Logan Paul’s journey into the world of outlaw eighth-mile drag racing began in the late 2000s when an impromptu visit to an ADRL event sparked a passion that has grown over more than a decade. His entry into the sport came in 2009 when he started as a crew member with driver Ronnie Gardner and car owner JD Goad, assisting with a nitrous-fed Camaro in various series across the Carolinas. This experience solidified his commitment to the sport as a lifestyle.

By 2010, Paul assumed responsibility for social media at the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod (EOPM) organization, where he engaged with racers and built a fan presence. Despite the organization’s dissolution following the death of mentor Stuart Williams in 2014, Paul continued to expand his connections in racing, joining various Pro Mod teams over the years.

Now 27, Paul is constructing a street-strip 2002 F-body Camaro and has made significant contributions to the Nasty Racing team, helping achieve record performances and event victories. Alongside racing, Paul co-owns a two-truck distributor for SP Tools and works during emergencies to restore power communications.

Grateful for the mentorship he received, Paul emphasizes the importance of involving the next generation in drag racing, recalling how a simple gesture—a handed wrench—changed his life. He remains eager to learn and advance in the sport, dedicating himself to its growth and the encouragement of young enthusiasts.
