Chevy Reeves, a rising star in the drag racing world, is set to take the Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings series by storm in 2025 with his new ride, aptly named “THE YETI.”
This beastly 1970 Chevelle, inspired by the mythological winter creature of the North, was crafted by Cameron Johnson Race Cars in Lakeland, Florida, specifically for the No Prep Kings series.
“THE YETI” is a powerhouse on wheels, featuring a Pro Line Racing MH7 billet Hemi engine that churns out 3,400-3,500 horsepower. Equipped with a ProCharger F4-140-1 supercharger and an M&M Transmission’s Turbo 400 transmission, this car is built for speed and performance. The Chevelle is complete with carbon-fiber doors and a front clip from Glasstek, along with top-of-the-line safety equipment from White Safety Equipment.
Reeves Performance Racing has been a cornerstone in the motorsports community since its inception in 1996. This family-owned and operated team, led by owner Rob Reeves and his wife Kimberly, has built a legacy of passion and excellence in racing as long-time track owners and race enthusiasts.
