Big Chief, also known as Justin Shearer, left the show “Street Outlaws” to pursue his own interests and projects within the street racing community. He remains an active and influential figure in the racing scene.
Justin Shearer, better known as Big Chief, was one of the prominent figures on the Discovery Channel’s reality television series “Street Outlaws,” which focuses on street racing in the Oklahoma City area. Over time, Big Chief became a fan favorite due to his racing skills, knowledge, and charismatic personality.
In late 2020, rumors began circulating that Big Chief was no longer part of the “Street Outlaws” cast. This speculation was fueled by his absence in some episodes and the noticeable shift in the show’s focus to new racers and different locations. The exact reasons for his departure were not officially stated, but it is widely believed that he wanted to explore new opportunities and possibly felt that he had achieved what he set out to do on the show.
Despite leaving “Street Outlaws,” Big Chief continues to be deeply involved in the street racing community. He runs the Midwest Street Cars Automotive with fellow racer Shawn “Murder Nova” Ellington, and they both continue to participate in races and events. Big Chief also maintains a strong presence on social media, where he interacts with fans and shares updates about his racing endeavors.
His departure from the show did not mark the end of his career in street racing; rather, it opened a new chapter for him to grow his brand and continue his passion for racing outside the confines of reality TV. Big Chief’s legacy on “Street Outlaws” remains significant, and he is still respected and recognized for his contributions to the show and the street racing culture.
