When an actor or actress dies, they are usually replaced by other stars since film and TV shows portray characters, not actual persons. However, reality TV shows like Street Outlaws are different because they revolve around the real lives of these individuals. When one dies, a void that can't be replaced is left. But who died on Street Outlaws?
Street Outlaws is one of the most popular reality TV shows. Over the years, it has shed light on the ever-changing street racing culture in different cities in the United States. In addition to gaining street fame, racers also bag huge cash prizes.
It is an American reality television series that premiered on 10th June 2013 on Discovery Channel. The show looks into:
Racers compete against other drivers to make the top ten list and against other states to see whose cars are the fastest.
According to The Sun, Nathan Schaldach, commonly known as Cali Nate, is one of the recent racers to die on the Street Outlaws. He is an acclaimed professional racecar driver and reality TV personality from Helena, Montana, USA.
Unfortunately, there are no details about his early life, including his parents' and siblings' names or educational background. However, he was in a relationship with his longtime partner, Courtney Paulshock. She is the owner and founder of CPaulshock Photography and a motorsports marketer.
Cali's father and sister are racers, so he comes from a family of racers. He decided to pursue a full-time racing career when he turned 15.
In March 2023, he appeared in an episode of Street Outlaws: No Prep King on the Discovery reality show and episode three of Cali Nate’s Secret Weapon season 4.
He succumbed to injuries suffered in a car accident that took place on the Saturday night of 6th April 2024. The car crash occurred during a racing event in Eagles Pass, Texas. Cali's girlfriend shared the devastating news in a Facebook post, stating:
On the one hand, I am shattered, I'm in shock, I can feel my heart breaking. We had plans, and we had a full race schedule. Nate was my person, my soul mate, my world. I was truly BLESSED to know the kind of love that Nathan gave me and showed me on a daily basis.
She also shared further details of the accident, revealing that Waylon and Garrett, two of Cali's friends, stayed with him every moment after the accident. Cali was rushed into the Fort Duncan Regional Medical Center for treatment and evaluation but was pronounced deceased the same night.
Even though Courtney was sad because of losing her partner, she was content that Cali would meet his mother and sister in heaven. Also, she was happy that he died racing, one of the things he loved most.
Over the years, several other people have passed away on the Street Outlaws. Some died while racing, while others passed away in other places. Here is everything you need to know about them:
