Street Outlaws star Lizzy Musi dies with her family by her side after a year-long battle with stage 4 breast cancer
A street racer named Lizzy Musi has died after being told she had stage-four breast cancer, according to her father.
Mooresville, North Carolina’s Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings star told everyone about her diagnosis last year, which meant she had to leave the show.
In a Facebook post, Musi’s famous dad Pat said, “Surrounded by her family and in the comfort of her own home, Lizzy was called to heaven at 11:25 pm tonight.”
“Thank you for all your prayers and help during her illness.
At this point, the family would like to be left alone to deal with their grief and make plans.
“We will give an update as soon as we have information to share.”
Women and girls looked up to the racer after she won three straight episodes of Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings in 2019.
With a time of 3.802 seconds, she was also the first woman to go faster than 200 mph in eighth-mile doorslammer racing.
Back in July 2014, Lizzy Musi made more history when she won a Pro Nitrous national event at the Professional Drag Racers Association US Drags. She was the first woman to do so.
A 33-year-old racer who was honest about having stage 4 triple-negative breast cancer, which is one of the most aggressive types of breast cancer, has received a lot of praise.
Musi was still hopeful about her health, even though the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and liver.
She told everyone in Germany last month that she had “great news” while she was getting treatment for cancer.
Even though the driver didn’t say more, she had already said that she was going to the Medias Klinikum treatment center in Burghausen, Germany.
Last month, Lizzy told Drag Illustrated, “I’ve pretty much tried everything here in the US, and I’ve looked into the doctor and treatment in Germany that can separate my liver and treat it.”
One fan wrote under Pat’s post, which was shared on Musi’s Facebook page, “This just hurts my heart.”
“She gave young girls a lot to think about. It was fun to watch her race.”
“One of the best female racers,” said someone else.
“Younger people were so inspired by how positive and happy she was.” This is so unbelievable.
We’re sorry for her family’s loss. Run fast, Lizzy, up in heaven.”
LOVER OF MY LIFE
This year, Musi publicly thanked her boyfriend Jeffrey Earnhardt, who is the grandson of famous Nascar driver Dale Earnhardt, for always being there for her.
“This guy right here has supported me like no other from sleepless ER nights and dealing with my health to cheering me on at my races,” Musi wrote on the app.
“He did insanely well when I got to see him play this past weekend after a long off-season. @jearnhardt1 #thankful #unique #howloveshouldfeel”
They started going out together after she broke up with racecar driver Kyle Kelley in late 2023.
A touching Facebook post from January by Musi revealed some details about her relationship with Earnhardt.
“I found a man when I least expected it, on top of going through the worst time in my life… it didn’t phase him and he has loved me unconditionally since,” said she.
