No prep Kings screws the pooch in Texas

Not to make any excuses for the XMP situation ( I've heard different versions from different sources) but NPK went through a transformation during this last weekend. The series is now No Prep Elites and they've added a four race championship series at the conclusion of the 'regular' season in which the top 16 in points will compete in the four race playoff for a winner take all $150K! The final race of the championship series is at Ennis. Being an original 405 boy myself I've always enjoyed the Street Outlaws/No Prep Kings series. I would caution not to hold the XMP situation against the NPE drivers as they didn't have anything to do with that, it's front office stuff and I hope they do right by XMP.

According to James Roach ( Reaper) the issue with XMP was not a matter of any money being paid or not paid, but rather race dates. NPE contacted XMP and told them the July 4th date didn't work for the series and XMP responded that was the only date they had available to host the event. Roach also said that he hopes the series can return to XMP at a later date.
