Crossville Dragway Hosting Street Outlaw Extravaganza May 12 Features "No Prep Kings"

The 2019 drag racing season is heating up with the announcement that Crossville Dragway will host the first ever Street Outlaw Extravaganza on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 12th. The Street Outlaw Extravaganza brings four of the nation’s most well-known drag racers to Crossville Dragway to battle. The staff at Crossville Dragway has a full day of drag racing planned, with other local racers taking to the track in side-by-side action.

The Street Outlaw Extravaganza will feature Ryan Martin in his 2010 Camaro named “Fireball”. With a twin-turbocharged Pro-Line Racing engine, this car produces 4,500 horsepower and is one of the top contenders on Street Outlaws, as well as the No Prep Kings series. Another household name from the Street Outlaws TV Show is Chuck Seitsinger’s “Death Trap” Ford Mustang. The twin-turbocharged “big tire” Mustang uses a much smaller engine than the Fireball Camaro, but applies the power aggressively with extremely hard launches off the starting line.

Along with the two Oklahoma City-based racers, a pair of Mississippi-based drag cars are scheduled to race in the Street Outlaw Extravaganza. The “Swamp Thing” Chevy II station wagon from the Taggart racing family is one of the wildest cars on the No Prep Kings series, and relies on a nitrous-assisted big block Chevy for power. Ken Clark’s nitrous-powered Chevy II named “White Zombie” rounds out the four-car Street Outlaw Extravaganza. The Street Outlaws stars will be on hand all day, signing autographs and selling merchandise. All four cars will make several all-out passes down the drag strip, and Ryan Martin’s goal with the Fireball Camaro is to break the track record.

In addition to the Street Outlaws cars making passes, there will be plenty of action on the track all day. Track owners, Michael Newcome and Rick Wetherbee will be making passes in their personal drag cars, totaling 5,000 horsepower between the two of them. Local racers, Mike Farley, Randy Petet, and Bradley Hamlet, among others, have committed to putting on a show for the fans as well. If that wasn’t enough, the track will be open to all participants who want to run down the same track as the superstars.

General admission for the Street Outlaw Extravaganza is $25 per adult. Children 12 and under get in free. For an additional $20, any participant can race their car all day during the event. Gates open at 12pm, and test passes will begin shortly after. Co-owner of Crossville Dragway, Michael Newcome said, “Street Outlaw Extravaganza is going to the biggest event Crossville Dragway has ever seen.” Whether spectators prefer Chevy or Ford, new or old, this collection of Street Outlaw stars and local legends is sure to bring thousands of spectators to Crossville Dragway for a Mother’s Day they’ll never forget.

Crossville Dragway is a family-oriented facility, and both Newcome and Wetherbee’s families work at the track to make the 2019 drag racing season fun for everyone.
