what happened to chuck seitsinger

Chuck Seitsinger, known from the reality TV show Street Outlaws and as a respected figure in the racing community, went through a significant personal and legal crisis starting in 2020. He was convicted on misdemeanor charges including making threatening and harassing phone calls to his ex-wife and threatening an act of violence. He was sentenced to 18 months with most suspended except for 60 days, which he served in the Oklahoma County jail, along with a mandatory 13-week anger management program. This legal trouble stemmed from attempts to protect his children during a difficult period while he was hospitalized with severe COVID-19 and his children faced issues at their mother's house. Despite his jail time and the impact on his career and reputation, Chuck has expressed readiness to return to racing and has continued to be involved in car building and racing events post-sentence. His story is marked by his fight for his family, struggles with health, and efforts toward a comeback in the racing world.
