An innovator and mechanic, Monza first drove the Chevy Monza.

Life on the street

It is unknown as to how and where Monza began his career as a street racer. But during the early 1980s, Monza’s name started appearing in street tracks around the states. A master behind the wheel, Monza makes up for his lack of words with his driving skills. He is one of the calmest street racers and is capable of making split-second decisions. His ability to judge any situation correctly allowed Monza to climb through the ranks. His reputation preceded him and when Monza first came to Oklahoma, quite a few racers were waiting for him. Over the years, Monza has beaten his competition again and again. Monza has been on the list since 2006 and has been racing for four decades.

However, Monza decided to not participate in the sixth season of NPK in 2023, reportedly due to contract disagreements. He stated that he wanted to make money from racing, as it was his job, and that he could not afford to spend his savings to chase NPK all year. He also expressed his desire to have more control over his racing career and his new car, a 1970 Chevelle SS that he revealed in late 2021. He said that he would test his new car and race it somewhere else, but he did not specify where or when.
