Why did Big Chief leave Street Outlaws?
Big Chief first surprised fans by not participating in the last two seasons of Street Outlaws, and neither the racer nor the show’s team put out a statement about his sudden absence. Fans chalked up his lack of screen time to personal reasons, but many expected him to appear in the fourth season of No Prep Kings when it returned in the fall of 2021.

However, in March 2022, Big Chief shared a video on his YouTube channel talking about his reasons for leaving the show. He addressed the rumors circulating but said he ultimately decided to leave Street Outlaws because he disagreed with production.
In his video, Big Chief shared he preferred the show to stay as “street as possible” while focusing on racing, and he didn’t feel comfortable as a racemaster if he had to uphold rules he didn’t think were best for the community. The former reality star also implied he felt uncomfortable with production dramatizing arguments between him and other cast members.
“The direction that things are going in, the changes that are being made, and the way things are being done don’t even resemble something that I helped build… I have to make the decision that I can’t stand up there and defend rules and decisions that I didn’t make and don’t agree with.”

Street Outlaws‘ cast member James Goad (also known as “Reaper,” after his racing car) uploaded a video in response to Big Chief’s clarification where he questioned Big Chief’s claims as well as the racemaster’s character. In the 40-minute video, Goad accuses Big Chief of being manipulative and making the show uncomfortable for him and the other racers.
Where is Big Chief now?
We can’t confirm why Big Chief left the show, but you can keep up with him on his Instagram and YouTube channel, where he regularly uploads. He remains private about his personal life, giving little detail about what he is up to.
He does, however, post a lot of videos about his continued involvement with street cars. And, with over 300,000 followers on YouTube, it is possible that he is minting some nice money from this content.
