Street Outlaws No Prep Kings star Kayla Morton has won the 2nd Chance Bracket on Sunday. She defeated Jerry Bird in the final round at Cordova Dragway in Cordova, Illinois.

This was her first final round of the season. It’s also her first win, too. She received $5,000 for the win.

Bird appeared in his second 2nd Chance Bracket final round.

“We got us one today ya’ll!! 🏁🤍,” Morton said in a Facebook post. “It may not have been the one we wanted but lemme tell ya, I had so much fun racing today! We made some progress, raced without stress, earned us 12 points, and gained some momentum for the next one. I appreciated the time I got to spend with my people just a little more than normal this weekend too. 🤍

“I don’t think there will ever be another round I race without talking to my girl a little while suiting up. It’s just part of the routine now. #lizzystrong.”

This is the final race in the No Prep Kings first half of the season. The teams will return in August to complete the rest of the season.

Scott Taylor leads the 2nd Chance Bracket with three wins. He won the last race at Brainerd International Raceway over Robin Roberts in Minnesota.

He also won over his close friend Bobby Ducote at Empire Dragway in New York. Taylor also defeated Paige Coughlin at Virginia Motorsports Park in Virginia.
