Tonight is also the series premiere of Street Outlaws: Memphis on Discovery Channel at 10/9c. In Memphis, it’s all for one and one for all, and no one illustrates that sentiment better than JJ Da Boss and his “Team Memphis” crew. Along with his wife Tricia, who is known on the streets as “Midget,” and his cousin Precious, also known as the “Queen of the Streets,” fast-talking JJ welcomes viewers into his world where racing is all about pride and honor. Team Memphis has few rules, and its members often put their lives on the line for the hustle of the race. They are “trying to beat ya, not cheat ya,” and are available whenever a challenger emerges. JJ’s “arm drop” and “chase is the race” styles require knowledge and skill, and his family of racers rarely fails, as success hinges not just on speed, but on their ability to count on their teammates and get each other from “A to B.” It’s a crazy world full of big characters, who all have colorful histories both on and off the track. They’re also well-versed in the art of the hustle and bring that to each race.
