Seeing Jerry tear up before a race made my heart drop. Been in the same position when chasing my dream. Its alot of emotions and you cant hold it back. Really glad they kept that clip in

Seeing Jeremiah get emotional while achieving a life long dream got me right in the feels. Y'all are putting out some great content lately.

Watching Jerry tear up made me so proud, he’s accomplishing his dreams that may have been so far fetched as a kid. Huge props to Donut for supporting him and Jerry for never giving up.

Can we get a whole series of Jerry rising up the ranks? Need an underdog story so bad right now

Donut media crew should compete in the Nurburgring 24HR someday. They have teams of 3

The tears when Jeremiah realises he was actually living his dream were great! Gotta love that feeling man!

This could have been a 2 hour documentary or even a 7 episodes series. I would love to watch every detail of the whole journey!

Jeremiah doesn't strike me as the type to tear up easily, so when he did... that hit so deep in the feels. It's rare to see someone appreciate the gravity of reaching their goals like that.

By far my most favorite episode. To see someone actually doing something they only dreamed about and seeing that raw emotion. Love it.

Anyone else cried together with Jeremiah? That was pure emotions, that was beautiful!!!

I have to say, Donut has been on some top-level content as of late. All the guys never fail to entertain either. MoneyPit and Jeremiah's crazy adventures have gotten me in a chokehold.

Eye got watery once Jerry started tearing up. These guys are all amazing and have truly come a long way. Long Live Donut

14:40 I felt this in my soul. Full passion overload. Frightened, excited, fully aware of everything all at once. This was my favorite part.

Seeing Jeremiah get emotional hit me in my feels. He really lived out every boys dream. Thank you for bringing us laughs, entertainment and emotion Jeremiah! And congratulations on getting 5th place!!

Seeing him tear up made me tear up. Thanks for leaving that in. Takes a lot for men to show emotion and you guys putting him on display means more than probably you all knew. Happy for him and you guys!

Jeremiah's the realest. Out here showing us all the emotions going through him at that moment, mad respect Jere. I hope you get to do this again.

The raw emotion on Jerry's face got me. I'm happy for him he got to live his dream, and hope he keeps getting the chance.

I can't believe it! I'm actually getting teary-eyed while watching an episode of "Donut". Jeremiah, he's just incredible! I am bursting with pride for his achievement!

I've never followed professional peace drivers closely, but man I couldn't help my self but cheer For Jeremiah... dude I don't know if you'll read this but I am sure that a lot of us are not only proud of you for going out there and giving it your all, but also for showing us the little guys that we can achieve it if we persevere!. you rock dude I am happy you got to achieve one of your dreams!!!

I’ve seen Donut media grow so much, glad to be a member of an amazing media family. ❤

i NEVER thought id get teary eyed watching a donut video, and honestly so stoked for you to live out a dream like that! Your team and fans are proud of you dude!

watching Jeremiah in tears just before the race, reminds me of my first and only time in a racecar...those emotions just hit so hard, the moment you realize this really is a dream come true!

omg jerry crying made me so emotional, he’s such a smart guy when it comes to cars and the fact that this was his childhood dream, and he’s actually achieving his dream, LOVE THAT FOR HIM. MUCH LOVE FROM HOUSTON TEXAS JERRY ❤❤

I feel like I've been watching Donut since day one and seeing Jerry cry like that made me cry. I know exactly what he's feeling and it's so overwhelming. Amazing to see you live our your dream!

The cinematography is a whole talent of its own here. Amazing!

14:40 got so emotional out of nowhere I almost started crying 😢I’m happy for you that you got to achieve you’re life long dream, you earned it bud!! Soak it in!!

My heart absolutely melted when Jeremiah started to tear up. It’s such an awesome thing to have a chance to live out your lifelong dream.

Racing experiences are brutal if you don't piss money for a living. Asking to crew for a TC Racing crew was pretty illuminating for me as far as the costs and the logistics. The amount paid to have multiple days of your week including time taken away from work is rather low especially if they crash or break the car and you have to try to piece it back together. Even working the race doesn't make sense. The wheels and tires are expensive and if it's an endurance race you can go through 20k in tires. For the customer, they're paying for service, prep, transportation by the team, trackside support and changeouts, and typically their pro co-driver and they typically like to go first because if the pro has a mechanical failure or crash then they just wasted at least half of their spent money. At that point I realized that I would never be a racing driver so it was really cool to see Jer get the experience. It really gives you an appreciation for all the hard workers and volunteers of more grassroots level orgs.

When I saw Jer's name on the board that weekend, I knew this episode was coming. Well done for your first race! Keep the dream alive!

I love how the boys do "better than TV" content as it was nothing 😎

Watching jerry tear up before racing just made me rethink my entire life I came from a racing background raced jr dragsters all my childhood and taking that for granted and seeing a guy like him chase and conquer his dreams is just amazing I loved watching that man congratulations on living out your dream!

Man, Jeremiah living a lifelong dream I have had since the days of Gran Turismo 1. I will say, those feeling and emotions he had in the car, right before his race, are absolutely real. I remember when I did my first race day on my motorcycle. The amount of pressure, anxiety, fear..everything just comes at you all at once. It's honestly sooo nerve racking, I have seen people forfeit and not get on the grid because of the pressure. I am genuinely proud that Jeremiah pushed through and still competed. When I did my first race day, I got last place in all of my heats. But ya know what, I walked away with my motorcycle looking shiny and in 1 piece, and with a huge grin on my face, knowing that the experience further solidified my passion.

14:42 made me tear up man, great work!

Thank you so much to everyone at Donut proving that this dream we all share is a reality. I'm incredibly inspired!

Really glad they kept that clip in of Jerry, and assuming he was also okay with it. Life long dream, probably so much emotion kicked at the same time. So happy seeing the people that make you happy, happy. ❤

Dude, this was genuinely moving. Great job, JB!

Not gonna lie seeing J getting emotional got to me a bit. So happy he did it and 5th on his first event is not bad at all. Very proud of you.

Hell yeah Jerry! So glad they kept the part in the video when it's just him in the car before the race. Such pure emotion and it's great to highlight the feeling of someone achieving their dreams!

I feel the tears man… that’s what makes donut so original cuz you could put a million feelings into a car but once it’s something like a life long dream it just seems surreal. I felt that down to my core man…love all of donut

14:51 this moment became my favorite one in donut’s videos. This just shows that they are like us and makes them even more relatable

This needs to be a series with a video every race weekend Jeremiah does

this is definitely one of the best Donut videos i’ve ever seen, watching Jerry tear up before the race was heartwarming and it was incredible to see him make one of his childhood dreams a reality

Jeremiah did incredibly well. He was competitive all the way up until the final laps, and even then he didn't wreck the car. For a first time race driver, that was a performance that any team would have been happy with.

Wow hands down best donut video i ever watched . Wish it was a little longer actually. But this is the first KZfaq video that Made me shed a tear for another grown man’s happiness. God for you man, shows you really love what you do. Good luck on future races!

I remember back when Jeremiah for came to Donut. I didn't know how to feel about him and probably busted his chops a bit in the comments of his first few videos, but he definietly won me over. To see him living his dreams and still hittin' with those premo jokes, it chokes ya up a bit. Love ya, Jeremiah. Can't wait to see you on the podium!

Seeing J cry was something else. This guy is so passionate about what he’s doing. I fucking love it❤

14:45 real car, real race, feel ya dude, and jealous as hell. Go do it!

I love how much donut host cry. It’s beautiful to see men so in touch with their emotions and living out their dreams I love you guys

Every now and then, Donut just released an absolute masterpiece of a video. Most of which can tend to make you cry. This was one of them. This is probably Donuts best video in a long time, maybe even ever. I feel like a collab between Donut and Gears & Gasoline would do very well

This is awesome! So glad you're getting to live your dream -- and the dream of so many viewers watching your channel. The racing world is incredibly competitive, I think I'll just stick to casual track days and Assetto Corsa after this video 💀

Watching jer get emotional brought tears to my eyes. So happy for you achieving your dream man!

Hands down, this is my favourite Donut Media video so far! I’ve loved every minute and felt inspired at every step of the way! Well done 🎉

Best episode yet. Just wanted to let you guys know that I recognize how much work went into making this video. I wonder how many people even noticed the sound design and music subtleties throughout the episode

Seeing Jeremiah go full emotional before his debut race... Man... this just hits hard. Donut has learned us several times that, no matter how hard things could go... *_just never give up..._*

Jerry, something to be proud of. Getting to race like that is so awesome and emotional. Thanks for taking us on the journey.

I love that he was so passionate and you could see it because he cared so much. Every man deserves to have that feeling.

It's been a while since I got so invested in a Donut video, I'm really proud of you Jer.

This is a funny channel full of joy and lighthearted humour, but I love it that the editing team leaves these moments where Jeremiah or James get emotional and start crying. They keep the editing to a minimum in scenes like those and they allow us the audience (the fans) to see these real humans doing something they love. Kudos to you guys, whoever team edited this video.

Yo, that part where you just sat and teared up a little was really wholesome. I appreciate it.

You made a lot of engineers tear up with this video. It’s a reminder that our passions are like gardens in that they improve with care, effort, and patience. If engineering is the soil, our dreams are what we plant there. Great stuff❤

14:40 made me tear up man damn. You’re one of the most chill and humble dudes ever and I’m happy you got to experience your dream!

I'm glad that he didn't gloss over the costs of getting started and going racing. Once you've got your license and gear, even "the most affordable" type of wheel-to-wheel racing an amateur could do ("arrive and drive" Spec Miata racing) costs about $5000 total for a weekend. This would include 1 day of practice and 2 days of racing twice per day (double dipping, racing two different categories in the same car). Races are generally 20-40 minutes, often 30 minutes long, plus you get one practice session per race category, and a qualifying race. At the end of the weekend, you have about 4-5 hours of seat time if someone doesn't run into your rental car leaving it disabled and you with a big bill. Oh, and don't get me started with sim training...that's another cost to consider.

I wanted to jump in there & give you big ol' hug, Jeremiah! 💜 Having been sick for 3 years makes me think about all the stuff I'm missing out on... Hopefully i can do the Orlando track one day 😊 I'm REALLY glad you are able to achieve a dream you've always had. I hope you get to do tons more & I can live vicariously through you lol Keep at it!!! 💜💜💜

So much heart and soul went into this. what an absolute masterpiece of an episode

Would love to see this in a longer format/series

Never thought tears would be associated with me and a Donut video. Freakin' love Jerry and the production team even more for including that!

I didn’t watch this video for a long time, I usually check most of donuts videos. But now I’ve Seen it, it was one of the best things you’ve put up like ever. I am really happy for you Jer, it was inspiring, emotional, real! Loved it!

Strangely emotional episode, but too be honest, loved every minute of it. Jerry brings the heat in this one!

Dying laughing when he pours milk before the cereal😂

Jeremiah tearing up living out most men like myself childhood dreams was heartfelt. Ive always wanted to race cars for a living.

This was beautiful! Congrats to Jeremiah and everyone who made this happen.

15:00 man that shit hit hard... I felt that in my soul. Years ago I built my own car. A 96 civic si (we had those in canada) with an acura EL front clip. I bought as a bare shell from a junkyard. Over 2 years I spent $13k on mostly used parts except the drivetrain I built myself while in college for automotive. Literally built in my dad's backyard with hand tools. Not even an engine hoist. I jacked up the front, drug the drivetrain underneath, and lifted it into place standing on the shock towers with a strap over my shoulders. The only help I had the whole time was dad sticking the motor mounts in while I held the 350lb drivetrain on my shoulders. Fully built b18a1, high compression, gsr trans with ls 5th, lsd, stage 3 clutch etc My first time down the strip, I was having that same rush Jerry did, tears, everything. Dreamed of drag racing since I was a kid. 13.6 quarter my first pass with a perfect .500 light. Cried my eyes out like a little kid. Ended up selling the car for next to nothing right before my oldest son was born 8.5 yrs ago. I'll never forget that car or that moment as long as I live. I'll build another with my two boys someday. Good job Jeremiah, so proud of you man.

I felt it in my heart when you cried. I am so happy for you man! Looking forward for more of these kinds of videos, different from the rest. Thanks donut team!

Now every donut host has made me cry, wtf. That moment is huge, and im so glad I got to witness it.

Its been said but it simply can not be overstated how beautiful it was to see the reality set in that Jeremiah was about to live out a childhood dream. We should all aspire to have that moment at least once in our lives.

This is such an amazing opportunity for Jeremiah! Congrats bro

I was there at COTA during the GT Challenge and got to see you race Jeremiah. For your first time you did great. I wouldn’t even know what to do. I also even got a picture and autograph from you so thank you for that!

Its awesome to see how much other people care about cars as well and how we can relate to each other. Seeing Jeremiah getting emotional was almost as if me or a really close friend achivied a dream you know? You guys are the fucking best. Best video Ive ever watched by Donut.

This was so vulnerable and touching. Better than any sports drama I’ve seen

This one hit me right in the feels, almost teared at the end of the first race. Great job Donut, and amazing job, Jerry. this episode was a blast❤️

14:36 I felt that moment so hard. Working for so many years and finally have my own brick and mortar store (3 years now). Nothing like having a dream come true! Donut is simply the best

This is sooo good. Seeing Jeremiah tear up, DNF and then get 5th. Team Rick Barber's enthusiasm and excitement fueled that episode as much as Jeremiah's own journey. Great video. Inspired!

Didn’t think I’d tear up for another Donut video but here I am.. crying like a baby for Jerbear.. congrats buddy!

Those tears were real as real gets. So awesome to see someone achieve their dreams. Congrats Jerry!

a longer format for this kind of content would be awesome

This is such a beautiful episode, like a perfect hero's journey. Thanks Jerry!

Proud of you Jerry keep it up man. Seeing Jerry tear up before living every car guy's dream really made my heart melt he's surely one of the best at Donut 💗

Watching Jerry tear up was the single most moving thing I’ve seen this year. Great job, man 🤘❤️

I'm so happy for Jerry you could feel how much that ment to him to be able to even try to compete in a race. Found my self cheering for him out loud on my lunch break good job.

Good for you Jeremiah, nice to live out your dreams. I gotta say though, I was very surprised you never drove a racetrack in the rain. Watching you donut guys, I'd expect you tried all of those "simple accessible things", though apparently not. Book a trip to Germany, go drive on the autobahn and experience 150+mph speeds, visit the Nurburgring, and visit other racetracks. You'll love it. Then go and drive a professional race again. You guys are awesome.

Jerry has a blessing for DM love his passion and the quality of things he gets going on the channel

Damn, dude. I got emotional too watching him get like that in the car before the race started. That was really cool to see because it felt super real/raw. We're all proud of you, dude! I hope that was an amazing experience for you. And who knows, maybe something will come out of it in the future.

the “life long dream baby let’s got” had me cry for you congrats man!!

Man, I still consider that a good day. You were doing well and you learned a ton. Super happy for you to be able to get out there and fulfill your dream.

honestly, no matter how many weeks have passed, i still wanna watch this clip yet again this is my 4th already. jerry goes to the legit race and fulfills his life long dream somehow relates to numerous gear-head that are unable to try what he's able to

Man, seeing Jerry make his dream come true like this is awesome. Credit is due also to the Donut Media crew supporting him and each other all the way!

I totally felt all the emotions going through Jeremiah at 14:30. Not many people get to achieve their lifelong dream.

I can't believe I let some tears drop from a Donut media video. Kudos to Jeremiah for stepping up to the plate and facing the challenge.

When hes alone with himself in the car before the race, thats why I love racing. It's why i love autocrossing, karting, etc. Putting on the helmet and getting in the seat, for me, its the best feeling. Its so cathartic. Its my happy place.

I cried with you man. My heart swelled with excitement for you, it’s an incredible feeling to achieve your dream. I hope to see more of you on the track.
