The popular rivalry between Oklahoma City’s ‘Daddy Dave’ Comstock and Mississippi native Kye Kelley was forever cemented in season three of Street Outlaws in the summer of 2014, when Kelley, a virtual unknown at the time with an unsuspecting flat black Camaro, denied Comstock, the shows’ perennial number one man in its early seasons, and the rest of the 405 of the Dallas Cash Days crown in front of millions of cable television viewers.

Since that episode aired, the two stars have faced off on subsequent occasions, both on the show and off, and despite trading victories in said matchups, they still take the opportunity to settle the score for some cash and reignite their rivalry when it presents itself. With Kelley in Oklahoma for the Redemption 6.0 no prep race over the weekend fresh off a two-week thrash to rebuild the front half of ‘The Shocker’ after a crash in Mississippi, that opportunity presented itself, and with both drivers being eliminated early in the night, the chatter began for a friendly grudge match for $5,000 between Comstock and his ProCharger-fed Goliath 2.0 Nova and Kelley’s freshly-rebuilt nitrous Camaro.

With the lengthy negotiations and the smack talk behind them, the two took the tree, and while Kelley looked to have the quicker car — on this night, anyway — it was the clean, steady effort by Comstock that took the cash, as Kelley, well out in front, got loose and had to shut his machine down near half track, allowing Comstock to sneak by for a very popular victory right in the heart of Street Outlaws country. And something tells us that with the tun of events in the match, it won’t be the last time these two line up, either.
