May 2024 · 3 minute read

STREET Outlaws has featured the racer car driver known as Big Chief since it premiered in 2013.

Season 13 of the show aired on Discovery Channel on January 10, 2022.

Who is Big Chief?

Street race car driver, Big Chief, whose real name is Justin Shearer, moved to Oklahoma from Louisville, Kentucky in 1992 when he was 12 years old.

As a kid, he rode his bike to Old Route 66 to watch the street racers and when he became old enough to participate, he acquired a 1972 Pontiac LeMans - his first racing car.

Shearer was brought on to the reality TV show, Street Outlaws, in its first season in 2013.

Making money from street racing is not something Shearer said he ever prepared for and he never intended to make a profession out of it.

In an interview with DragZine, Shearer said his family didn't have enough money to go to race at two or three tracks each month, but going to Route 66 allowed them to do what they loved.

"To us, the winning or the losing was the same," Shearer said. "You’d go out there, and you race the biggest dudes that you know on that street, and somebody was coming home a winner and somebody was coming home a loser.

"So it was still drag racing, it just wasn’t in the same place. But to us, it was the same thing.

"We never wanted to be illegal street racers. That was just how it turned out."

Is Big Chief married?

Justin Shearer met his ex-wife Allicia while he was working as a gas station attendant in 1998 when he was only 18 years old.

After dating for several years, Shearer and Allicia got married in 2006 and had their two sons, Covil and Corbin.

However, the couple separated in 2017 and Shearer said on The Chief and Shawn Show podcast that they were not able to move past their differences.

"It’s no secret obviously that me and Allicia, my wife of 10 years, have been having trouble or whatever you want to call it," Shearer said, adding, "Well, it is further than just having trouble, we are actually getting a divorce, and that is happening."

Since his announcement, Shearer has a new girlfriend, Jackie Brasch, but has said he waited until his divorce was finalized to begin dating again.

According to Distractify, Shearer confirmed their new relationship on the podcast and said, “Well, now what happened at past is something I don’t have control over.

"But now I’m looking at my future, I have plans and Jackie is my future."
