man this is hard to watch. i know you guys will build the next one even better, though.

While I agree with Murder nova, "It's not just a car, it's a part of you". It was designed to protect you and you standing, is testament to your design and the Cars strength in that design

The fact the car did it’s job when you crashed and kept you safe shows you guys did a hell of a job building it👍If it’s built by Lutz it’s always top notch stuff.

Parking that car outside the shop is a great idea. People who are getting work done can see the true level of work that you put out.

As painful as it must be to share this with us, thank you for taking the time to do so. It's interesting to see how your cage held up through such a violent crash. Many years ago we had a desert racer flip and experienced a partial cage collapse. Luckily the driver only had a concussion, but the cage was on the verge of complete collapse. Designs and rules have come a long way in improving safety. Every crash is a learning opportunity. Be safe and go fast!

Damn bro all that clay is still all over it I'm glad you are a hell of a car builder glad to see you made it.

Wholly Smokes!! Ur' a very lucky man.. Interesting how well you were protected. Keep up the Great Work. You have excellent skills when you can build like this, crash like this and are eager to get right back after it!! Best to you guys.

Chassis did it's job, your here to talk about it. God Bless you. Great to see you continue.

First, thankful you walked away. 2nd, love the plan to respectfully keep the car and give it a place of honor. That car is a warrior, and it deserves to be treated as such.

Just glad you were ok Jeff!! That was an insane accident!! Sorry to see the 7 down but glad you guys can keep smiling and racing. Wish you the best , bud!

I am so happy that you came out of this safe, you definitely know how to build them safe. Much love and respect ✌️

Us ole boys that get second chances can wad em up walk away with grace to race another day Jeff is a lucky but proactive builder and that is a 3rd Go in the GTO. God bless you sir and glad your workmanship is proven again. Safety first was your talent and a solution.. SSL.

Glad you are ok and have a positive outlook!! I am sure it is a emotional rollercoaster for you and the family!! Stay strong 💪🇺🇸

Wow the amount of carnage done to that car is absolutely mind boggling!!! The great thing to see was just like when Chief crashed the OG Crow the drivers compartment was completely intact. You guys definitely built a great car and it did it’s job really well but holy hell is that thing destroyed. I can’t wait to see the new car when it’s finished and I hope that it happens quickly and goes smoothly for you guys. Thanks for the update.

Glad you didn't get hurt and are still around for to watch you race Jeff ,i love the 57 that is one of the best looking car's that has ever been made

Glad you were ok Jeff m. Excited to see the new build

Jeff you did an amazing job with that cage your craftsmanship saved your life most definitely,those who take shortcuts end up lost or dead,glad your ok and gonna make another masterpiece

Much respect to the professional work done by hand welding that frame up! If only I could watch you build the next one in person, man Id learn a few things ! Much respect from a fellow welder all the way in Australia!

That is hard to believe that the cage held up that good. I have been a fan of your racing since the first time I seen you. Thank God you walked away I hope that those that you have helped will help you get back on the racing trail. GO get them. 🤙

Loved that car ! I know you will build it back even better ! Awesome fabrication job

OH Man! That car was so beautiful not too long ago. So sad! Glad you are OK!

Glad you came out ok. Was one of my favourite cars hands down and very sad to see it like this

Thanks for sharing the video. It’s very impressive to how well it stayed together.

Damn Jeff. You built a great chassis and im glad your safe. Keep up the Great work you two.

I'm just glad you're ok. That was my favorite car of yours and the fact it protected you, is simply amazing.

Good to see your build was satisfactory. A great selling point the next time one is looking for a safe car. I love the tri-5's , grew up around them.

Shows how well and tough you built your car to go through all of that and you can still be okay, look forward to the next build that you do and more videos, main thing is your still here

Jeff I told you I'm Darlington. I cried too about the 57. In this video you really showed the awesome work you do. Your cars are flawless perfect a piece of art on the outside. You really showed was in the inside an awesome awesome car. You are the man. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Lutz. May God continue to keep you in his hands!

Wow, sad to see the 57 like that. But the fact that you're still here, walking around it, showing us what happened, is a testament to the car build and your outstanding commitment to safety. My shop builds cages professionally. It's heartbreaking to witness the devastation of a bad build when you know it could have been done better. So glad that you're still here to talk about it.

I'm just elated that you walked away Mr. Lutz. With that type of wreck, it's amazing it still has a heartbeat (engine). The cage is usually (if not always) the 1st thing to get configured & assembled, then never thought of again. Outstanding work Mr. Lutz.

As a testament to you and your sons fab skills she did what she was supposed to . She made sure you lived to race another day

I loved that Tangerine Orange 57 !! Such a shame to see it in such a mess. Glad you came out unscathed, the car did it’s job to keep you in one piece.

Jeff you are the reason that I’m in to cars, I got given a video of you at drag week when you were racing one of the evil twins! Hard to watch it in that state, you will come back faster I know that

Thats such a same to see your car like that but its good to see that you can still look at it . It gives you an insight as to how much these cars can handle in a crash the build quality is second to none seeing that most of the structural components are still in good shape. Wish you all the best for building another one

You can tell that the workmanship and cage of this car are second to none. This car saved you Mr Lutz! Good luck Jeff and team i cany wait to see the new car!

The car is Heartbreaking! But Thank God you're ok!! That was such a beautiful car , always been my favorite! Thanks!!

I didn't think you were going to make it past this without paralysation. Congratulations. The safety installations are, without doubt, impressive and necessary. The '57 will be missed, but the GTO is great to see, too. Glad you made out OK.

God Bless you Jeff for making it out of that car without getting hurt. I'm so glad that you built that roll cage to withstand that kind of accident. Sorry to hear about your car, but I'm glad you're doing good. God Bless you always. 💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏

You built a hell of a chassis man, thanks for the video and keep them coming

Jeff watched the crash last night i am so glad that you are ok... yall are doing an amazing job. Have been watching the no prep and street and you really have your shit together. Just wanted to say thanks for all yalls had work and devotion.

Ya can’t ask anymore from her!!!❤️🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥💪🏼👍🏻

It is amazing you as well as other drivers walked away from some of those crashes. Even with all the protection it's hard to believe that the human body can come out of something so violent.

you guy are one of my faves from og street outlaws class act godspeed

Just glad you're alright, you've always been one of my favorites on the show. 🍻

I had a 57 back in the day and absolutely loved yours. Very sad watching it barrel role but knowing it was you and your team who put it together I was not too worried about your outcome as I know it was built properly with no shortcuts or poor workmanship. Have seen your new 57, would love to see the canary yellow go back on it. Your my number 1 team and love seeing you move up lists no matter street or strip. Take care and best of luck going forward.

Sorry about your car jeff. Glad your ok. I have an 87 Chevy truck I love in like a family member 😂every time I run it this could happen .it would absolutely break my hart. I have built it from the ground up as a daily /hot rod when it time for that. Me and with my best friend have put hours upon hours in it . I have a lot of hard work and hard lessons learned rolling on those four wheels. It hurt me watching your car get destroyed so I now after your physical wounds heeled it still hurts to loose a piece of history yes. But it also feels like your distorting all that hard work and memories with those you love. It’s not the steel and aluminum that gets wrecked. But everything else you put in it. But really to me anyway what really matters can not bend or break or be tore apart. As long as you made it out ok. Then so did all that hard work, accomplishments, And time you your family and friends put in that beautiful car. That will always be with you. I’m a big fan Jeff. You do amazing things and your humble about all of it. Good luck with your next one brother I’m sure it will be just as bad a$$

God was looking after you Jeff !!! I am so glad you are ok.

At the end of day jeff your still able to draw a breath of air your a legend to the sport your in & im glad your ok sincere good wishes for & your family & crew in the future keep safe on & of the track people

Dang man, glad your all good!!! But boys, you guys build one hell of a car!!! Good luck with the new one can't wait to see you with another !!!

I don't know how you do it Jeff and I'm glad your un hurt in the crash and yes your car saved you and did it's job, All the best with the new build no doubt it will be a stunner.

That 57 is a Legend and Jeff Lutz and his program is top notch pure class. 👌 Glad ur safe buddy that was a crazy wreck.

Oh man, that's a mess, but as you said it saved your life. Good luck with the build and cant wait to see the new one.

WOW, that was my favorite car from the show...sad to see it like that, but it was well built and saved his life 👏👍

I am soooo happy that you are safe! Keep it that way good Sir.

wow its hard to believe me and my son were at bowling green ky when jeff ran this at the danchucks for the first time we visited the pit and got shirts and he even signed them for us now the car has seen its last race. but as he said its a part of history. glad jeff is okay thats the main thing look forward to the next chapter whatever it may be.

The car is the best advert you could have for chassis building. It did exactly what it was built to do. Go straight,and when the time comes (and it will due to things outside of the chassis control) it keeps the driver safe to drive another day👍

I can't wait to see the next one. Give thanks to the quality fab work.

Thank GOD you’re ok man! We love you brother thank you for sharing😎.

Sad to see the 57 in that state, but Jeff saved his own life with the build quality and craftsmanship that went into the car. Well done Jeff God loves ya 👍👍👍

I so glad that you have survived this crash. I’m so sorry that you lost this car.

Man thats amazing you walked away from that. The force of impact and energy absorbed, just wow.

She gave her life to protect yours. I'm so thankful you're ok.

My wife and I are a big fan of you mr. Jeff Lutz, we are big-time drag racing fans and hopefully we'll be at the gatornationals, my wife is from the Pittsburgh area, and hope to see you there this summer

Looks like you have the makings of a Pennsylvania Farm Truck sitting back there. The world needs TWO orange Farm Trucks going down the track. On a serious note, Glad to see your engineering and chassis fab skills pay off. Nice to know you can trust what you build.

So sad to see such a iconic car in the mess its in. I know you will probably will build another one but its not going to be the same. Much respect to you for getting back in a car and looking forward to seeing you kick ass on the list with the GTO

God bless you Jeff extremely happy to see you doing ok

Love you guys and Thank God you are alive and well Jeff.

I'm glad your ok. That car was always one of my favorites.

That hurts my heart. That is one of my favorite cars. First car I ever owned was a 57.

Man! I’m so happy you started making vids again! You’re my favorite racer Because you aren’t just some rich guy, you can do it all! That’s bad ass!

That is nasty... Jeff, glad the car did its job and protected you. You and 57's are a perfect match. I have followed you since the twin black 57's. It's just not the same seeing you in the other car so I am glad you plan on rebuilding again... Glad you got out of this in one piece!

I'm glad your skills on building cars or so good cuz man that was a terrible accident and I'm so glad you're okay all the best to you and your family Rob from Vancouver Canada

I'm glad your alright man! That's one hell of a wreck!

Cant wait too see you back at it, your the man jeff God bless you sir❤

Glad you’re still with the living Jeff keep building as much safety in your car as you possibly can… I’m a fan brother…

Glad your ok. Looking forward to seeing the next one.

Thank God you are alive! The car will be sorely missed but you are irreplaceable!

Just a testament to your mad welding skills. Cause unlike most these guys I know you do all your work. Beautiful skill brother!! Glad your ok!!

Hey Jeff that's the badass car on 405. So glad your doing good 👍.

Man, It breaks my heart every time you tear that car up. That's always been the best looking outlaw car I've seen.... I know you can DRIVE, but come on man you're killing me. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Keep on going never give up you one of the best out there God bless

Hard to watch but thankfully the car did it's job which speaks volumes for the quality of cars you build. Looking forward to watching the new build progress.

Super man thank you for your service sir 🙏

At the end of day it is good that u walked away from the crash to live another day. As u know the car can be replaced u can’t. God bless.

Wow that was one well made cage. Amazing.

Man, that's a whole pile of '57 sauce. Glad to see you walked away. Looking forward to supporting you at the Va. NPK event in 2 weeks, I'll stop by the trailer and buy a shirt

As sad as it is to see. You truly built a amazing car and I know that the next one will be better

Thankfully you are o.k and I know you will build it better and faster. Stay safe and may God be with you.

That was a slick Chevrolet,one of my favorite car on the show glad your ok.

Virtual hug from here glad you walked out unharmed. No ‘ no ‘ it can’t be fixed .

Dam glad that you're okay Jeff!

Seeing the 57 like this almost brings tears to my eyes. But I know for a fact that Senior and Junior are gonna build her back 1000 times better! Can't wait to see her put back together! #LRC

Thank god you are ok brother! You are a legend!

Awesome to see y’all upload man I was just looking last week like I know it’s coming just waiting lol😂

Thought this was the last time Lutz lol, glad you're ok. One of the baddest racers on the planet.

so sorry to your car like this but at least your ok, although this car is an icon i'm looking forward to seeing more from the GTO. I have a yellow 05 and never see anyone doing much with them until you rolled yours out and started kicking ass with it. The 57 is going to be missed but were all happy that your ok and pushing forward

Hoo lee shat.... To see the wreck on TV and then get a close look at the carnage.... good work on that cage my man. Cant wait to see what's next on the build list.

Watched the show last night. That was a bad one and I'm soooo happy your are okay. Jeff, your one of my favorite racer on the show. Always followed you when you you started on the show.

Glad you’re ok Jeff. It was good to see you at Maple Grove last month.
