I have watched this at LEAST 25 times. Everytime I smile for several hours afterwards. Whoa BABY!!!!!!

finally a real race car and driver i can't stand electronics on race cars between delay boxes on drag car's and traction control on dirt track car's racing is becoming a non talent sport thank you donnie for helping me keep the faith.

Always bet Dicken unless you’re a chicken

Does it matter what kind of car you have for no box? I daily a c4 Vette and wanted to run it but they only have a few classes it can be in and that's one of them.

The young man is still on a roll, I feel proud to say he and his family are my friends!

Cory is AWESOME

I’m Donnie’s dad and I can tell you that he is so dedicated to being the best bracket racer he can possibly be! I bought a Pete Biondo final round full size practice tree back in the late 1990’s and he has worn out at least a half dozen switches practicing his reaction times. Donnie started going to the track with me every weekend since he was three years old. I have to say he was differently paying attention! When he was seven years old he would tell me about the people I was about to race , what their cars ran and how good they where on the tree. I won two races one weekend at Ubly dragway because of his input. So he knows the bracket racing game inside and out! We have been through so much together and it is so gratifying to see all the hard work and struggles payoff for him! I built the engine in the Vega and I have done all the drive train work on the car and if people really knew how low budget the car really is they probably won’t believe it! The motor is a street 383 that I was gonna use in my street car until he blew up his motor at the end of the year so I put my 383 in it so he could finish up the race season that year. If someone would have told me he would win the million with this motor I would have said your high. So for me that makes this a true under dog story. Donnie drives both ends of the track to make it work! This was like bringing a butter knife to a machine gun fight. Lol! He is the a perfect example of if you try hard and believe in yourself you can accomplish anything!! I would like to say thanks to everyone for your kind words about Donnie!! He is a great human being and the best son a guy could have!! To say I’m proud is a understatement! ❤

And i thought i saw it all

Amazing! My husband came home telling me about this rags to riches story and had to look it up!!!! I love a good Cinderella story!

He cuts a mean light....l would like to see all his reaction times during the race

How is he not red lighted. His car jumps before light turns green. Easy to see.

Questions? Do any of you run the Electric fans or water pump during your run?

I don’t really understand what makes the dragster’s so great at bracket racing but it’s still pretty cool. Congrats Donnie

Transbrake car?????

Bracket racing shouldn't be allowed to be referred to as "racing"... The one out front at the end of the race is the winner... The bracket bull crap is where the money is though for whatever reason...

My cousin George Shackelford won 1974 Vega for college. Aluminum block was space age.

The commentator needs to not be commentating

Awesome job Donny your my hero.Glad I am blessed to know ya you earned it brother.

Sammy couldnt drive 55 and neither could donny

I wish donnie woulda had a go pro in car to see his reaction. I would went crazy haha

00 Donnie

Congrats to Donnie. Those reaction times were other worldly. We just witnessed a bonfide miracle for humble young man.

INCREDIBLE 🤯

The next Chip Horton!

Nice to see the little guys kick some butt. We don't need no BOX😊

I know Donnie, and his family since he was a very little lad. Donnie is a fantastic young man, and he is as humble as you see here....ALL THE TIME. I am soooo very proud him and his family, they are fantastic people. The Hagar's are one of the few, I will travel to watch them race. I wish I could have been there to see this in person. Great job Donnie, that was totally awesome. Finding out you won made ME feel good inside!

There ain't anything better.

That young man was putting together some killer packages! I did some footbrake bracket racing years ago but what this racer did was just insane! Awesome job Sir!

VEGA'S RULE!

Kid should get a sponsored ride in one of the new Pro/FX cars.

Congrats Donnie from Michigan

Hagar’s Toy!

This guy is deadly on the tree..WOW !

One heck of a performance by the young man.
