Some people or teams get cheered, and some get booed. I would like to see diesel bros come back for Le Mullets, win, and when interviewed say “I’m here to win for my (insert exact amount of subs here) fans and subscribers. If you weren’t tuned in to watch me win, then I’m sorry for your favorite driver and their luck.” People who aren’t fans and not subbed will subscribe just to comment and let their hate flow. But, more subs, more comments, good or bad grows a channel.

Randy, Kevin, and Derek were some of the most underestimated people at the event. They are all former/present professional racers and had serious talent.

Who at all would underestimate randy? Lmfao

Ah, the young ones that don't know Randy. Even Hailie didn't know him. That could be considered insulting, knowing her job. 😄

@JedStrogan everyone that didn't even mention them in the topic of who could be running at the front underestimated them.

You can tell by watching it that you didn't purposely do any of that that was a spicy race but it was all awesome you all put on one hell of a race I really enjoyed watching it

[@over1498]

He clearly pit maneuvered the yellow car with malicious intent lol. Not even close to inadvertent. He even said that was the only time he got a little “aggressive” It was honorable making this video to explain and low key apologize. But it wasn’t a great look

Heavy D for President!!! Exactly..it was All Diesel Dave's Fault... for yet another fun day for all they got their money's worth and a helofalot more. Not boring people best channel by far.

@@PuerRidcully Sounds like he is trying to justify his actions. He is a dumbass. The least amount of common sense would tell you not to drive through the grass and put everyone in danger.

Hearing you describe what happened definitely clears things up. Watching it live I was very confused why you're acting like that.

[@ifger]

second time watching, just overall such a good storyline and cuts, you guys really show the polish through and through

[@davidholden2811]

Only when you admit to a mistake do you truly learn from it. I respect people like you.

[@pnnedbyheavydspark6604]

Thanks~~~~

[@boneandbeth1]

Hey me and my boys jumped out of are chairs when you went ham out on the track and you proved just how truly awesome of a person you are with all that you have done after the race to try and set it right... keep being you and thanks for a great race to watch...

Diesel Dave was Heavy D's butterfly affect. He set everything in motion for D's night.

[@jerrysantos6484]

I loved this video. It shows your character and humility. Me gusto mucho. Thank you Double D. 👍😎👍😎

[@comdrive3865]

4:00 what's really interesting is in Whitslin's hilux durability test 3 video that came out after all this blew over and heavyD got in passenger side with WhistlinDiesel when he was going to do something risky with that beat up hilux. Essentially a "I'm sorry for almost killing you in the freedoom 500, here I'll ride shotgun with you on your suicide mission"

[@Toyotarunner13]

Just tell Cleetus that you need a diesel crown vic next time!!🤘💯

[@samsonlashua3636]

Fr tho

[@erikrobbins4792]

"The freedom 500, it's not the race for you" 🤣🤣 no lie when you spun tanner I was a little mad cause that's who I had placed my money on. You definitely did spice it up, and it takes a big man to admit you were wrong, lost or confused. I hope he does invite you back!

[@mosconi0359]

Wow, you made eating crow sound like a banquet! I totally believe you and although I didn't see the whole race, the clips you showed seem to prove what you said happened, actually happened. I for one still love you man and I am becoming more and more fond of all your videos. Keep being you! P.S. Please "stay off the grass" since I'm a big fan of Cleetus as well.

[@NitrosDen]

Great vid! This is a tad late as it just popped up while I was watching your most recent stuff, and hey, you probably have the comments turned off for this one by now anyway 😅. Those kind of races are meant for fun and carnage in a controlled environment, so anyone who was pissed just needed to find another spectator sport. I just wanted to say that it takes a REAL decent, NON "disingenuous" person (genuine and honest) to admit when they made a mistake, and an even bigger person to apologise for one, (yes an Aussie here spelling it with an 'S' not 'Z' 😉). You have a great attitude and keep things real while still being humble, and the other fellas like Whistlin Diesel, Tanner, Cleetus etc all have the same great attitude. You are all a bunch of Legends! As they say "SHIT HAPPENS." KEEP BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF, AND KEEP, KEEPING IT REAL!!! Much love and respect to you, the crew and your family Tania from Australia 🏁🖤🏁

[@kenrobinson8522]

HA.. Makes me think of the Days of thunder quote.. " He didn't hit you, he didn't crash you, he rubbed you. And son, rubbin' is racin' " Good on you for explaining your point of view.

I enjoyed it. And you did a wonderful job explaining turn by turn event. Hope I could be your pic crew next time LOL

[@bendewitt2756]

Started off sounding like you was trying to push the blame on others.... but then the real man came out and accepted your wrong and admitting where you feel you messed up then apologizing for what you think people saw. That’s a lot of heart! There is a lesson there to be thought for all. Keep it heavy!!!

[@michaelmckay]

Yeah I am over it, he manned up and I am cool with it.

[@TheYammerHammer]

dude, hindsight is 20/20 you always think you can do better but in the moment you’re just reacting to what you know, it’s not your fault you didn’t ruin the race, but the apology and the respect that you show to Cleetus and the other drivers is absolutely a stand up thing to do, I have so much respect to anyone who’s willing to say they were wrong and try to make amends even if it wasn’t entirely there fault. You’re an awesome person. 🤙

[@daddynichol52]

Work with other drivers to buy up some more crown vics and ship them to Cleetus to chip in replacement cars.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Somebody probably mentioned it but Cleetus being so protective of the grass is more of a meme than anything. It's intentionally a really tough blend of grass that is designed to branch out and repair holes and bare spots on its own. Plus it's a racetrack, some stuff is going to get tore up lol. Sounds like you're owning your goof-up. And it was all a misunderstanding, as these things usually are.

Hahaha love how you did a couple drifts and said fu*k it I’m gonna hop back in first place. Good work 😂🤣
