Indy 800! - Wrecked at 3rd | Behind the Scenes | Independence Damage Update 

No doubt!!! Have you seen PFI’s video?. Ole Brent got pretty heated for some one putting him in the wall, don’t know if it was accidentally, or ignorance like you said.

@@jcnpresser Derrick's the only one I watch, but I'll check it out.

i kno this much i used to wonder if this guy cusses lol after watching this i dont any more lol

​@@bandwagon240 out of all these people, Derek and Cleetus are the only ones I watch.

Because NASCAR got into politics and mostly all the drivers are rich boy cry babies that's never turned a wrench in there life it was 10× better u gotta admit during the good ol boy days

Its what made NASCAR great, now its just kids driving who are sponsored by theirs dad's money/companies racing, no fun in that.

Can’t deny the entertainment value of doing the absolute most with the least.

Nascar's got nothing on Cletus .

hmm. no mortgage level admission price, less of a wall between participant and spectator, more diverse activities than only round and round, i'd say its quite a winning situatuon:)

Truth!

Hope they start to bring in more cars like the Caprice

@@alexandercurtis4427 It would be hard to find enough Caprices since 1996 was the last year of production.

@@mexicanspec 2011-2017 police car😉

Smokey U. Is chuckling to this comment 😆

Same! (aside from the medical issues 🙃) Love this channel!

you really need know not a thing but how to laugh,smile,like great entertainment.oh deicpherin dericks witisms is a go along thing lol

It used to be that Manufacturers had to produce cars that were used in nascar. Now nascar is taking 4door cars and turning them into 2 door cars. And don't get me started on stage racing. That's when I stopped watching nascar.

That doesn't work

@@12yearssober Sure it does, I had to do that in my 92 Cavalier at every drive thru line I sat in when it was hot.

@@12yearssober It works , the coil in the heater is just a small rad

@@--_DJ_-- Wouldn't work at speed long term.

Drove 400 miles in summer with heater on, only way it stayed cool.

Big time. there are a few, like Derek that know how to race but the rest of the field are a bunch of hooligans, smashin, bashin n wreckin Cletus' cars. The races are fun but there are some guys that kinda spoil it. I'd love to see Derek race with a field of actual pros. He would hang in there if he didn't hafta play bumper cars.

Seriously. I have been watching racing for years and I think some of these jokers shouldn't be allowed in pedal cars. Grabbing people whose only claim to fame is taking selfies or you tubers and sticking them on a race track is going to get someone killed at some point. Yeah, never mind. It would probably go viral and that would bring out more race car driver wannbes

It's gotten alot better the last race or two. I think theyve set some ground rules about racing cleaner. I hope they figure out something for cooling on these ol Vics so they can last longer and not have to buy a new fleet so often to have these races.

Yeah, hat’s off to Derek. Each time I saw him back off to avoid spinning someone else I couldn’t help thinking he was the only one out there who would.

@@ReallyDumbName Kevin from KSR races clean as well. Hes had many chances to spin folks, like Derek, but didn't. Makes for much more exciting racing imo.

Knowing when not to be a thorn in someone’s side is a commendable attribute. I award you🥇 gold .

I'd love to meet Derek and see independents it's my favorite RU-vid car even over Leroy and ruby mullet is a close 2nd

@@michaelsclark I have a 72 Chevelle SS that was my dads. I’ve been around them my whole life. It’s a little, ok a lot nicer then Independence but I think that car is really cool and he keeps making it better.

Yup I agree with this

Amen Brother, this is what it's all about. Not that commercial crap they call Nascar. It was awesome back in the 60's and 70's, that was racing.

I couldn't agree more.

😂😂😂😂

@@picard2069 you are absolutely correct there, good sir!! Very valid point...

Nah Derek seems too honest to deal with the corruption in DC.

Nobody for POTUS

I really dig those ford y-blocks, own a couple myself. They certainly have a sound all their own don't they?

It would've been a 292, but I loved those y-block Ford's, FUN!!!

Exactly. Punk wouldn't want to come around me after the race. Cannot stand the little goof and hope he never gets called back.

Seems like every 2 laps Derek was checking up to not spin someone either dive bombing below him and sliding up, or pinching his line from the top down lol

You suggesting he deserved being spun out ? Lol 😂 It’s definitely a questionable call.

@@Charlies_Riding_Adventures just thought the blinker on was funny.

@@scottjrichter it’s definitely funny

He’s still doing them.

Yeah, me too. IO can understand it from Derek's point of view though. Changing things up, like he has been recently, must make it more interesting for him. The long distance "will it run" episodes can get really time-consuming, by the time he travels to these far-flung places, then limps the vehicle home. That's all time away from home and from the family. These events mean they can spend time together as a family and still produce great content. Apart from anything else, the way inflation is going right now(especially fuel) the rescue videos must be expensive too. Taking travel, accomodation and subsistence into account, along with parts, tools and fuel, it must cost a fortune. I sometimes wonder how many Harbor Freight toolkits Derek has lying about the shop; he seems to buy one for nearly every rescue.😁 I hope we get back to more of those videos in the future but I've never been disappointed with any of VGGs videos, on 𝒆𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 channel.

Yeah I feel like she finally accomplished what she was built for now it's on to bigger and faster things.

@@kodymayhew3104 Independence just got a heart transplant and is ready for another marathon season. One more year.

It's all repairable.

She's no museum piece, never will be, I hope he continues to fully send it. It's what she was built for after all.

@@williamgreer4087 for some of us shes an iconic peice of American history

Yeah "She's a little bit loose." he said . LOL

The latest issue of Hot Rod magazine has an article on exactly that, racing series for Crown Vics, also known as "P2" or "Panther" platform cars. Has links for the organizations.

Just get a panther body anyway, they are great. I'd wager the grand marquis is actually the best to get given it's lower ride height compared to p71 cars. Rear end is easy enough to change out for the right one.

@@_badsine_ all Panther cars are exactly the same the Grand Marquis doesn’t handle has good as the P71 Panthers which are the best ones to buy most fun to drive and the coolest looking apart from the Marauder which is almost too rare to find anyway

Agreed!
