As a fan, I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Cali Nate (Nathan Schaldach) in a street racing accident on April 6, 2024. His untimely death came just months after the passing of Lizzy Musi due to breast cancer and the devastating on-set crash that took the life of Ryan Fellows in 2022.
After making an appearance on the popular Discovery series “Street Outlaws,” Nathan Schaldach, better known as Cali Nate, tragically lost his life in a street racing accident on April 6 in Eagle Pass, Texas. His long-term partner, Courtney Paulshock, announced the sad news on Facebook, albeit sharing only limited information about the incident. Deeply mourning the loss of someone dear to her, Paulshock expressed her sorrow over the demise of her loved one. Schaldach leaves behind two children.
Cali Nate made an appearance on the “Street Outlaws” series, representing the Californian squad based on his nickname. He gained recognition for operating a Mustang adorned with the phrase “My Little Pony” prominently displayed at the front. In his conversation with G2K in 2023, he emphasized his shared enthusiasm for street racing: “People assume I’m special because of ‘Street Outlaws,’ but I’m just like you all. I’m here to enjoy ourselves.”
The past year has been particularly challenging for the “Street Outlaws” community. In June 2024, we were struck by the sad news of Lizzy Musi’s passing from breast cancer. Her achievements as a streetcar driver left an indelible mark on the community. Tragically, this loss comes on the heels of the unfortunate on-set crash that claimed the life of “Street Outlaws: Fastest in America” star Ryan Fellows in 2022.
Cali Nate’s loved ones received an outpouring of support from Street Outlaws fans
As a gamer, I’ve been following Courtney Paulshock’s Instagram account closely since the passing of Cali Nate. A few months ago, she shared an update with us through a video post from Donut Falls in Utah. I confess, it had been a long time since I went for a hike or explored nature, just like old times with Cali. Today, I decided to make my way to the base of this stunning waterfall and let the cool water cascade over my feet. Alas, the water level was too high for me to reach the actual falls, but I could picture Cali’s excitement and joy as if he were there with me. The profound sense of his absence left me feeling both melancholic and grateful for our shared memories. Fans from all corners have rallied around this loss, expressing their condolences and cherishing the down-to-earth spirit that Cali Nate brought to our lives.
A Reddit thread emerged with sympathies from “Street Outlaws” fans for Nathan Schaldach’s family and loved ones during this difficult period. u/corhouse expressed condolences, “This is truly unfortunate and heart-wrenching. My deepest sympathies go out to Nate and his family. I have faith that the racing community will come together to support them during this time.” Similar messages poured in from other racers and organizations, sharing fond memories of having met Schaldach personally.
Since the inception of “Street Outlaws,” tragedy has cast a shadow over the series, with the unfortunate death of Tyler “Flip” Priddy being a sobering reminder. Let us all hope that the racing community experiences a respite from such incidents. May Schaldach’s passing underscore the significance of prioritizing safety in racing activities.
