Kyle Loftis, the 34-year-old founder of 1320Video who spent two decades turning underground drag racing into a global digital phenomenon, died on 5 May 2026, just weeks after one of his most famous protégés handed him the keys to a brand-new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
1320Video confirmed Loftis's death in a statement posted to its Instagram page that night. 'We are extremely saddened to share that Kyle Loftis, the founder of 1320video, passed away last night,' the company wrote. 'We are in a state of shock.'
