Lizzy Musi Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jul. 1 to Jul. 2, 2024.

Lizzy Musi, a professional race car driver and star of the reality series "Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings," died June 27, 2024, of breast cancer at the age of 33.

Lizzy Musi was surrounded by motors and racing growing up. Her father, Pat Musi, was a racer and the founder of Pat Musi Racing Engines, and she followed in his footsteps. Musi was a junior dragster racer and made her Pro Nitrous debut in 2014. That July, she became the first woman to break 200mph in eighth-mile doorslammer racing, and her win at the US Drags at Virginia Motorsports Park made her the first woman to win the Professional Drag Racers Association event. Overall, she won third place that year and earned PDRA’s “Rookie of the Year” prize.

Musi began to make a wider name for herself on the Discovery Channel show, “Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings,” where she raced her beloved car, Bonnie, as well as Bonnie 2.0, a Robert Hayes Race Cars-built 1969 Chevy Camaro. She was the first female driver to win a No Prep Kings event, and the first driver overall to win three in a row.

In addition to her time on the show and on the track, Musi was director of Musi Racing in Mooresville, North Carolina.

She was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in April 2023 and chronicled her fight on social media. By the time the disease was detected, it had already moved to her lymph nodes and liver.

Every time I watch No Prep Kings, I see Lizzy getting weaker and weaker. Poor girl. I know she is gone. But, she really kept her chin up when things were bleak. She is a real role model for young women. God Bless you, Lizzy

It still heartbreaking knowing that such a young beautiful talented young woman left this world way too early. Watching her now on No Prep Kings. It still saddens me knowing she is no longer with us. Prayers still for her family.

My heart goes out to the Musi family, her fiance´, and close friends. Watched Lizzy on Outlaws and she was easily the fav to root for. After her illness and the passing I told my daughters in laws and other ladies in my life to check and see a Dr to be checked. I´ll pay. You ladies are much too important to lose. RIP Miss Lizzy, may God Bless you in his kingdom.

We watched Lizzy all the time on Street Outlaws, we are in Australia, I cried so much when I saw that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, what an amazing young woman, so gentle and so lovely to everybody, her mum and dad must be so proud of the young lady she had become. We were heartbroken when she passed away. The world was a far better place with her in it, we send our deepest condolences to Pat & Liz and family.

Lizzy was a national heroine to many race car enthusiasts. She was willing to give whatever it took to win the race. I am so sad that her most important race was a loss. A loss first to her family and secondly to Kye Kelly and the millions of of her fans in the racing world. I for one will sorely miss her bright smiling face. She brought class to everything she pursued. God Bless Her Family.

The first time i saw Lizzy was when Oklahoma Outlaws raced her and her crew. I always rooted for her, because as a woman racer in a male dominating sport the women are always the underdog. I loved it when she would win her rounds and beat the "guys". She is resting now, no more pain, and we will all see her again some day.
