For a long time, streetcar racing was a sport reserved for fancy fast cars. If you couldn’t afford to throw a boatload of cash in exchange for a high-end fast toy, you didn’t stand a chance at the sport.

Well, that was the case until the Oklahoma-based racer Sean Whitley aka Farmtruck proved otherwise. With a knack for transforming ordinary vehicles into racecars, he has managed to carve out a world for himself.

Sean first got the attention of many when he was cast into Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws. His ardent passion to play by his own rules and still put up a tough game won the hearts of many.

Rather than going for Lamborghini, Chevrolet Camaro, or Ford Mustang, the down-to-earth and passionate racer has chosen over and over again to customize his old trucks for racing.

First, it was his 1970’s Chevy Long Bed Truck from which he got his Farmtruck nickname. He has since upgraded to the 632 big block Chevy Motor, another transformed vehicle.

At first, his choice seemed dumb but it is the very thing that has made him famous – and rich.

Who is Sean Whitley?

If you enjoy watching street car racing, the name Sean Whitley is no stranger to you. He’s one of the prominent car racers on Discovery’s Street Outlaws alongside his buddy and driver Jeff Bonnet, also known as AZN. To say that Sean is a car enthusiast would be a terrible understatement.

His career basically took off when he was at a tender age. When his friends were busy playing video games, he was already driving his dad’s truck by 12.

He has shown the world that to win in drag racing, one needs a powerful engine only. The appearance of the car has nothing to do with anything. Sean can literally transform anything with wheels on it into a great race car.

His first car 70’ Ford Camper Special did well by him in the streets. When he joined the Street Outlaws Cast, Sean and AZM used this very car to race.

Understandably, his opponents always underestimated him when they saw the car. However, the amazing racer always smoked them when they least expected it.

Despite being in the public eye, Sean likes to keep a low profile. Very little is known about him besides his passion for street racing. He refuses to talk about his private life, earnings, and all that stuff. The only information available is what he lets out during the show.

He’s mentioned a couple of times that he’s married but his wife has never really made a public appearance. We are yet to see kids as well. A few years back, rumors of him dating his racing and business partner filled the air. However, Sean has since put the rumors to rest claiming he’s as single as they come.
