Truck wasn't even done sliding and you had the thought to kill the engine, mad respect

Can't imagine how his sons felt seeing their Dad get back out there after the crash. Seeing your Dad never give up is a inspiration. Could be better than winning.

The absolute speed a guy had with shutting the engine off is amzing. truly a racecar driver here. glad your okay!

Derek-from my view-you handled it like a professional-no yelling or cursing at the 22 truck-just one of those racing incidents. I am glad no one got hurt other than the truck. We can replace the truck-can’t replace you. Love what you do and keep up the great content. Daniel.

Bottom line, your a class act! No bitching or complaining, here for the beer, have a good time kinda guy! Much respect!

Derek, as difficult as this was, it showed you at your very best: your excellent driving, your calm immediately after the accident, the ability to maintain a professional demeanor throughout, not blaming anyone(never once did you point the finger at your "assailant" ). Talk is cheap, this was action, well done, sir.

As goofy as all the events are at Cleetus' house, that safety crew is legit.

Glad it gently rolled instead of flipping about 10 times. Most of all, glad you walked from this one. Class act not giving up. You're teaching your boys how to never give up.

In the true words of a racer "i came to race and thats what im gonna do". Hell yeah derek. Glad your ayy okey!

Turning the ignition off while in mid roll was quite impressive, that was some quick thinking… obviously not your first rodeo! Only thing going through my head would of been oh crap oh crap oh crap!

She'll buff out just fine. 🤣 The crowd cheering for Derek as soon as he gophered out of the truck just goes to show you how much people appreciate and care about him. He and is family are damn good people!

Gotta love the guy that cut out a convo so you could get a perfect shot of them rangers, good guy that one

When "flipped" a Ranger doesn't mean sold it for profit shortly after buying...dang it

“Did i accidentally buy the perfect truck for this race?! That means ill be out on the 3rd lap.” Its like a guy can see the future.

"No, no way!" I was shoutin and stompin when you took her back out there and finished. WTG Derek!

You can tell he was pretty upset. He cares about his projects and I just hope it goes better for him in the next race.

The fans cheering when Derek crawls out, you're loved brother. Glad you walked away.

I get a little teary-eyed thinking of how proud your boys have to be seeing their dad out there on the track. Every kids first super hero is their mom or dad. Some always are.

I would say you were the "overall" winner. Also you can't win em by yourself, so a big shout out to your pit crew. Great effort guys and gal. 🦅🇺🇲🦅

Much respect for getting back on the track. Glad you didn't get hurt. Having fun is why you went👍

Dude that won is the guy that put you out. You will see him again !!!!!!! Not that a guy would pit maneuver someone at Lemullet !!!!! Glad your ok Derrick we were freaking out at home

It's funny how Derek is one of the best drivers in these events but he always gets wrecked by his competitors

Amazing to see all the aspects of safety equipment functioning perfectly. Track goes red and everybody stops. Driver wrecks and remains calm. Roll cage and harness worked flawlessly. Emergency responders were on point. This is a perfect example of why everyone messing around behind the wheel should have proper safety equipment.

5 minutes after setting the truck upright,Derek was doing the old VGG routine “let’s see if she starts.”

"There's gonna be a caution in the first five laps." "I don't wanna wreck this truck to be honest." Turns out a guy can see the all the futures.

A guy heard somewhere that 22 may have got run into after the race. Makes a guy all warm and fuzzy knowing this.

That looks like the most fun a guy could have and still keep his cloths on!

I must admit, I teared up a little when she got damaged. She was a beauty. Hopefully you can save her.

"I don't know what number it was yet" Implied: "But I'm sure as hell gonna find out"

Sorry that happened Derek, but in true Derek fashion you didn't throw a fit. You dusted off and went back out and raced with a smile on your face. I admire you for that.

Derek you’re the best. You make a guy want to join in man hugs with you. God bless you and your’s! You provide the best entertainment a guy can get these days at any price. The fact that you include your lady and the little ones in this entertainment makes it all the more better. Since my babies were little ( they’re 25 & 27 now ) I included them in everything I did, much like you do. They’ve been with me on many car purchases. Silly me never thought to video it. Again, nothing but love, you bring a smile to an old guy’s face! I love it when you restart it and your says “ it’s smoking”, again ain’t nothing better than including the little ones in everything we do. Brings a tear to an old dad’s eye

i got the PPV to see you win and to support Cleeter’s efforts. i was sad to see you “knocked” out so early but your return after the mandatory pit break was epic!

I watched this PPV with the express purpose of seeing Derek race. I was yelling "NO NO NO NO!" so loud all the dogs in the neighborhood started barking. Glad you're ok man.

As a multiple ranger owner, there's just something right in rolling her over horrendously bad at the beginning, then starting her up and running with the leaders at the end. That's the epitomy of a ford ranger.

That was dirty...I'm glad you weren't hurt seriously. Rubbin' is racin' - knocking someone over isn't.

I'm not gonna lie; had a tear in my eye when I saw you go over, but I was sure glad to see you get out safe and sound. As they say, rubbin' is racin'. No use getting upset. You played it just right. Congrats!

Flipped his truck, and still went back and did some racing! True legend!!

SO GLAD YOURE OKAY! Sheesh a guy was worried... should've bought the PPV. DANGIT!

You and Jackstand had the 2 most badass moments of that race both put the shiney side down and both went back into the race

I feel like you got screwed, safety first, especially in this sort of race, but at least you weren't injured and got back in it, much respect!

Man I seen it in person. That was tough to watch. I yelled at you as you were driving in too. I said “Derrick you got this brother” with a thumbs up. You returned the thumbs up. Then flipped 3rd round. Glad you’re good.

On the plus side your reaction time to kill the engine and unharness was on point

Can’t have anything nice.😟Glad you’re safe. Can’t imagine how your family felt watching the flip. Thanks for putting on the show!

PS: You have the best pit crew. Those boys of yours are right on the spot and you're training them well.. Fun to watch them jump right in to what the situation needs.. Awesome.

I would have been apocalyptically mad at Kameron for that pit on you. You're an absolute class act man, the way you conduct yourself is inspiring.

an “ i’ll be dipped ” as you rolled would of been epic 🤣

Holy Cow Derek if this vid don't push you over 1 MILL I don't know what will , keep up the great work!!!

Love watching Derek having the time of his life.

I wish I could like this one twice!! My heart gave a joyous leap when Derek said "I'm going back out, I came to race!" That is what being American is about!!! Giving it your all no matter where the chips fall!!! USA, Baby!!! 💪🗽🗽🗽🗽

It ticks me off more for someone I like, to get screwed over, more than when it happens to myself. You handled it like a pro though. I'm proud of ya big guy..

"Well that didn't go as planned" 😂 classic!

I can't conceive how you finished after that wreck! Frickin' Amazing! Congratulations on third place!

Hearing how VGG talked about the damage to the truck....every gear head felt that emotion. Sorry to see this happen.

I like what Jeff Gordon once said after being taken out by Robby Gordon early in a race: "It was my fault. I should have qualified better so I wouldn't have been at the back racing him."

That’s racing Derek. Good job not quitting and getting back out there! Setting a good example

Glad your okay Derek that was one heck of a Pit Maneuver that guy did on you.. truck little banged up but glad you and the truck are both Okay @ViceGripGarage

Derek is a national treasure that was almost like watching the Statue of Liberty fall over I almost cried glad he was ok

It was awesome to watch you race. You were putting in some work with a broken truck in the second half. Your fans appreciate you sticking around to meet them after a race. It meant a lot. We’ll see you at Le Mullets!

lol, Derek you're my idea of a Harry Gant of what you do. always in the top 30 % and not in there for the glory but just for the fun. Thanks to the entire family for all the hard work you do bringing it all for us old timers to watch. thank you. west coast fan and old motorhead backyard mechanic.

Glad you were okay, What A Guy! GETTING Back out there and Finishing. Tire Side Down, Tire Side Down !!! You Da Man.. the Guy rather. Great showing for the crowd, must of been Awesome To be in attendance. Be well ✌🏼

I hope No22 got a good talking too. No need for that at all. But as ever you soldiered on, maximum respect. 👌🏻

I actually stood up when you rolled! But was so stoked to see you come back out and finish the race. Heres to keeping the rubber side down next time

A guy literally jumped and yelled NOOOOO when you flipped. That little truck was loyal as hell to keep pushing. She deserves some love after that roll

I was hoping for some AJ Foyt fighting when you crawled out! Great attitude after getting bushwacked like that. Derek is a class act. Sad for the Ranger. Great to see Jess and the boys.

Yikes! I am so glad that your OK Derek! Love your 'never give up' attitude! A little Bondo and a $119 paint job and you'll get 'em next year!

Derek your a good sport even tho that’s was some bs. Your a stand up guy and great example why we love you. I can watch you with my boys and know they won’t hear some daddy words. Well done sir !

Dereck you are the greatest and I'm so happy that you did not get hurt. Your sons and wife must be so proud of you not giving up

"Quitters never win and winners never quit" I call that a win! Great job out there!

It is a shame that #22's strategy was to try and hit everyone on the track in order to win. However he will reap what he sews another day. Glad you are ok and I am confident that you can get the old girl back on the road. It looks like it was an awesome family day enjoyed by all.

When he kept pushing to the inside as you neared each turn, I knew that was coming. I sucked in my breath 3 times he was so far up beside you as you were going into the turn. And each time, he was further into the danger zone. I'm just glad you weren't hurt.

Hell yeah brother! These things happen when you do it for Dale.

Ya know, Garrett is single handedly changing my opinions about SOME ferds. Those crown vics don’t stop, and that little ranger, MAN! And fantastic display of control during that crash. Steer away, stay calm. Then you rolled and IMMEDIATELY shut it down. Thaaat is how you save vehicles right there. You might have had to lay her down, but you still saved it Derek!!

Great job Derrick!!!!! I know your soul was hurt when your truck was flipped over, but like a real man you put a smile on your face an keep on going 💯💪💪💪💪 your my favorite youtuber..........

She's fixable. Its not that bad. I've seen worse put back together. I'm Glad Derek is ok after that flip.

I'm an old guy, my kids have been grown up and gone a long time, but my boys still remember when we had a problem we didn't ever give up, and as adults they don't either. You going back out and racing showed your boys something that winning that race wouldn't have taught them. I'm glad you weren't hurt, and I'm especially glad you went back out there and did what you intended to do, and that's have fun and race like hell. Your sons won't forget those lessons either. :)

When the truck flipped I panicked. Mean while Derek is cool as a cucumber. You are my hero.

Man, I’m glad you and everyone else who competed are still all in one piece. I held my breath on your rollover for a sec. When James went over in the infield I was real concerned… I knew those high centers of gravity were gonna get sketchy. I’d have thought they’d do a bit more cage.

I really appreciate you hanging out after the racing and talking to people. It was great to shake your hand

I was glad to see that you didn’t let go of the steering wheel and try to push the ground away like all inexperienced people do!!! You Sir are a driver!!! Also, I was happy that you went back in and finished the race!!! 💪🏼🔥🔥🔥🙏🏻❤️👍🏻

I have watched several videos from the race and you are the only one who shows the star spangled banner being sang and all the Americans singing along, screaming USA USA USA 🇺🇸 That's why we love ya Derek

Hope you’re adding clairvoyance to your long list of skillzz

Correction Derek ... "You" didn't roll your Ranger ... FBK rolled your Ranger!!! I feel bad that he was not penalized for his bone head move ... he definitely didn't follow the guidelines for the race that Cletus outlined in the Driver Meeting and was then rewarded with the win ... total BS in my book!!! I was happy you were at least able to get back out there! Derek ... keep bringing us the Awesome content ... VVG ROCKS!!!

Glad you’re ok Derek and nice job showing your boys winners don’t quit!

Class act for sure. Gets back up and back on the track. Scrubbed those tires and almost caught the leads. Awesome and happy to see you jump out safe. Cheers.

Damn. You were Freedoming so hard there. That wreck was intense, glad you're ok.

Number 22 must of thought it was a demo derby.Glad you're Ok, and finished the race.

Glad you're okay! Your reflexes were awesome on that rollover! Seen you hit the other direction then you turned into in the same millisecond but you got shoved into the flip

Good thing is you made it out unscathed and you have your health. And NO DNF 👍👍 Great job sir. There's always next year.

Hats off to you Derek. the reactions when the car was still sliding to shut her down. Awesome stuff. first thing we have to do is hit the kill switch but that was quick

The Foreshadowing; “ Have I accidentally bought the perfect truck for the event”. So glad that you’re okay and even managed to get back out there. LEGEND!!!!

I love that you have us a glimpse of the normal content when you first brought the thunder after the crash! A questionable motor being checked for life? A feller was right at home! 😂

Your boys are great, your wife Jessica is a lot of us green with envy, fantastic family. God bless you sir, may the Lord be with you and your crew always.

Glad you're OK man, and glad the truck is alive!

I was worried when you came to rest with the roof in on coming traffic ! Glad you weren’t hurt my guy and thanks for sharing

My man is a great dude something I learned is to get up and keep trying. But if your car or whatever is totaled or your body is destroyed dont but he got up and continued on a very strong man right there I love you Vice Grip Garage!

Glad you are ok. Happy you had fun and shared it with us. Thanks for being you. I hope Jessica and the kids weren't too worried.

That moose in heat noise when it’s idling is the IAC. Idle control valve. A piece broke inside and the air rushing past vibrates it and makes that sound.

I'm surprised the inertia switch for the fuel pump didn't cut out when you rolled it. Glad you're safe and keep up the great videos.

Shame for the truck, but glad you’re unhurt Derek. Kudos for going back out and finishing, and no bitching… that’s what this sport is all about. You’re a fine man. ❤️👍🏻🇷🇴🇬🇧

I'm glad you're not injured, and hey, Ranger Danger, she'll buff out.
