From a broken iPhone taped to a garage door to FREAKING BRISTOL BABY!!!!! Seriously Derek, VGG TRUCK PARKED IN THE FREAKING INFIELD AT BRISTOL!!!!! So proud of you buddy

Funny I'm writing this but I really look up to Derek in some ways. Always keeping composure, friendly, fair and caring. What a role model this guy is.

Wow at Cleatus jumping the viper with the stadium truck that was sick

Thank you for your wholesome, family oriented channels, Derek. Super fans at our house.

HINT: Simple Green in your washer fluid does wonders for track slobber on windshields.

Best angle of the Viper jump I have seen.

I know you don't have a lot of time to sit around watching KZfaq but don't sleep on Goonzquad. They are good young men that were raised right. Derek, you would be proud. I'm sure that many VGG fans are also Goonzquad fans.

I've been going to Bristol for many years. I saw Dale Sr. win his first ever race there and lived through the Darrell Waltrip domination. I've seen the evolution of the track from asphalt high banks to concrete. The trend has been going to running a higher line as the tires wear in. This allows going deeper into the turn and keeping momentum off the turn.

OOFTA!!!! Its gonna be a good day now fellers and fellettes

A feller sure does love seeing an upload when it's break time at work. Wettin down the ol back neck. Love the videos keep em coming!!

How awesome to be able to say "I put down laps at Bristol"! Very cool Derek 😎

congratulations on the new show coming to Motor Trend

You mentioned KY Headhunters a couple weeks ago... coincidence, they are playing in nearby johnson city on race day. Whole family and guys at work all love your content...thank you, be safe. Will see you all at Bristol.

Bristol also does a nice Christmas light show... I had a 94 Pontiac Sunbird and you have to go up the bank to exit... Needless to say I BARELY made it up

I love how the closed captioning said [MUSIC] when Cleetus was racing the truck around the outside bank of the track

What the heck! My hump day just got 37.845% better! Thanks Derek !!

I probably missed see anyone Tuesday morning when I was leaving Johnson City Tennessee at 5 am. Good truckers life

The brothers from Goonsqad in the Viper

I sure hope I get to come. I bought tickets yesterday morning and about an hour and a half later my company sent me to Texas. I sure hope I'm back in time.

HOLY CRAP! AMAZING JUMPING TRUCK!!!

I'll see you there. I just got my gear Monday in the mail.

One day a feller was out working on his old tractor, now he’s makin’ some laps at Bristol speedway . Eyeing up ramps with his parts getter !!!😁👌👍🙏✌️😎🤙

Congrats on the Motortrend deal Derek!

The suspension on them stadium trucks super smooth on the Landings

Thanks man. You’re videos are helping a guy get though some tough times.

8:00, Sat here with tears in my eyes listening to that V8 roar echoing throughout the stadium. Everything I love about the internal combustion engine captured on film in 30 seconds. Amazing work as always Derek, thanks for this.

Racin' on the Lodge channel? Yes please 😁

I honestly rather be watching these guys having fun on the track then watching NASCAR, which I haven't in years now !

Man, y'all going big-time now.. got yer own VGG helicopter.. 😲 😄🤘🏼🇺🇲

Pretty nice when an event is right down the road from a fellers house. Lol

Congrats on the tv show!

Derek that was real cool you showing the steep banks as you did. Wow. Thanks so much.

Derek I would love to see you help the goonzquad boys with their ol Camaro! Seeing you with them together would be soooo epic. Dang son!

The gimbal cam on the dash really shows how much bank there is!

Those stadium trucks get some serious air off those jumps

Love getting the surprise uploads! Makes the day at work go by a lot easier.

a video from Dereck puts a smile on my face! Thanks!

I remember rolling threw that tunnel in my car getting almost teary eyed, place is amazing.

Omg, wow, nice jump. 👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

Those intakes were actually part of a huge recall. Did so many when I was a dealer tech. Lol

That bank is gnarly!

The stereo microphone really reveals what it sounds like to be there in such a unique environment with those machines. Thanks Derek!

A Cup night race at Bristol is my Unicorn, man. Is this what being a Packers fan is like? Cleet is crazy but that 75+' jump over that Viper was Insane!!! Felt a pang in my heart when you said you were haulin ass to see your boys football game...just another reason I'm proud to be a fan. Yup.

Sounds like its time for the ole heater delete mod for the crown vic fleet.

Could just barely hear the car from the tunnel but could hear a guy's cowboy boots clippity-cloppin on the cement lol

A feller hasn’t watched this yet but I already like it! Keep it up!! Love all the content!

Just made hotel reservations this week! Making the 8+ hour drive to see this craziness in person! Looking forward to a much needed mini vacation in Bristol!

Awesome being in the car with you.. Thanks for the ride.

*I'm counting on you to finish first.* This is your race. I wish I could be there in person but unfortunately I'm a severely disabled 52 year old Firefighter/EMT and I'm not able to drive myself that far. But I'll be watching on my phone. *Be safe, have fun an WIN🏁*

Everything you and your family does is Awesome Work.

Stadium trucks are always awesome and fun

"I don't...OK" Exactly what I was thinking.

This is going to be so awesome thanks for the preview. It was really nice to see a new Vice Grip Lodge Video thank you sir!

Good idea to switch to water. Maybe add some one of those water colder supplements to see if that helps…?

Bring the kiddos back in December, they have millions of Christmas lights set up every year and you get to drive on the drag strip and the bottom of the track. (Speedway in Lights)

Can't wait till Bristol!

Love the behind the scenes content! Makes a feller very happy!

Man that makes Evil Knievel jumping 20 busses seem like child's play

I'm glad you left the camera on the gimbal for your laps. It really shows the angle of the banks.

I hope you passed that tidbit about the X code along to Cleetus. They can search the wrecks for good rear ends for this track.

Thank you for sharing this with us...you are the best!

The gimbal on your in car camera gave the best impression of the banking at this track that I've seen to date. Also, living in the UK it's funny hearing people getting excited about going to Bristol!

Can't wait for Budget Shop Build Ep4.

In joy have fun stay safe I will be watching you have fun God bless you and your family

Congratulations on the new tv show with motor trend Derek and the track time is awesome

Oh Cleatus is running the stadium truck Sweet

Thanks for the new upload, Derek! We appreciate all you do!

Love getting any extra content. Heh to the family from MamaCard in Florida.

I was expecting the next video on this channel to be an update on the shop but I guess I will just have to watch this AND LOVE IT👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Thank You for taking me to the track for a preview. Be Safe!

Looks like everyone was having a blast. I can hardly wait for the race! Thanks for posting this video. I was curious to see what your take would be on the track & how the cars worked there. Good luck during the race! As long as something crazy doesn't happen I think you have an excellent chance of winning! You have proved that you're an awesome Wheelman! Could you have every imagined the day you taped that phone to your garage that you would be where & doing what you are now? What a ride! Thanks for bringing us along!!

Derek is a legend. Glad he was able to take part in something this cool, and was able to add his touch to the event. Godspeed man, and heres to hoping for many more rescues and videos.

They do make an aluminum intake for the vic the plastic manifolds are well know for cracking warping and being just a pain regardless of how you treat them

Nice love the channels

Should be a blast, Thanks for the video.

I can't wait to get their always wanted to go to Bristol. Now I can go and see some of my favorite youtebers!

try Norma hose clamps made in Germany

The house that Rusty built.

Watching from Bristol UK

Live 20 minutes from Bristol baby. Been going since the early 70s and I got my tickets . Can’t wait

Love the fact you drove the square body!!! Stay safe and be blessed 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This has to be an additional check on a bucket list you never actually thought of. Growing up around short tracks to hangin out and racing on "THE" short track has to be just an awesome feeling. Congrats to you Derek!! 🤘🤘

Love the acoutics of that place, great to hear that sound. Four of my favourite sounds..American V8 at chat on a circuit, V12 Merlin (Spitfire or Lancaster) and the sound of an Adams 02 with a westinghouse pump chuffin away! Or a Ford DFV on full chat. Goregous noise.

See ya there!! Can't wait!!

The Viper belongs to the Goonsquad boys. They are running in the race for the 1st. time. Fellow KZfaqrs

In the Tunnel, Derek's wearing heels!

I figured you would drive the monte carlo out there but the shop truck was a nice touch

My bucket list along with Daytona and Phoenix.

Bristol has everything "CH47" Flys over lol great work thanks for taking us behind the scenes

It’s fun watching you search for the best line.

You never would of been able to do this in snow country life's a funny funny thing thank God I'm a country boy.

Massive congratulations on the announcement Derek! Your statement was perfect. You've made it happen on your terms and that's genius. Can't wait to see it. Complete respect and big joy for all of you.

A feller will be getting the ppv on account of i live on the west coast. But I’ll be rootin for ya!

I want to thank you Derek I have Heard the term bookin in at least 10 years and it made me think of my sister

Everybody needs to visit Bristol one time in their lives! I wish I didn’t live 10 hours away. I visit for at least one of the NASCAR weekends each year and the first time coming around the corner and seeing the track is amazing. Driving on the track is a whole different level of awesome! Can’t wait to watch this event, good luck!

Love the videos he’s coming

Seems like you have a little time to enjoy..Have a blast Derick

Charlie Glotzbach won the first I saw at Bristol. He set the record for the quickest race pace in a Chevrolet. The record was in the 1971 Volunteer 500 and still stands.

It's great to see you racing!

Can't wait to meet ya man. See everyone there.
