From a broken iPhone taped to a garage door to FREAKING BRISTOL BABY!!!!! Seriously Derek, VGG TRUCK PARKED IN THE FREAKING INFIELD AT BRISTOL!!!!! So proud of you buddy
Plus he has a new TV show coming out on MotorTrend next Month. He has come a long way in just 3yrs.. Congratulations Derek and family. Well deserved brother. All those days of freezing your butt off up north laying in a fence row getting a car running has paid off….🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🏁🏁
Derek works harder than almost anyone & harder than anyone I know. Also, his undimmed enthusiasm despite often *self inflicted challenges is infectious to watch & inspiring. *In the sense he had a decent history of rough / outfield old car rescues & whistle rides home that you’d not always have expected to go well.
He is an example of what a good man, good Christian man, should be. The love he shows to his wife and kids. If more Americans where like him. Well gas probably wouldn't cost an arm, leg, and a kidney...
I know you don't have a lot of time to sit around watching TH-cam but don't sleep on Goonzquad. They are good young men that were raised right. Derek, you would be proud. I'm sure that many VGG fans are also Goonzquad fans.
You mentioned KY Headhunters a couple weeks ago... coincidence, they are playing in nearby johnson city on race day. Whole family and guys at work all love your content...thank you, be safe. Will see you all at Bristol.
I've been going to Bristol for many years. I saw Dale Sr. win his first ever race there and lived through the Darrell Waltrip domination. I've seen the evolution of the track from asphalt high banks to concrete. The trend has been going to running a higher line as the tires wear in. This allows going deeper into the turn and keeping momentum off the turn.
8:00, Sat here with tears in my eyes listening to that V8 roar echoing throughout the stadium. Everything I love about the internal combustion engine captured on film in 30 seconds. Amazing work as always Derek, thanks for this.
Derek is a legend. Glad he was able to take part in something this cool, and was able to add his touch to the event. Godspeed man, and heres to hoping for many more rescues and videos.
I sure hope I get to come. I bought tickets yesterday morning and about an hour and a half later my company sent me to Texas. I sure hope I'm back in time.
Just made hotel reservations this week! Making the 8+ hour drive to see this craziness in person! Looking forward to a much needed mini vacation in Bristol!
Finally, proper perspective of the bank on the track. At 4:00 when the gopro tries to account for the bank gives a real world account of how steep it is. Everyone else has said it was steep, but this really puts it into perspective. Nice.
*I'm counting on you to finish first.* This is your race. I wish I could be there in person but unfortunately I'm a severely disabled 52 year old Firefighter/EMT and I'm not able to drive myself that far. But I'll be watching on my phone. *Be safe, have fun an WIN🏁*
Where are you from brother. I also am retired/disabled Firefighter/EMR. I live in Tennessee an hour from Bristol. I'm also Ex- Military. I'll be praying for you sir.
Thank you Derek. Another amazing video. Those in-car shots of you going around the track are the best in-car views of Bristol that I have ever seen. Thank you!!
Everybody needs to visit Bristol one time in their lives! I wish I didn’t live 10 hours away. I visit for at least one of the NASCAR weekends each year and the first time coming around the corner and seeing the track is amazing. Driving on the track is a whole different level of awesome! Can’t wait to watch this event, good luck!
Love the acoutics of that place, great to hear that sound. Four of my favourite sounds..American V8 at chat on a circuit, V12 Merlin (Spitfire or Lancaster) and the sound of an Adams 02 with a westinghouse pump chuffin away! Or a Ford DFV on full chat. Goregous noise.
The gimbal on your in car camera gave the best impression of the banking at this track that I've seen to date. Also, living in the UK it's funny hearing people getting excited about going to Bristol!
Looks like everyone was having a blast. I can hardly wait for the race! Thanks for posting this video. I was curious to see what your take would be on the track & how the cars worked there. Good luck during the race! As long as something crazy doesn't happen I think you have an excellent chance of winning! You have proved that you're an awesome Wheelman! Could you have every imagined the day you taped that phone to your garage that you would be where & doing what you are now? What a ride! Thanks for bringing us along!!
Congratulations Derek on your success with motortrend and your continued TH-cam videos, I have always been a huge fan and I’m beyond happy to see you being successful! Can’t wait for the 27th so I can watch your new show
Massive congratulations on the announcement Derek! Your statement was perfect. You've made it happen on your terms and that's genius. Can't wait to see it. Complete respect and big joy for all of you.
This has to be an additional check on a bucket list you never actually thought of. Growing up around short tracks to hangin out and racing on "THE" short track has to be just an awesome feeling. Congrats to you Derek!! 🤘🤘
A Cup night race at Bristol is my Unicorn, man. Is this what being a Packers fan is like? Cleet is crazy but that 75+' jump over that Viper was Insane!!! Felt a pang in my heart when you said you were haulin ass to see your boys football game...just another reason I'm proud to be a fan. Yup.
Bristol also does a nice Christmas light show... I had a 94 Pontiac Sunbird and you have to go up the bank to exit... Needless to say I BARELY made it up
Probably the best footage yet from everyone's practice runs that shows you the true banking on Bristol. Good job Derek on your camera placement. Good luck feller.
GOOSEBUMPS!! I love it!!! Did the Petty Ride-A-Long at Lowes Motor Speedway and Darlington. Wished I could have been the one behind the wheel. Love the speed though.
They do make an aluminum intake for the vic the plastic manifolds are well know for cracking warping and being just a pain regardless of how you treat them
From a broken iPhone taped to a garage door to FREAKING BRISTOL BABY!!!!!
Seriously Derek, VGG TRUCK PARKED IN THE FREAKING INFIELD AT BRISTOL!!!!!
So proud of you buddy
Yeah man this is sweetness
Plus he has a new TV show coming out on MotorTrend next Month. He has come a long way in just 3yrs.. Congratulations Derek and family. Well deserved brother. All those days of freezing your butt off up north laying in a fence row getting a car running has paid off….🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🏁🏁
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy! We are all so proud of you Derek and family!
🔥🔥🔥

Funny I'm writing this but I really look up to Derek in some ways. Always keeping composure, friendly, fair and caring. What a role model this guy is.
i completely agree with that.
He's doing what we all want to do
Unfortunately, he’s a roll model on the track down in Florida.
Old school values, as I have.Good ol boy
Why’s it funny your writing this? Seems pretty normal to me.. just giving you a hard time
Thank you for your wholesome, family oriented channels, Derek. Super fans at our house.
One of the few car channels my wife enjoys watching.
Truth 🙏🙏
He’s got the only channel I can count on not having coarse language or inappropriate jokes so I can share car content with my kids!
He is an example of what a good man, good Christian man, should be. The love he shows to his wife and kids. If more Americans where like him. Well gas probably wouldn't cost an arm, leg, and a kidney...
right on brother
How awesome to be able to say "I put down laps at Bristol"! Very cool Derek 😎
You ain’t kiddin’. What a blast that would be.
One day a feller was out working on his old tractor, now he’s makin’ some laps at Bristol speedway . Eyeing up ramps with his parts getter !!!😁👌👍🙏✌️😎🤙
A feller sure does love seeing an upload when it's break time at work. Wettin down the ol back neck. Love the videos keep em coming!!
I know you don't have a lot of time to sit around watching TH-cam but don't sleep on Goonzquad. They are good young men that were raised right. Derek, you would be proud. I'm sure that many VGG fans are also Goonzquad fans.
You got that right
Also Dillon McCool...good guy
It was nice to see them on here and to finally see Simone and his Fiancee.
Derek that was real cool you showing the steep banks as you did. Wow. Thanks so much.
You mentioned KY Headhunters a couple weeks ago... coincidence, they are playing in nearby johnson city on race day. Whole family and guys at work all love your content...thank you, be safe. Will see you all at Bristol.
What the heck! My hump day just got 37.845% better! Thanks Derek !!

Best angle of the Viper jump I have seen.
Hello from Saskatchewan, Canada great videos thanks for sharing
HOLY CRAP! AMAZING JUMPING TRUCK!!!
Love the fact you drove the square body!!! Stay safe and be blessed 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
8:00, Sat here with tears in my eyes listening to that V8 roar echoing throughout the stadium. Everything I love about the internal combustion engine captured on film in 30 seconds.
Amazing work as always Derek, thanks for this.
Derek I would love to see you help the goonzquad boys with their ol Camaro! Seeing you with them together would be soooo epic. Dang son!
Watching from Bristol UK
Can't wait for Budget Shop Build Ep4.
Thanks man. You’re videos are helping a guy get though some tough times.
Prayers for peace, healing and comfort for you!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hang in there, man. It gets better I promise. Obviously I don't know your situation, but I truly speak from experience... Keep your head up, brother.
This is going to be so awesome thanks for the preview. It was really nice to see a new Vice Grip Lodge Video thank you sir!
Omg, wow, nice jump. 👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Wow at Cleatus jumping the viper with the stadium truck that was sick
My bucket list along with Daytona and Phoenix.
I probably missed see anyone Tuesday morning when I was leaving Johnson City Tennessee at 5 am. Good truckers life
Derek is a legend. Glad he was able to take part in something this cool, and was able to add his touch to the event. Godspeed man, and heres to hoping for many more rescues and videos.
a video from Dereck puts a smile on my face! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this with us...you are the best!
I sure hope I get to come. I bought tickets yesterday morning and about an hour and a half later my company sent me to Texas. I sure hope I'm back in time.
HINT: Simple Green in your washer fluid does wonders for track slobber on windshields.
A feller hasn’t watched this yet but I already like it! Keep it up!! Love all the content!
Just made hotel reservations this week! Making the 8+ hour drive to see this craziness in person! Looking forward to a much needed mini vacation in Bristol!
The stereo microphone really reveals what it sounds like to be there in such a unique environment with those machines. Thanks Derek!
Love getting the surprise uploads! Makes the day at work go by a lot easier.
congratulations on the new show coming to Motor Trend
New show or just new season of the one he's already in?
@@MrWoodyBalto it's his own show coming out of Motor Trend rescuing old cars
I'll see you there. I just got my gear Monday in the mail.
Finally, proper perspective of the bank on the track. At 4:00 when the gopro tries to account for the bank gives a real world account of how steep it is. Everyone else has said it was steep, but this really puts it into perspective. Nice.
It's a DJI mini, better stability
*I'm counting on you to finish first.* This is your race. I wish I could be there in person but unfortunately I'm a severely disabled 52 year old Firefighter/EMT and I'm not able to drive myself that far. But I'll be watching on my phone.

Where are you from brother. I also am retired/disabled Firefighter/EMR. I live in Tennessee an hour from Bristol. I'm also Ex- Military. I'll be praying for you sir.
Retired FF/EMT-P as well.
Everything you and your family does is Awesome Work.
Cool always guys 👌 👍 😎
Love the behind the scenes content! Makes a feller very happy!
I’m gonna be there! Can’t wait
Those intakes were actually part of a huge recall. Did so many when I was a dealer tech. Lol
In joy have fun stay safe I will be watching you have fun God bless you and your family
Congrats on the Motortrend deal Derek!
This is the only social media I have, please explain what deal with Motortrend?
@@VMHP23 he posted on Instagram that he will be doing a car revival kind of show just like he does here but will not affect his youtube.
@@shanes_bs2659 Awesome!!!
A feller will be getting the ppv on account of i live on the west coast. But I’ll be rootin for ya!
Thank you Derek. Another amazing video. Those in-car shots of you going around the track are the best in-car views of Bristol that I have ever seen. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I love how the closed captioning said [MUSIC] when Cleetus was racing the truck around the outside bank of the track
Everybody needs to visit Bristol one time in their lives! I wish I didn’t live 10 hours away. I visit for at least one of the NASCAR weekends each year and the first time coming around the corner and seeing the track is amazing. Driving on the track is a whole different level of awesome! Can’t wait to watch this event, good luck!
Congratulations on your TV deal, you earned it. Can't wait to watch Roadworthy Rescues on MotorTrend TV Sept. 28th.
Thanks for the new upload, Derek! We appreciate all you do!

Exactly what I was thinking. I'm about 25 miles away from Bristol 🤔
Man, y'all going big-time now.. got yer own VGG helicopter.. 😲

The Vice Grip Garage "Whirly-Lifter"!
That belongs to Cleetus.

Awesome being in the car with you.. Thanks for the ride.
Fun stuff, Derek! The news is awesome. Happy Birthday, Jessica.
Love getting any extra content. Heh to the family from MamaCard in Florida.
Coming from Massachusetts! Cant wait to see you there!
Bristol also does a nice Christmas light show... I had a 94 Pontiac Sunbird and you have to go up the bank to exit... Needless to say I BARELY made it up
I honestly rather be watching these guys having fun on the track then watching NASCAR, which I haven't in years now !
100% agree.
Dereck your the best!! Don't change and keep up the great content!!!!
Congratulations on the new tv show with motor trend Derek and the track time is awesome
Another great video. Thank you for sharing God Bless 🙏
Those stadium trucks get some serious air off those jumps
Bristol has everything "CH47" Flys over lol great work thanks for taking us behind the scenes
My favourite of your videos, I love the way that Cleetus builds the whole YT thing by bringing you all together, I have the 1 year sub to PPV .
Probably the best footage yet from everyone's practice runs that shows you the true banking on Bristol. Good job Derek on your camera placement. Good luck feller.
Thank you
Can't wait till Bristol!
GOOSEBUMPS!! I love it!!! Did the Petty Ride-A-Long at Lowes Motor Speedway and Darlington. Wished I could have been the one behind the wheel. Love the speed though.
In the Tunnel, Derek's wearing heels!
That bank is gnarly!
Congrats on the motortrend show!!! So stoked!!
I'm glad you left the camera on the gimbal for your laps. It really shows the angle of the banks.
I can't wait to get their always wanted to go to Bristol. Now I can go and see some of my favorite youtebers!
Congrats on the tv show!
They do make an aluminum intake for the vic the plastic manifolds are well know for cracking warping and being just a pain regardless of how you treat them
The gimbal cam on the dash really shows how much bank there is!
