**Counting Cars Was SHUTDOWN After a TERRIFYING Discovery: The Untold Story Behind the Silence**

For ten seasons, *Counting Cars* was a global sensation, captivating fans with Danny “The Count” Coker and his team as they transformed rusty relics into automotive masterpieces. But in 2021, the show abruptly vanished from the History Channel—no finale, no farewell, just silence. Fans were left wondering: Why did such a successful show disappear overnight?

The answer is a story of betrayal, heartbreak, and survival. The trouble began behind the scenes, when Danny’s trusted shop, Count’s Customs, hired Joseph Frontier in 2016 to manage their accounts.

Entrusted with the company’s finances, Frontier began siphoning money—eventually stealing $75,000 to fund his own lavish lifestyle, including personal airline tickets and a down payment on a Range Rover. Worse, his neglect led to an $18,000 IRS penalty for unpaid taxes, threatening the very future of the business.

But the most chilling discovery was yet to come. As Danny and his team investigated, they found Frontier had secretly created signature stamps for Danny and his best friend, Kevin Mack. With these, Frontier could have emptied bank accounts, signed contracts, or sold company assets—all without their knowledge. The theft was not just financial—it was a calculated plan to seize control, putting the entire company and its legacy at risk.

When the truth surfaced, Danny acted quickly, filing lawsuits and seeking justice. But Frontier had vanished, reportedly living in Florida, out of reach of law enforcement. The damage was done: the money was gone, trust was shattered, and the family atmosphere that defined Count’s Customs was broken.

Fans, meanwhile, misdirected their suspicions at Scott Jones, the original manager and bookkeeper who left after season two. Rumors swirled that Scott was the thief, but the real reason for his departure was family—he moved to Tennessee to raise his son, choosing a quiet life over reality TV. Another fan favorite, Roly Sabo, left to start his own detailing business, which struggled during the pandemic. The team was falling apart.

The biggest concern came when Kevin Mack, Danny’s right-hand man and best friend, suddenly disappeared from the show in season ten. Fans feared the betrayal had ended their decades-long friendship. But in reality, Kevin simply stepped away from the cameras, choosing to focus on running the shop behind the scenes. He and Danny remain close, and Kevin still manages day-to-day operations.

As the cast left and trust eroded, Danny faced another battle—a wave of online scams using his image to promote fake CBD products. The History Channel was unhappy with the negative publicity, and Danny’s relationship with the network soured. The combination of internal betrayal, cast departures, bad publicity, and network disputes led to the quiet shutdown of *Counting Cars*.

In 2025, another blow came: Danny’s beloved Count’s Vamp’d Bar & Grill announced its permanent closure. Yet, through it all, Count’s Customs remains open and thriving. Danny, Kevin, Ryan Evans, and Horny Mike continue to build cars and welcome fans. Danny Coker survived the storm—he cut loose the toxic elements, retreated from the spotlight, and preserved what mattered most.

*Counting Cars* is gone, the bar is closing, but the shop—and the family at its heart—endures. The show may be over, but the Count’s legacy rolls on.
