and the car is just bad ass.”
