Chevy Reeves
Chevy Reeves
Chevy has been neck-deep in the motorsport world since birth. Literally. Born in 2000 during Canada’s biggest one-day drag racing event, Hot August Night, Chevy entered the world with engines roaring as his lullaby. As the offspring of RAD Torque Raceway’s former Track Owner/Operators, Rob and Kimberly Reeves, Chevy was back at the track within 72 hours of his grand entrance, living life loud and in the driver’s seat from day one.
Every summer was spent at the track, and by age 10, Chevy was already tearing it up in his first Junior Dragster. He quickly got hooked on the camaraderie and competition of drag racing within the Nitro Ratz Junior Dragster program, snagging his first championship at age 12. Chevy’s life has been one high-speed adventure after another. Really, who needs a normal childhood when you can have one filled with the smell of burning rubber and the roar of engines?
Over the years, Chevy’s need for speed only grew, fueled by sheer determination, a steep learning curve, hands-on commitment, and a lot of ‘flipping the bird’. Since 2017, he’s been running a Top Dragster, regularly competing in the regional bracket programs and making appearances at various big dollar bracket national events. In 2017, Chevy was crowned Top Eliminator Rookie of the Year, fully embracing life at full throttle. Because, why take it slow when you can live life in the fast lane?
Next up in his motorsport saga, Chevy plans to up the ante by jumping into a full-body 200MPH beast, gearing up to dominate the Street Outlaws No Prep Kings competition. These premier events, hosted across North America, feature unprepared track conditions that mimic real-world street racing scenarios. Because, why not make things even more intense? After all, who needs a smooth ride when you can have the thrill of dodging potholes at breakneck speeds? Chevy’s ready to take on the chaos, because anything less would just be too easy.

Dean Bettenson is a devoted family man and a racing legend, blessed with a wife who must have the patience of a saint. Since kicking off his racing career in 2007 as a bracket racer, he’s racked up four WCPM Championships, because apparently, winning just once wasn’t enough.
