How Did Justin Shearer make their money & wealth?

Justin came into the world on December 9th, 1980 in Louisville, Kentucky. He lost his father at an early age. His mother did her best to raise him, as well as his brother, on her own. Justin discovered street racing when he was just 9 years old. He came upon a race while he was riding his bike, and was instantly drawn to it. He also learned how to ride horses around this time.

About twelve years after Justin was born, his mother relocated the family to Oklahoma City. She continued to support her children and improve on herself by attending nursing school while working two jobs. Meanwhile, Justin attended high school and graduated in 1998. He found the street racing scene in his new location and worked multiple jobs himself to get to the point where he could purchase his first racing car. He was employed as a gas station attendant. That was how he met his ex-wife, Alicia.

Eventually, he scored his current job working for Midwest Street Cars. He purchased a Pontiac LeMans from 1972. Justin called it The Crow. He gets most of his cash working there, as well as putting on racing events and selling merchandise. The Street Outlaws show on the Discovery Channel also adds to the racer’s net worth.

Justin’s first street racing car was a Pontiac LeMans from 1972 that he purchased with the proceeds from his job at the gas station. He modified it to his liking, but after many years of work and money, it got totaled. On November 14th, 2015, Justin ended up in the hospital and the car ended up in a junkyard after a high-speed accident on the Street Outlaws set.  The other car he hit, which belonged to his co-star Brian Davis, was also totaled out.
