The racing community is mourning a beloved member.
Lizzy Musi — who rose to national fame on "Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings" — has died following a battle with breast cancer, her father Pat Musi confirmed. She was 33.
“Surrounded by her family, in the comfort of her own home, Lizzy was called to heaven at 11:25pm tonight,” he captioned his June 27 Facebook update. “Thank you for all the prayers and support throughout her battle. At this time, the family would like to have time to process, grief and make arrangements in peace. We will give an update as soon as we have information to share.”
Musi, who was originally from North Carolina, rose to national drag racing prominence when she was cast on Discovery Channel’s "Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings," a spinoff of the original 2018 series. She starred on the show alongside her father.
In April 2023, Musi shared she’d been diagnosed with triple negative stage four breast cancer after the disease had been found in her liver and lymph nodes, and in the time since, the reality star was candid with fans about her health journey.
