Street Outlaws No Prep Kings star Robin Roberts escaped serious injury on Saturday. He was involved in an accident while he was racing against Justin Swanstrom at Rockingham Dragway in Rockingham, North Carolina.
Following the accident, he was airlifted to a nearby hospital.
According to his wife, he has broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a concussion. The collapsed lung will need six to eight weeks to heal.
“Thank you all so much for your 🙏🏻 for Robin,” Melody Roberts, Robin Roberts wife said in a Facebook post. “He is going to be ok. We have some serious healing but his mind is good & the body will heal over time. We feel unbelievably blessed to come out of this situation as good as we did. He was passed out for a long time. He doesn’t remember any of it. He has 3 cracked ribs and a collapsed lung. He has a serious concussion but, all things considered, we are very lucky & blessed! The love and support has been amazing & God bless every one of you for being there for us.
I know he is going to be fine because he is hungry again and snapping out orders. 🍗🍔🥩🥓🥞. That’s my Southwest Kansas Man💙😍💪🏻”
The No Prep Kings tour has two stops left on their schedule. It is unlikely with his injuries that Roberts will be able to make a comeback to compete in these events.
Next weekend, the teams will be competing at Alabama International Dragway. This event was added following the non-filming at Tulsa Raceway Park in August due to the death of Street Outlaws producer Mike Helmann.
The teams will conclude their season at the Texas Motorplex in two weeks.
