His saddened girlfriend tells him that a drag racer from a popular reality TV show had died in a terrible car accident.
On the weekend in southwest Texas, Nathan Schaldach, known as Cali Nate on the Discovery series Street Outlaws, had a crash.
In a heartbreaking Facebook post, his girlfriend Courtney Paulshock confirmed his death and described him as her “true love.”
“I feel empty.” On the following day, she wrote, “I’m in complete disbelief.”
“It’s like my heart is shattering.”
Paulshock reported that the incident took place during Schaldach’s race at Eagle Pass, which is approximately two hours west of San Antonio.
Despite their efforts to transport him to the hospital, his friends were unable to save his life.
Paulshock stated that she did not want to provide any additional information about the cause of the Schaldach crash or the events leading up to it.
His girlfriend expressed, “Reuniting with his mom and sister brought him immense joy.”
“He pursued his passions outdoors.”
“Experiencing the love that Nathan gave me and showed me every day was a true blessing.”
Schaldach made an appearance in the fourth season of the TV show Street Outlaws: Fastest in America, which followed eight drag racing teams competing for a $100,000 prize.
His season came to an end in May of last year.
The original Street Outlaws, which featured daring street racers risking their lives to participate, served as the inspiration for the current program.
Drag racing involves two cars racing on a short, straight track towards a finish line.
Due to the high fatality rate associated with street racing, many jurisdictions have banned it, even though professional sports are generally considered safe.
In 2022, during the filming of Street Outlaws, Ryan Fellows, an actor on the show, tragically lost his life in a car accident. This incident deeply affected the network, as stated by a spokesperson from Discovery.
The driver’s vehicle overturned and caught fire during a race in Las Vegas. The U.S. Sun has reached out to Texas police for further information regarding Nate’s collision.
Upon hearing the news of Schaldach’s untimely passing, his friends and admirers expressed their grief and offered their condolences online.
Chris Frank, a close friend of Schaldach, revealed that he had trouble sleeping after receiving the devastating news. In a Facebook video, Frank mentioned that those who raced against Schaldach feared him, while those who knew him as a friend loved him.
We are all aware that any ride could be our last, and every race carries inherent dangers.
Nate was considered one of the last true racers who had a genuine passion and understanding for the sport.
In one of her heartfelt farewell emails, Paulshock assured Schaldach that she would love him forever.
Garth asked me to say I love you a lot in case tomorrow never comes,” he messaged his girlfriend. This was the driver’s last race ever.
Paulshock commented, “Please wake me up from this bad dream,” with a screenshot of the conversation.
Later that day, she posted Lady Gaga’s song “I’ll Never Love Again” from the movie A Star Is Born.
