Derick is all around guy..... Great driver,great mechanic,great dad....

I always look forward to Friday nights to see what you, your beloved Jessica, and the boys are up to. I want to say thank you for being the man that you are in a time in history when real men are very rare. Thank you for being the father that you are and teaching your children. Thank you for being a good husband and provider that I’m sure some days must be worn to a frazzle. Thank you for being the teacher that you are for the sake of the hot Rod community and future generations. Thank you for the diversity on your channel because while I absolutely love the revivals, I am many others also love the racing stuff. Thank you for not using profanity. This fact allows us to use your videos to teach from. Thank you for being a man of honor and integrity that is filled with humor. You give me hope for the future. You really bless an old man’s heart. Keep up the good work. Well done guy.

Derick, your channel growth is a credit to your personality. 1.9Million subs? Wow. You had around 250k when I joined. Congratulations, you guys earned it.

25:17 I think that was Red Green fixing that Turbo on the Pacer! Duct tape is amazing!

So much fun to see Derek do so well in the race! Obviously he loves racing!

Hope you guys came through the storms OK....Thanks as always

Derek is without doubt the best Crown Vic driver on the track. If they ever give him a car with horsepower equal to the others, he will rule first place.

Derek is by far the nicest feller around

Congratulations on 2nd place!! Awesome video! Thank You.

Who else looks for this after work on a Friday...

The greatest thing on yutube the man with a plan, nope just winging it. VGG

2nd ain't too shabby big guy

I like the pacer, you should build something cool like that for your next burnout car. I never really cared for Charlotte the ex race truck it was too generic and had no style.

Love all your stuff Derek. I’ve been a member for almost 3 years

Sweet, My brothers and I traveled from Michigan to see Derek And Jessica and made it into the video, very cool experience for us fellers!!! Thanks Derek and VGG!!! And you were correct sir, I’m the feller you told it was hotter than Sarah Evans out there!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! You came in 2nd in a race against Tony Stewart. You did awesome! Good work.

Towards the end there that 4.8 in Pit Boss was sounding more like a typewriter than a motor.

The editing is next level. Great job Derek.

Daaaaamn getting mighty close to that 2 million mark

The van race was great the foot race was even better. Thanks for making the video D!

It was a honor giving the 4.8 its final send off.🇺🇸

Derek, congratulations brother nearly 2 million awesome subscribers. You deserve it for the amount of work you always put in keeping us entertained. Your hard work is appreciated.

You beat smoke in a race my man……..congrats brotha!!!!

Almost 2m subscribers now. Incredible and good for VGG!

I was there with my boys and wife cheering you on. It was a great weekend!

Great race! Moses Sandals that's outstanding!

Great job to all. Hey Derek, sure seems like you make these vids just for me. That's what makes us all feel like family. Bless all the Vise Grippers out there!

Well, you beat Tony Steward, that's saying something there considering he's a professional NASCAR driver. 2ND is nothing to sneeze at, enjoy the moment bud :) I hope the storms missed the homestead considering you moved to Tenn. Thank you Derek and family.

Burnout competitions have always been around to this fella in Victoria Australia my entire life. I remember going to them in the 90s when I was a child. Glad to see they are taking off in the US! Mostly due to Cleeter coming here a few years back to check out Summernats. Maybe you should come one day ! It gets wild though

Derek thanks for the entertainment you and your family are comedy gold,and amazing human beings period!!! SO THANK YOU!!!!!

The music was giving me strong “Ocean’s 11” vibes…I LOVED IT! lol

It has been such fun to watch all these video's from the different channels. Yours was the best.

Congrats on 2nd place Derek, finally some luck goes your way, what a race! Really good to see burnout competitions taking off in the states, been a part of Australian life for decades, but it's never too late! Instant smoke, constant smoke, and LOTS of smoke is key.

Happy Friday, Derek! Thanks

Got to meet you at your booth and had you sign my hat! Was an absolute pleasure to get to meet you guys!!

Great job racing! Amazing video again,always great content bud always look forward to Friday night now more than ever.

THE best way to start the weekend!!! VGG never disappoints. Congrats on second place! Well done Derek.

Awesome episode! The send off on the 4.8 was fantastic! Thanks so much for taking us along!

This old guy just loves your videos thank you Sasquatch

I was never a guy into watching TV but Derick and most of the other youtube car content folks do a dang good job of entertaining and motivating me to get my projects going. Derick, I can't thank you enough for your content, the education, and the drive.

Great to see another video - Thanks for bringing us along. The 1776 car is looking good.

Great driving! 2nd place is a hell of an accomplishment! Love the channel been watching for many years!

Just watched Bentleys video, and now this, nice. That boy of yours is sure doing really good figuring thing's out on the stuff he work's on, must have paid attention to dad. I feel good about this generation of kid's when i see good parent's raising their kid's right. G-d bless.

Well, that was fun. Can't wait till the next one!

Derek you deserve a win in the crown vics and the burnout competition and you're going to get a win buddy keep pushing keep up the great work God bless you

He went he saw and got to blow it up!!! Good deal. Congrats on 2nd place.

Kinda love seeing these Vics living out their lives like this.

Fun’s important 👍

4:57 _"I need a band-aid..."_ But you're holding a _roll_ of it!

Thanks for coming back to INDY! Thanks to you and jessica for signing my sons stroller 🤘

Rollin' with Smoke, now thats a feather in the cap

One of the most awesome, down the earth and humble influencers. I’ve had to opportunity to be around, especially watching how he interacts with the kiddos. Also Brian was pretty awesome too and he looks like he could be Derek’s “younger” brother lol

I love it! Congratulations on 2nd place as I believe that is your best finish yet!

Was so cool to meet y’all on Friday and Saturday! Got my merch, pics with you, and my shirt signed. Thought for sure on that last restart when you, Zach, and Tony went 3 wide that you were gonna catch ‘em slippin and take it! Awesome race, and great event all around!

My Pinto didn’t have power steering but had awesome mag wheels and an 8 track lol

Great drive as always Derek. Congratulations on 2nd.

A feller was watching the cannonball run and I’ll be dipped if I didn’t hear a guy say I’ll be dipped

Love the video. I'm so glad no one got hurt. Derek, you rock !😊

This was much better than NASCAR

Just a family man loving what he does! Semper fi

Not a fan of burnout comp - but I'll watch you do anything you enjoy! Please start planning something really special for when you hit 2M -- what an awesome milestone!!! Also give us a report on the recent storms in your area. Hope everyone is ok.

Really impressed by how silent the engine in the jeep until then I never heard one that didn't have valvetrain noise

Moses Sandals!! It was hard to kill that SBC in Pitt Boss!!

Any chance that a guy can suggest some thermal cameras to see through the smoke?

Great choice on the orange monster. Freaking delicious

If you ever had a great car you would win a crown vic race. You are so much a racer!!!! Love the burnout as well!!! Your DA Man!!!!!

Pacer for the win..or not! Great burn out none the less! And Congrats on nearly 2 million!

Thank you for posting videos I can sit back and watch with my 7 year old grandson and not worry about the language!!

Saw the highlights of this on Matt Carrikers channel. Cool that Tony Stewart raced.

Awesome to be racing against the legend TS. I remember when he would race the Indy 500 and then fly down to I think it was Charlotte for the Cup race the same night. Congrats for 2nd. Your success is what dreams are made of. Fun is the key word for this fellow.

The plumbers truck so unique and beautiful meaning, Win!

Thanks again Derek!

Family, Fans, and Patriotism are why Derek is going to cross TWO MILLION subscribers. L E T S G O

Derek...lol..you definitely had some wobble pops didn't you..😂😂😂

It was awesome to watch it live, I was on my feet yelling when you came in 2nd...!

Always a top contender!! You got the next one for sure!!

Exemplary music choice again Derek, love " Snakes and Fire" what a tune.

Those 4.8l's are EXTREMELY tuff!!!

33:53 the cheer of death! 😂😂😂

Great job on 2nd place. 🤙

Hey Derek! I'm so glad me and my brother got to meet you and James at your booth! I hope it wasnt too awkward of an encounter! A guy was a bit star struck! Im not sure if I even said thanks for signing my hat so I'll say it here. Thanks for signing my hat and congrats on 2nd place!

I personally don't get the whole burnout thing, but hey, it's not like anyone is forcing me to watch those parts of the video... A lot of people don't seem to be capable of grasping it. Between the revivals, drag and drives and others there's a boat load of content to watch on yours and others channels. Keep it up and do what you enjoy doing, these vids are a blast!

Oh Cleetus gets right into it doing the dance lol 🇨🇦

What a great episode!! My Favorite moment: "....and we beat Tony Stewart..."!!! 😂 My brother ran dirt modifieds with him when he made his appearance at New Egypt Speedway, in NJ. Those were great times!! Thanks Derek 👍. 😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Very nice editing! Congrats on the great race.

Congrats young fella❤😊

That was a stellar race!! I watched it on Cleetus and man! I don't get excited about circle tracks too much, but I was excited to see all of you (including Tony) work through the pack to that nail biting ending! Great job!

Glad to say it was nice seeing a feller

Aah the scatter button on the Pacer 😂 i love it. In my 4l60 car, i have one too! you just put it in drive, hit the gas, and BOOM, neutrals everywhere!😂

Another fun event with the leader of it all....Derek!

Awesome, hello from Uvalde, Texas
