Early Life

Chris has revealed very little information about his early life. Born and raised in a blue-collar household in Oklahoma City, Chris didn’t have the best of beginnings. His family was broke and Chris often had to make do with worn and stained clothes from use last year, and the year before. 

Getting into racing

Due to his family circumstances, Chris had to think for himself if he wanted to have some fun. For Chris, this meant racing. In between mowing lawns, chopping trees, pumping gas and providing weekend help with his father’s heating and air business, Chris found a way to pay for his first dirt bike. When asked about it Chris says,

I’ve always been an extremely competitive person. Being frankly honest, I wouldn’t even say I’m necessarily a car guy. I’m just a racing guy. I’ll race a damn shopping cart! I don’t care what it is.

Life on the Streets

Growing up Chris attended a local high school and most of his friends had cars. He struck a friendship with Big Chief and the pair were together most of the time. The pair bonded while working on Justin’s now-infamous, Pontiac LeMans. When asked about his friendship with the chief, Chris recalls,

Me and Chief — we went to school, we went to work, and we’d be in the driveway until three or four in the morning, every single day, every single weekend, working on [the Crow]. That was the car me and him grew up working together on.

On the wheel

Chris’s first car was a ’71 Chevy LUV. Over the years, Chris has sat behind the wheel of many cars and is now on the wheel of a black C5 Corvette. 

A part of the OKC racers, Chris took racing seriously which also matched with the groups’ motto. It was during this time that he met Daddy Dave and formed a trio alongside Big Chief. Recalling their early days, Chris mentions,

Most people go out there, and they hang out and drive around in their cars, and it’s just something to do. And with me and Chief, and Dave [Comstock] and the other guys, for some reason this stuff was serious.

This was especially true for Chris who was aggressive down the lane. His aggression behind the wheel and skills to back up his aggression, there is no one more worthy of the name, Kamikaze. 

Street Outlaws

Kamikaze Chris Day is one of the original cast members of Street Outlaws, a reality TV show that follows the lives and challenges of illegal street racers in Oklahoma City. He made his first appearance on the show in 2014, when he inherited a 1981 Chevrolet El Camino from his late friend Tyler “Flip” Priddy.

I’m an all-or-nothing guy. I’m either gonna’ really make it in my life, or I’m gonna’ be nothing. There’s no ‘middle’ for me. It’s something I tried to fight for a long time, but I’ve accepted that’s how I am. And I can’t fake that.
