Why did Chief Leave Street Outlaws 2022?

When we Google “Street Outlaws: Fastest in America,” the description goes as follows: “Eight of the fastest teams in the U.S. descend on Memphis to compete for the biggest street race yet, for a prize of $100,000.”

However, lots of fans have noticed that the 405 hasn’t been present on the show. Oklahoma City is widely regarded as the street racing hub of the world. Everyone has their opinion and some might not agree that the 405 is the fastest area code. However, discluding them from the list of the most prominent areas for racing would be downright asinine.

Apparently, the powers behind the show decided that this would be the way that things would go, though. The 405 wasn’t to be invited to compete to be “The Fastest in America.”

Along the way, it turns out that a couple of guys from the 405 caught wind of the production. It surely was an odd set of circumstances. Apparently, leading up to the show, the 405 was given no direct communication that the show was even going to happen. It seems like they only found out about it because of a chance Facebook encounters.

This time, an interview from Sim ABCXYZ on YouTube dives into how it all went down. We could see something like this coming down to a situation where people didn’t see eye to eye on details. However, the fact that the 405 didn’t even know what was happening is pretty odd. It really stood to create a situation where the fans wanted answers.

In the interview, Big Chief reminds us that he can only speak for himself. What he does say, though, is that he was never really approached about the show at first. When he did catch wind of it through a post on the DNR Auto Facebook page looking for racers, he was ready to sign up. Little did he know that the race was a Discovery Channel production.

Eventually, an invite was extended but then things just seemed to get crazier. There are too many ins and outs here to explain them all. Therefore, we will leave it to Chief in the video below to lay out exactly what happened.

I have said 100% why i left television. Some folks just cant seem to accept the fact that there isnt one specific situation or scenario or person to blame it on...Lifechanging things like this dont happen because of one little thing that could be addressed or dealt with. The bottom line is that i wasnt happy with the end product and it was a culmination of things, over a few year span that ended with me being (once again) expected to defend bullshit competition rules and decisions that effectively changed the racing style and format of the entire franchise (decisions that i nor the other racers had any part in making and quite frankly decisions i and most others didnt agree with).

[...] There hasnt been any new Big Chief/Street Outlaws content in months...and there wont be any for the foreseeable future. I dont want to work in television anymore (doesnt matter what tv show/network etc) everyday less people watch tv and every day the networks make less money than they did the day before, so its all just a super quick moneygrab to get as much of it as they can before its inevitably over. That's not me. I just want to race and goof off with my hot rods making fun interesting content for anyone that will watch it lol, while building my own brand i can be proud of... No more, no less.......

A huge announcement will be coming shortly after about possibly the biggest craziest thing that's ever happened in Street Outlaws history!!!! And we will be ready!!!! Buckle up!

But, Several sources suggest that Justin, Jackie, and Precious Day fought before the first race night. After this argument, Big Chief decided to pack up and leave. The news was shocking, especially since Justin was one of the reasons America's list got green in the first place. But we don't know what happened actually and about Big chief's departure. 

Why Is Big Chief Not On Street Outlaws Anymore?

Big Chief's real name is Justin Shearer, and he has been absent from the latest season. He is a prominent member of the show Street Outlaws, and he has been absent from the latest season, confusing fans. Before the season started filming, he posted on Instagram showing his prep for the show. No official reason has been released as to why he is not on the show anymore. Neither he nor Discovery have made a statement of why he is not on the show. It does appear that he has remained a part of the franchise.

They compete, showing their racing skills for the sale of winning the title. If you are a car lover, especially very much into racing sport, you would love this show for sure. Right now, Season 14 is going on with Episode 17, getting released on 7 November 2022. Are you excited?

Reason Behind Justin Shearer, Aka Big Chief Leaving Street Outlaws Revealed

As mentioned above, during Season 4, Big Chief left Street Outlaws. What was the reason? He left it because he wanted to have some time with his family. That was very much understandable. 

Fans got highly surprised by Big Chief’s absence in the first episode of the new season. It was reported that Big Chief fought with another racer, Precious. So, what that the reason behind his leave? Well, it’s not yet confirmed if the feud was so strong and serious. Little did you know, Big Chief’s wife, Jackie, was also rumored to be involved in the fight. We wonder what that was. 

In addition to this, Precious was not satisfied but disappointed with the rules of the new season. It appeared that he got mad at Big Chief and his wife due to this, which ultimately led to quarrels among the trio. People started speculating about the real reason, and some even started spreading rumors on the internet. 

Big Chief

It was when the star took it to his Youtube channel and shared what was happening in the show. He cleared the air, leaving no doubts and suspicions regarding his departure from Street Outlaws. Big Chief mentioned the reason for being disappointed with the production company’s rules of the show. More precisely, he was not okay with the ‘race your way in’ policy. He felt like some of the competent racers were left aside, and many from Street Outlaws: Memphis took active participation. The number of the latter was not appropriate at all. 

Guess what? Precious was one of them from Street Outlaws: Memphis, who argued with him. But neither Big Chief nor Precious confirmed the alleged feud in public. They didn’t even comment anything on that. 

Any other reason? Well, it’s not known if Big Chief got into some work. We have not seen him getting busy with something outside the world of cars. So, we are not sure what Justin Shearer is up to now. Wishing Big Chief nothing but the best for the upcoming days! You may give the car and racing enthusiast Big Chief a following on his Instagram account.
