Industry Mourns Passing of Lizzy Musi, 33


Lizzy Musi, the renowned drag racer and daughter of drag racer and engine builder Pat Musi, has passed away from breast cancer. She was 33.

Musi's 3.802-second run at 200.02 mph made her the first woman to break the 200-mph barrier in eighth-mile door slammer racing. That same year in 2014, Musi became the first woman to win a Pro Nitrous national event at the Professional Drag Racers Association (PDRA) US Drags at Virginia Motorsports Park, a racing season where Musi took a third-place finish in the championship points standings and PDRA Rookie of the Year honors.

In 2019, Musi joined the "Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings" TV program and scored three consecutive victories in her "Aftershock" Camaro powered by a Musi 959. She became not only the first female driver to win a No Prep Kings event, but also the first driver to achieve three consecutive wins.

A memorial page has been set up by the Musi family here. Read more about Musi's career at lizzymusi.com/about-lizzy.
