Last night’s season premier of Street Outlaws was filled with exciting announcements and a huge List shake-up! For those of you who missed it, Tina Pierce is with child and no longer can compete on The List. We all wish her the best! With Tina being gone, the 10 spot opened up and Big Chief decided to host another Round Robin. New driver, Dustin Bowen pulled in the win in his ’99 Camaro big block Chevy engine. After an intense fight between Varley and his son Tony (driver of the Gold Car) Varley was forced to switch drivers and get his son Shelby behind the wheel. The List rules state that if a team changes drivers or cars they must drop off the list and start back from the bottom. With no viable options left, Varley decided to abstain from racing that night and use the upcoming week for testing. Dustin was happy to automatically take the 9-spot but sure wasn’t ready for who he had to race next.

Last season we were introduced to Big Chief’s newly built Pontiac Lemans better known as The Crow, but had yet to see it make a pass at The List. Big Chief brought The Crow to last night’s race ready to haul ass, but had to make a big change first. In order to eliminate any drama that might have occurred between him and his new opponents, he stepped down as Race master. To fill his shoes, Big Chief volunteered the most trustworthy person he could think of that was currently off the list, Farmtruck. With the OKC politics out of the way Big Chief was ready to make his run towards the top and quickly blew up The List from spot 10 to 5. In the process he knocked Derek, Chuck, Andrade Jr, and Dustin all down one notch. Will he make it to #1? Is Big Chief willing to race his best friend and partner, Murder Nova to get there? We’ll see…
