Cars have been a very important part of Jeff Lutz’ life for many years, but unlike lots of other people in the car industry, he didn’t grow up around cars. Instead, Jeff was a teenager when he first developed an interest in cars, and little did he know, that interest would eventually lead to him becoming a street racer and a reality TV star. Although Jeff is thankful to be doing something he loves for a living, the success he’s had has also come with a certain amount of risk. Recently, news broke that he was involved in an accident while filming for the latest season of Street Outlawz. While the accident appears to have been very serious, Jeff is expected to make a full recovery and he’ll be back on the road in no time. Here are 10 things you didn’t know About Jeff Lutz.
