Daddy Dave, better known as Daddy Dave from the popular Discovery Channel reality series Street Outlaws, has made a name for himself both on the track and on television. As a well-known figure in the racing world, Daddy Dave brings a mix of charisma and mechanical expertise that fans have come to admire. Before he became a household name, Daddy Dave was just a young guy from Oklahoma with a dream—and that dream started at the age of 16. It was back then that he first felt the thrill of speed, sitting behind the wheel of his parents’ 1978 Chevy Impala. That moment sparked a lifelong passion for racing that would eventually define his career.

Growing up, Daddy Dave was raised alongside his brothers by their parents, Peter and Marge Comstock. Family played a big role in shaping who he became, and that close-knit upbringing grounded him even as fame came knocking. For years, Daddy Dave worked diligently as a technician at Comstock Auto Service, an Oklahoma shop where he honed his skills and deepened his love for high-performance vehicles. It’s no surprise that Daddy Dave’s journey—from backyard racer to televised star—resonates with so many. Even today, Daddy Dave remains a central figure in the Street Outlaws universe, continuing to inspire fans with his authenticity and dedication.
