Well folks, it’s been a wild weekend in the world of Street Outlaws racing. As many of you already know, Kayla Morton was involved in a scary crash at Famoso Raceway during the opening round of the Speed Promotions All 32 season. She was racing Kai Kelley in the “Beat the Champ” class when things went south in a hurry.

The crash happened on Friday, and from the looks of it, the hit was hard. The car veered left, slammed into the wall, and caught fire. It was one of those moments that makes your heart sink — but the most important news? Kayla walked away from the crash. That’s all that really matters at the end of the day.


The Aftermath: What’s Next for Kayla’s Car?

The car took a big hit and has already been shipped off to Wizard Race Cars to get repaired. As many of you know, fixing a car at this level is no small task. These aren’t your typical hot rods — we’re talking serious money to rebuild or repair a ride like Kayla’s. Depending on the extent of the damage, she might even need to front half the car. No official photos of the damage have been released yet, but anyone in this game knows that even a moderate crash can be a six-figure fix.


We’re hearing estimates of $200,000+ to build a brand new chassis, and who knows how much the repairs will end up costing. What we do know is that Kayla’s car was one of the fastest and most consistent on the property, and it deserves to get back on the road.

A Proven Winner

Let’s not forget — Kayla beat Murder Nova in this car, and that’s no easy feat. He’s last season’s champ and has one of the fastest cars in the field. When you beat a guy like that, you’re doing something right. Kayla’s car was dialed in and ready to make noise this season. With the new Speed Promotions rules, the setup was working perfectly, and it was showing out on the track.


This isn’t just another build — this car has race-winning potential every single time it lines up. And Kayla? She’s proven over and over again that she’s one of the top drivers in the No Prep scene. She’s taken home multiple NPK event wins over the past few seasons, and she’s not done yet.


Support from the Racing Community

Let’s be real — racing at this level takes a village. Fixing a car like this is expensive, and it’s not just about getting it back together. It’s about getting it back to race-winning form. If any sponsors out there are looking to back a car with serious potential and a driver who knows how to get it done, Kayla Morton is the one to watch. She’s open to support, and every bit helps when it comes to getting back on track.

The good news is, the car is repairable. The better news? Kayla’s already planning the comeback. Once this car is back under her, there’s no doubt she’ll be right back in the fight. She may not dominate every race — let’s face it, competition is tight — but she’s always a threat to win on any given weekend.


Light, Fast, and Dangerous

Let’s not overlook the technical side either — Kayla’s setup is one of the lightest combinations on the Speed Promotions circuit. Between her own weight and the car’s setup, she’s running one of the most efficient packages out there. That makes a big difference in these races, where every fraction of a second counts.


So keep your eyes open, folks. Kayla’s story this season isn’t over — in fact, it’s just getting started. When that car rolls back out of Wizard Race Cars, you can bet it’ll be faster, smarter, and stronger than ever.
