This was the surprise video many of us needed to make the week seem just a little shorter. Thanks Derek and team mom & kids! 💜

As much crap as people give you over the revival's. I am just as excited to watch you guys just go have fun. Why do all the work on the machines without going and enjoying them. Love it!

It amazes me how far your channel has come. I am so happy that I found VGG almost at the beginning. The best on You Tubes!!!

Hats off to the hardest working man in the sport! You crank out videos, revive rides, build projects, travel the U.S., raise an incredible family, meet and greet your fans at events and STILL have the most upbeat attitude and personality! You and your family are the best in the business! Just know at the end of the day, we (your true fans) are so thankful for the effort you put in!

Hey Derek. As a 61 year old fellow gearhead and father, I admire your work ethic and dedication to family. I love that you keep the kids and Jessica involved in what you're doing. Nothing is more important. Unlike so many douche bag KZfaqrs, you make us feel like friends, and I'd be happy to sit around on some shop stools sharing some wobble pops and swapping stories. I like ALL your videos and never miss one. Keep doing what you're doing brother. God bless.

I watched all the build videos for the burnout truck, and you did a great job Derek! Great 1st run!

My little brother turned me on to VGG a few years ago before he was taken by Covid. He was a hopeless gearhead like myself. Love the show. I'm 82 y.o. so my building days are behind me, I can still get the experiences watching you. God Bless you and your family. Keep on truckin'.

Living vicariously through these videos.

As a North Dakota boy you do us proud man keep it up

Had an awesome time at Cleetus and Cars!! It was a treat watching the truck run after following its build progress. Thank you for taking the time to meet your fans.

Looks like Derek has another awesome burnout rig! Thanks for the great content as always!

The exhausts blasting at the rear tires at an angle pushing some of the smoke out in combination with the open bed allowing for some smoke to pass through the baack of your rig made for a very cool looking show! Way to go!

Charlotte the burnout truck did awesome, excited to see the next run! The Liberty Chevelle is becoming a favorite of mine, such a gorgeous car and pulls hard! Revivals or working on a project, I'll watch it all, keep up the great work VGG!

Was able to see the event in person. Was a great event and you did a fantastic job!

We thoroughly enjoyed the event and had a good time talking with Jessica at the merch table. A guy seemed pretty busy and tired so we didn't want to bug you for a picture. Thanks for the good show and the great content!

Love the videos and all the coverage you give the events. I'm 67, got a youtube channel and I hope one of these days I can at least go to some of the events. It just looks so awesome.

I had so much fun last weekend! It was definitely the best cleetus and cars yet!

Nothing better than a VGG mid week update!

Love the passion, enthusiasm, just down to earth racing a feeling of unity and family. Thank you from Ontario Can.🔥

It was great seeing you and takin a picture with you again, Derek! I was at FF for the maiden burnout of independence, and i was in indy Saturday for the maiden burnout of Charlotte! I wish i could afford to go to every single event. It's an honor to support the cause, man. I love everything you do...and you couldn't be more right about being around like-minded people at these events. I had a lot of fun!

That BB sounded great during the burnout--strong and clean. Well done Derek et al and Dr.TuneEmAll.

good to see Bentley following in Derek's footsteps,what a terrific young man!

Omgoodness Derek,that truck sounded absolutely evil mean as soon as you fired it up. The Chevelle sounds like 1 powerful fun beast too.I absolutely love everything you &your family does,way to go Champ!Keep up your amazing journey 👏

WHAT A TREAT!!!! THANKS TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY (BEST CREW EVER) FOR ALWAYS TAKING US ALONG & WOW THAT LOOKS LIKE THE FUNNEST WAY TO SLAP ON SOME UNDERCOATING FOR A RIG & REPURPOSING AT THE SAME TIME 😍

An early VGG video to get me through my work day. Thank you Derek and family!! Best regards from Pittsburgh PA. ❤️

Thanks for the update. Great to see Charlotte get a great first rip. Gonna be a great truck . God bless you and yours

Hearing Charlotte startup at the beginning of Cletus and cars on Saturday was one of the highlights of my week! Absolutely blast seeing it after following the build!! Keep up the great work Derek!!

Great to see the support from the community. Congrats on finishing 6th!

This video really put a smile on my face I'm glad everything went well for Charlotte looks like you guys had a great time PERFECT

Truck did great for its first run. Great job on the build Derek ❤

Darek I'm so flippin' proud of you brother. The community you've managed to build and the amount of love and joy you bring everyone does much more good than you realize. Thank you for being such a loving, caring, stand-up guy who not only takes care of his own family, but the extended VGG family as well. I appreciate you and all you do and we look forward to you sharing more with us.

The VGG community is just as awesome as the man and his family that started it. You make people want to be better Derek. Thank you!!!

I've been a big supporter of the The Race Truck since the beginning and am tickled how well it did first time out. Myself being the 150lb orangutan that is often placed behind the controls I love a "keep it simple" design that works well. Looking forward to what you do for a truck skin and livery. Thank you and your family for what you do.

New burn out truck was impressive on it's first outing. You and Cleetus side by side was fun to watch, you ran another great race.

Derek, you NEVER, EVER fail to bring a smile to this fellers face, and I thank ya for that. You work so hard I'm not even sure you're human at times, and still one of the best family men I know. I hope to see you sometime in the future!

Thank You Derek and family! I am always waiting for the next VGG or VGL video! I see the genuine love your entire family has for being together in both the automotive and farming life! I get to live the life I always wanted through you and the fam so Thank You Very Much for all you do! It's so nice to watch the whole family and be a part in the videos! Promise one day soon the wife and I will head out of Utah and get over in your neck of the woods and catch a race or sneak by the booth where ever we can! Thanks Again for being Genuine Great Guy, beautiful Family and perfect role models for the Y Y Community!

cant wait to see ya next year at the Freedom Factory for the burn out comp.

That burnout rig is going to be something to really keep an eye on! Awesome build, been following it and appreciate the vids on how it all came together. Yes... even the dreaded electronics, but I actually love doing wiring jobs.

Derek, I’m glad you were treated to a wonderful Hoosier racing weekend. If you can ever work it into your schedule, take the family to the Indy 500. The pre-race pageantry in honor of Memorial Weekend always brings a tear and goosebumps during the playing of ‘Taps’, the history of over 100 years of American automotive ingenuity on display, & the racing competition itself is world class. We do racing right here in Indiana!

your love and enthusiasm is so contagious man! I loved this video and will most likely be watching it again. Awesome job!! this might be my favorite one yet.

VGG on a Thursday? Well I’ll be dipped! Let me grab a cold snack… thanks for everything you, Jessica, and your little humans do for us, Derek!

Fantastic showing Derek! That crowd was amazing! Appreciate ya takin us along! Can't wait for what's coming next!!

VGG awesome to see him in Indy and hopefully a great time to let the mullet down and have a good safe time.

I for one love all you do. Every video you put out is entertaining and believe it or not informative. A feller has learned alot watching you. Thank you for sharing ALL of this and don't change a thing.

I love that race truck, what a beast.

So awesome. Great job. Hopefully we’ll be at the next Bristol race again.

Great job Derek and the other drivers. 🎉🎉🎉

I finally got to attend a Cleetus & Cars event (Indy is only 15 mins from my home, so don’t know what took me so long)!! The wife and I had a blast. And it was a real privilege getting to meet you and see your work in person! We even made it into this video!! I might’ve fan-boy’d on you a bit… sorry about that! Lol😅

Nice to see that monster doing what she's been repurposed to do shredding tires. Thanks to you and your family. Please take care of that foot.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

It was so much fun watching you and Cleeter battling side by side. Great content as always Derek and family.

Derek needed those "specially staggered set" of tires so he could hold the high side... Love this channel!!! VGG since 2018!

A guy just bought a 73 Duster with a 360, w2 heads, TF 727 and 8 3/4 rear thanks to you! Thanks Derek for all the inspirational videos on youtube... You are a king of oldies but goldies For a Swede living in Sweden who gets to see all the dream cars I dreamed of as a child come to life is such a treat. Thank you Derek, from the bottom of my heart

Big thanks to you and your family for all you do.

Top effort and great performances. Hats off to a job well done!!

Love that it lifted tire on launch!

Good job, Derek! A well thought out burn out rig!👍👍👍👌👌👌

Great Video Derek! I am looking forward to meeting you and the family at one of these events. You are very approachable and the fans really appreciate it! God bless!

The burnout truck looks like it's doing awesome 👍 the Chevelle had impressive numbers too. Congratulations on finishing sixth, you did an awesome job and this is a really cool video 👍✌️🇺🇲

My husband, son, and I made it to day two, I don't think we have had that much fun in a long, long time. Crossing fingers this event is a yearly thing, it was a blast seeing all the cars, the races, and of course it was great to meet Dereck and Jessica. Loved it!!

Great video 2x👍 Cleetus sure knows how to put on an event and bring the car youtubers together.

Awesome video Derek, it's so good to see you having fun and all your cars working well, I'm sure it won't be long before you're bringing home a trophy or 2.

Looked like time well spent that weekend, keep it up and happy to see no major breakdowns or burns.

What a treat! A vgg befor Friday!!! Best thing going on KZfaq!

That truck sure does look great, really wonderful job planning it and fabricating what you needed.. it came together really well. Brake lines are probably the best failure for this type of event you could ask for.. really great Derek. Glad to see how nice she runs!

Very cool to see lots of cartube folks coming together, great content!

Cleetus sure knows how to throw down a event , as always thanks for sharing with us Derek . Cheers 🇨🇦

Looks as though Charlotte is going to be a top contender as one of the best tire shredders in the field!

Derek it was awesome to meet you. I know it’s hard on a guy to keep recording but we all appreciate it.

Hey! Great video! Thanks for keeping us in the loop with your travels/events. You & your family make it happen, Thank You All!

hopefully the datalog worked! always good seeing you at the events. get that bad boy dialed in and we'll see you in Bristol!

Super pumped to see this when I opened KZfaq on my lunch break. Thankful for everything VGG does. ❤

Congrats Derek! When you started on the truck I was like is he really going to pull this off! Amazing first run! Also any of you that are complaining about not having more revivals.....zip a lip!!! Derek has his priorities as he has talked about many times!

Idk why but a guy got a little emotional watching this thing rip wide open. This engine has been around for so long and you've worked so hard to get to a point you can even build this rig. Watching you get to let that girl absolutely rip was exactly what I needed today. Much love to you and your family. Keep working g towards your dream brother.

Derek you are the best , Thanks for another great episode, you and your family stay safe.

So heartwarming to hear all the cheers for Derek. While noise and smoke are not for everyone, it sure looks like fun.

I for one love that you do more than just revivals. They are great and what brought me to your channel but The builds and event videos are just as awesome. Please keep up the great work that you do.

No doubt we will all miss seeing Independence in the pit but I know you won’t put her out to die. Keep up the great content.

Your content and efforts are greatly appreciated here...Thanks Derek and family!

Sketchy circle track at that complex but it's a cool facility. So happy that you guys have reinvented true stock car racing. I grew up in the late 60's and 70's. I never thought I'd see that type of racing again. Good on you! You guys are killing it and I love it!

Best Thursday morning ever!

That looked like it was such a blast! Thank you Derek and your wonderful family for all you do for us retired recliner wrenchers, racers and enthusiasts. I really enjoy the variety of all of what you do. I sure hope that you leave something in the tank so you will be there for your beautiful bride and wonderful boys. Blessings all.

Watching this entire group of tubers and tuners through the short few years has been amazing. I pray you and your family stay blessed.

Derek, Hello to you & your wonderful family. I don't watch regular TV anymore since I started watching KZfaq, specifically your channel. I can see you put alot of effort into these quality video's. A Guy just want's to let you know how I appreciate what you do. THANK YOU!!!

Fantastic video, keep them coming! I love seeing a few finished cars, sprinkled in with the event footage and the drag em home videos. I commend you for your energy... hard to fathom how much work it takes to get all this done!

Another great episode of your channel. It is great to see your youngens so involved at your tent. They must think it's great to be handing out autographs, and meeting all your fans.

Awesome show Derek.. !!!!! what a treat . Thanks bud , love what you do for us 👍

A guy and his family continue to rock this guy's world in a good way. Race truck kicked butt. ❤🎉😮

Thank you for another great video. Loving everything you’ve been doing this year. Keep having fun and can’t wait for the next one!

I love watching you race brother. You are one of the big reasons a guy watches these events.

I can't wait to everyday I can wake up and just enjoy myself having fun at the track and building motors keep it coming man you a big motivation been watching and learning 👍

Fantastic first run on the burnout truck, hope you took notes on what needs to be done to get her better!

Derek, thanks for your great content and for working hard for your subscribers and fans. I appreciate all you do and no one works harder. You are a great role model not for just us, but for all husbands, dads, and men in general.

Amazing burnout run brother, truck is dialed in. I love to see all the fans showing to support you and the channel, because you are the man Derek!

A colab with you and brent from pfi would be awesome!Thank you for all your hard work you do. We all very much enjoy everything you do

That was a blast Derek...glad to finally meet the rest of the clan....love all the cars but my absolute favorite was the liberty Chevelle....

Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Much appreciated. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It's really cool that you and the family can make it out to so many events

Appreciate the huge efforts Derek! Hope the hoof is healing up, you looked like you were hurting after another exciting 800.

All of the work put in to get Charlotte ready, Liberty back running the eighth mile (love that car, Derek), and the video ends with a teaser that another revival is coming? When do you sleep, man? 😂 You are the best show on this or any network. I just re-upped my motor trend subscription just to watch your Roadworthy Rescues. Keep them coming in whatever format you want. 20 minutes; 2 hours...I don't care, I'll watch them all twice.

Great start to the day, morning coffee and a burnout video, Thanks @VGG for the entertainment.
