Alex Laughlin kicked off the seventh season of “Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings” with a thrilling victory in the 2nd Chance bracket at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, PA, setting a high bar for the competition this year. The win marked an impressive debut for Laughlin, who faced off against seasoned racer Scott Taylor in a nail-biting final that had fans on the edge of their seats.

Excitement filled the race weekend, yet Laughlin’s tenacity and skill outshone all. In a spectacular display of power and precision, his Hotwheels-wrapped, ProCharged C7 Corvette thundered down the track, proving that his recent shift to full-time racing in the No Prep Kings series is a force to be reckoned with. This victory is especially significant as it heralds a new chapter in Laughlin’s racing career, indicating his readiness to dominate the no-prep scene.

This season’s opener not only spotlighted Laughlin’s triumph but also featured a roster of heavy hitters.

Laughlin’s entry into the No Prep Kings isn’t just about winning races; it’s about embracing a significant transition in his career.

This move is a testament to his evolving career and his dedication to making a mark in different arenas of the racing world.

“There’s a lot of things changing and some giant transitions being made that make me extremely excited to get in and help grow it from the new ground floor,” said Laughlin, expressing his enthusiasm for the new challenges ahead. The show’s producers enthusiastically support his transition into full-time racing, extending a warm welcome. However, Laughlin acknowledges that winning over fellow racers might be an ongoing challenge.

The welcoming atmosphere and the competitive spirit of the No Prep Kings series are what drew Laughlin to this arena. His aim is not just to compete, but to elevate the series and contribute to its growth. His passion for racing is matched by his strategic approach to his career, choosing platforms where he can make the most significant impact.
