I'm always waiting for the day that Derek gets one of the better cars (though I wish in general they were able to keep them all more equal). Pretty sure if he ever gets a car that is at least remotely close to as good as the ones in front of 'em he's going to win it. He's a really good driver.

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.

FINALLY a feller gets raced fairly clean. Tickled for Zach, he earned it. A feller wheeled that Vic like a boss, just needed a few more ponies.. Stupid happy for you. You did everything you coulda done and got to race some drag racer named Smoke. Hell of a job. Not gonna lie. Was hoping to hear a lil fellette from TN name when Cleeter was reading off the mom’s race list .. I was ready to call it and say she fixin to lay the smack down.

Daaaaamn getting mighty close to that 2 million mark

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!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I nearly choked to death over that "We don't" graphic. Thanks for the neat death experience. 🤣

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

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

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

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!

Great race! Moses Sandals that's outstanding!

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

Happy Friday, Derek! Thanks

Fun’s important 👍

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

That was a great race glad to see that you came in second place. Hav watched a lot ov the crown vic races and love the way you race cleanly with the other drivers. Keep up the great work and content.

Helping a small creator try to get her start is such a Derrek move. 2 million isn't enough for this man.

Almost 2 million, I can't believe it, but I guess I got to, I'm lookin right at it @ViceGripGarage!!!

This was much better than NASCAR

Love it all!

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

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

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

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.

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

Nice racing there fella!

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
