Howe, the newly appointed National Outlaw Director, shared his enthusiasm for the series in a recent announcement:.
“I have had a great run with the Street Outlaws brand and with No Prep Kings and with all the production,” said Howe. “The thing is that doors open and things come about that this allows me a chance to give a greater input on the way that I want to see things done, and it allows me to be home to run my businesses and spend time with my family more.”
He also emphasized the series’ commitment to real racers and competition:.
“These are real racers who are going to battle it out to win the money. There’ll be a lot of hate, I’m sure, that comes about from this, but that’s okay. I hope that everybody sees the big picture that I see, and that is competition is good for business,” Howe added.
