Kyle Loftis, the founder of automotive YouTube channel 1320Video, has died after helping to turn underground drag racing and street car culture into a global online phenomenon. His death, announced on 5 May 2026, has stunned fans and creators alike, closing a chapter for a brand that spent more than two decades documenting grassroots motorsports often ignored by mainstream outlets.
1320Video confirmed that Loftis died on Tuesday night, but representatives did not provide any details about the circumstances of his death. That has left fans mourning one of digital motorsports media's earliest builders while still waiting for a formal cause of death update.
