Seeing Jerry tear up before a race made my heart drop. Been in the same position when chasing my dream. Its alot of emotions and you cant hold it back. Really glad they kept that clip in
You have dreams?🤔🤔🤨🤨
I would've definitely cried like a full on child
Petition for donut to make a tc team
I agree, such a raw clip.
Yep, it was amazing. So glad they kept that in. Made me tear up a little too
Seeing Jeremiah get emotional while achieving a life long dream got me right in the feels.
Y'all are putting out some great content lately.
Amen, I started tearing up
Not gonna lie, someone was cutting onions over here. I'm not as close to JB in terms of racing, just doing HPDE with the local club, but I too have the same dream. Maybe one day!
I would love to have seen a cost breakdown of what it took to get where he did, including any sponsorship or freebies, just as a rough guide.
Same feels
he made me cry
we love you jeremiah
Watching Jerry tear up made me so proud, he’s accomplishing his dreams that may have been so far fetched as a kid. Huge props to Donut for supporting him and Jerry for never giving up.
So happy for him
This could have been a 2 hour documentary or even a 7 episodes series. I would love to watch every detail of the whole journey!
The tears when Jeremiah realises he was actually living his dream were great! Gotta love that feeling man!
I totally felt that. And totally happy, too!
he lost because of a damn sensor
@@jaydennoirhe would have lost anyways. He wasn't going to get 1st place haha
@@ryanm2084 nah not in his first race but could have finished the race like he said that's most important
@@jaydennoir he lost both races, technically. Never got 1st place
By far my most favorite episode. To see someone actually doing something they only dreamed about and seeing that raw emotion. Love it.
Hands down my fave episode, go Jeremiah! 🔥
They should do more of this and less of the trying to go viral garbage
Yep, Jer is a very lucky dude
😊😊😊😅 😊😊😅
Agreed. This was the best video Donut's done in quite a while. Jeremiah FTW!!!
Can we get a whole series of Jerry rising up the ranks? Need an underdog story so bad right now
Please i 2nd this so bad I’d love to watch this all unfold
Road to Le Mans is pretty good for that.
I'd love to see this! On behalf of everyone who wishes they could live out this dream, make it happen for us!!
Jann mardenborough
Agreed. Do you watch Jimmy Broadbent? His story is amazing
Jeremiah doesn't strike me as the type to tear up easily, so when he did... that hit so deep in the feels. It's rare to see someone appreciate the gravity of reaching their goals like that.
Donut media crew should compete in the Nurburgring 24HR someday. They have teams of 3
That takes a lot of time and effort, would be dope though for sure!
It worked for Top Gear
Thats a lot of time, effort and of course, money.
Also Jeremiah didn't do so bad, the first race DNF (if the car didn't broke off he'd finish in 6th, but thats motorsport, where anything happens (and Edit here because I forgot is that Jeremiah didn't notice that because sim games doesn't simulate that thing), his second was 5th and in qualify was 4th, for being new at everything isn't that bad
@@JohnSmithShieldsi was about to say. If Jeremy, James, and Richard could pulled it off, these guys are gold.
Go big and go for Le Mans!
The raw emotion on Jerry's face got me. I'm happy for him he got to live his dream, and hope he keeps getting the chance.
I have to say, Donut has been on some top-level content as of late. All the guys never fail to entertain either. MoneyPit and Jeremiah's crazy adventures have gotten me in a chokehold.
Eye got watery once Jerry started tearing up. These guys are all amazing and have truly come a long way. Long Live Donut
Seeing Jeremiah get emotional hit me in my feels. He really lived out every boys dream. Thank you for bringing us laughs, entertainment and emotion Jeremiah! And congratulations on getting 5th place!!
Happy for him and envious at the same time, I’ve always wanted to get into racing too. Good luck Jerry, good finish!💪🏽🏁
*boys/girls
I can't believe it! I'm actually getting teary-eyed while watching an episode of "Donut". Jeremiah, he's just incredible! I am bursting with pride for his achievement!
I couldn't have put it better. 😊
I know, right? All the memes and one liners and hrprs and mo Powa baby and I'm just cheering at my phone with soggy vision.
1st D-Nut video I cried at. Jeremiah ur emotions came straight through and hit me like a ton of tears. You sir are a fing champion, I wish I had the knowledge ability and heart you do. I love Donut and the staff n to see u emotional immediately made me emotional. Congrats sir you rock
Jeremiah's the realest. Out here showing us all the emotions going through him at that moment, mad respect Jere. I hope you get to do this again.
Seeing him tear up made me tear up. Thanks for leaving that in. Takes a lot for men to show emotion and you guys putting him on display means more than probably you all knew. Happy for him and you guys!
14:40 I felt this in my soul. Full passion overload. Frightened, excited, fully aware of everything all at once. This was my favorite part.
I agree… Every driver (including myself) has felt this before their first start.
Hey did he cry
i NEVER thought id get teary eyed watching a donut video, and honestly so stoked for you to live out a dream like that! Your team and fans are proud of you dude!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So glad I'm not the only one!
Same
You should check out Up To Speed episode about Shelby :)
@@robertavanesovruthat one got me good. James is so pure
I've never followed professional peace drivers closely, but man I couldn't help my self but cheer For Jeremiah... dude I don't know if you'll read this but I am sure that a lot of us are not only proud of you for going out there and giving it your all, but also for showing us the little guys that we can achieve it if we persevere!. you rock dude I am happy you got to achieve one of your dreams!!!
I’ve seen Donut media grow so much, glad to be a member of an amazing media family. ❤
When I saw Jer's name on the board that weekend, I knew this episode was coming. Well done for your first race! Keep the dream alive!
watching Jeremiah in tears just before the race, reminds me of my first and only time in a racecar...those emotions just hit so hard, the moment you realize this really is a dream come true!
right before my first race, I remember crying, throwing up and literally praying. 3 years after and I had a ride on the Honda CBR team. Racing is something else 😂
omg jerry crying made me so emotional, he’s such a smart guy when it comes to cars and the fact that this was his childhood dream, and he’s actually achieving his dream, LOVE THAT FOR HIM. MUCH LOVE FROM HOUSTON TEXAS JERRY ❤❤
My heart absolutely melted when Jeremiah started to tear up. It’s such an awesome thing to have a chance to live out your lifelong dream.
14:40 got so emotional out of nowhere I almost started crying 😢I’m happy for you that you got to achieve you’re life long dream, you earned it bud!! Soak it in!!
Sameeee I was feeling it for him 😭
@@alexandercruz9483 this hit me hard...
Same I felt that emotion man
I definitely teard up ngl
Same here, i think some tears also fell of my cheek! You can do it man !
The cinematography is a whole talent of its own here. Amazing!
Donut is pretty good at Shooting stuff like this , and it shows .
I feel like I've been watching Donut since day one and seeing Jerry cry like that made me cry. I know exactly what he's feeling and it's so overwhelming. Amazing to see you live our your dream!
Really glad they kept that clip in of Jerry, and assuming he was also okay with it. Life long dream, probably so much emotion kicked at the same time. So happy seeing the people that make you happy, happy. ❤
Anyone else cried together with Jeremiah? That was pure emotions, that was beautiful!!!
I was just about to comment, like, why was this such an emotional video lol! Donut makes the best videos
I'm too much of a man to cry but it did hit me in the feels
”too much of a man.” great flex ma dud, but yeah, that was emotional
i wanted to cry tbh.
Referring to the “too much of a man” comment. I’m ex army and as soon as I saw his eyes, before he even cried I felt myself well up. Try pretend you don’t have emotion and you’ll no longer be you.
@@MaNNeRz91real men cry.
Hell yeah Jerry! So glad they kept the part in the video when it's just him in the car before the race. Such pure emotion and it's great to highlight the feeling of someone achieving their dreams!
Dude, this was genuinely moving. Great job, JB!
Watching jerry tear up before racing just made me rethink my entire life I came from a racing background raced jr dragsters all my childhood and taking that for granted and seeing a guy like him chase and conquer his dreams is just amazing I loved watching that man congratulations on living out your dream!
14:42 made me tear up man, great work!
Same bro 🥹🫡 🏁
Same. 🤧
This was not part of my viewing plan. GD it
Not gonna lie seeing J getting emotional got to me a bit. So happy he did it and 5th on his first event is not bad at all. Very proud of you.
Man, Jeremiah living a lifelong dream I have had since the days of Gran Turismo 1.
I will say, those feeling and emotions he had in the car, right before his race, are absolutely real. I remember when I did my first race day on my motorcycle. The amount of pressure, anxiety, fear..everything just comes at you all at once. It's honestly sooo nerve racking, I have seen people forfeit and not get on the grid because of the pressure. I am genuinely proud that Jeremiah pushed through and still competed. When I did my first race day, I got last place in all of my heats. But ya know what, I walked away with my motorcycle looking shiny and in 1 piece, and with a huge grin on my face, knowing that the experience further solidified my passion.
Hands down, this is my favourite Donut Media video so far! I’ve loved every minute and felt inspired at every step of the way! Well done 🎉
I love how the boys do "better than TV" content as it was nothing 😎
Ikr
i mean, there is certainly _soooo much work_ being done behind the scenes, but I get what you're saying.
They have a treasure chest of personality. The boys are charming as f***.
The truest statement ever
“The boys” are an entire media company, production team, and sponsorship. This isn’t a puppet show, man.
this is definitely one of the best Donut videos i’ve ever seen, watching Jerry tear up before the race was heartwarming and it was incredible to see him make one of his childhood dreams a reality
Racing experiences are brutal if you don't piss money for a living. Asking to crew for a TC Racing crew was pretty illuminating for me as far as the costs and the logistics. The amount paid to have multiple days of your week including time taken away from work is rather low especially if they crash or break the car and you have to try to piece it back together. Even working the race doesn't make sense. The wheels and tires are expensive and if it's an endurance race you can go through 20k in tires. For the customer, they're paying for service, prep, transportation by the team, trackside support and changeouts, and typically their pro co-driver and they typically like to go first because if the pro has a mechanical failure or crash then they just wasted at least half of their spent money. At that point I realized that I would never be a racing driver so it was really cool to see Jer get the experience. It really gives you an appreciation for all the hard workers and volunteers of more grassroots level orgs.
Jeremiah did incredibly well. He was competitive all the way up until the final laps, and even then he didn't wreck the car. For a first time race driver, that was a performance that any team would have been happy with.
Thank you so much to everyone at Donut proving that this dream we all share is a reality. I'm incredibly inspired!
Love you Jerry
Congratulations on your dream, something you will never forget 🎉
Proud of you!
Bro this isn’t a reality. Jared got sponsors because he is backed by a fuckin multi million dollar company lol. It’s still a rich person sport or at the very least an f you know the right people. But let’s say you did randomly get the chance to do a season. If you did anything less than great they would drop your ass so fucking fast
That was badass, congrats dude!
This is awesome! So glad you're getting to live your dream -- and the dream of so many viewers watching your channel. The racing world is incredibly competitive, I think I'll just stick to casual track days and Assetto Corsa after this video 💀
I was thinking the same thing. Holy crap.
Jerry, something to be proud of. Getting to race like that is so awesome and emotional. Thanks for taking us on the journey.
I can't believe I let some tears drop from a Donut media video. Kudos to Jeremiah for stepping up to the plate and facing the challenge.
Every now and then, Donut just released an absolute masterpiece of a video. Most of which can tend to make you cry. This was one of them. This is probably Donuts best video in a long time, maybe even ever. I feel like a collab between Donut and Gears & Gasoline would do very well
This needs to be a series with a video every race weekend Jeremiah does
YES!
💯
Fr
Definitely
Fucking rhrottling
Jerry was a race car driver
He drove so goddamn fast
He never did win no checkered flags
But he never did come in last
Watching jer get emotional brought tears to my eyes.
So happy for you achieving your dream man!
I love that he was so passionate and you could see it because he cared so much. Every man deserves to have that feeling.
*person
I remember back when Jeremiah for came to Donut. I didn't know how to feel about him and probably busted his chops a bit in the comments of his first few videos, but he definietly won me over. To see him living his dreams and still hittin' with those premo jokes, it chokes ya up a bit. Love ya, Jeremiah. Can't wait to see you on the podium!
Back when he was doing solo miata content was my intro to him. Was so cool because at the time I was investing in building my own miata :] Instant connection.
@@Surms41 u know that's zach and not jerry right
@@zebescitizen Jerry and zach are the same person.
My Heart When He Said " Life Long Dream, Let's Go " With Tears
Watching Jerry become so happy to do his life-long dream should be one of the moat wholesome donut moments!
You made a lot of engineers tear up with this video. It’s a reminder that our passions are like gardens in that they improve with care, effort, and patience. If engineering is the soil, our dreams are what we plant there. Great stuff❤
Seeing Jeremiah go full emotional before his debut race...
Man... this just hits hard. Donut has learned us several times that, no matter how hard things could go... *_just never give up..._*
Yo, that part where you just sat and teared up a little was really wholesome. I appreciate it.
14:45 real car, real race, feel ya dude, and jealous as hell. Go do it!
It's been a while since I got so invested in a Donut video, I'm really proud of you Jer.
Best episode yet. Just wanted to let you guys know that I recognize how much work went into making this video. I wonder how many people even noticed the sound design and music subtleties throughout the episode
The videography too! Best of any donut video can't wait to see how they outdo themselves this time.
14:51 this moment became my favorite one in donut’s videos. This just shows that they are like us and makes them even more relatable
I feel the tears man… that’s what makes donut so original cuz you could put a million feelings into a car but once it’s something like a life long dream it just seems surreal. I felt that down to my core man…love all of donut
Seeing J cry was something else. This guy is so passionate about what he’s doing. I fucking love it❤
14:40 made me tear up man damn. You’re one of the most chill and humble dudes ever and I’m happy you got to experience your dream!
I never drove a car and I am generally speaking against even the very concept of personal vehicle ownership for transportation. But I'm a big fan of passionate people and Jer is my fav Donut presenter because he's funny, humble and smart. I was really happy for him
This was beautiful! Congrats to Jeremiah and everyone who made this happen.
Jeremiah tearing up living out most men like myself childhood dreams was heartfelt. Ive always wanted to race cars for a living.
So much heart and soul went into this. what an absolute masterpiece of an episode
Strangely emotional episode, but too be honest, loved every minute of it. Jerry brings the heat in this one!
Didn’t think I’d tear up for another Donut video but here I am.. crying like a baby for Jerbear.. congrats buddy!
I felt it in my heart when you cried. I am so happy for you man!
Looking forward for more of these kinds of videos, different from the rest. Thanks donut team!
Would love to see this in a longer format/series
Jeremiah is an amazing story teller, felt like i was sitting in the drivers seat. So glad that he got to live out his dream!
This is a funny channel full of joy and lighthearted humour, but I love it that the editing team leaves these moments where Jeremiah or James get emotional and start crying. They keep the editing to a minimum in scenes like those and they allow us the audience (the fans) to see these real humans doing something they love.
Kudos to you guys, whoever team edited this video.
I was there at COTA during the GT Challenge and got to see you race Jeremiah. For your first time you did great. I wouldn’t even know what to do. I also even got a picture and autograph from you so thank you for that!
This is such an amazing opportunity for Jeremiah! Congrats bro
Wow hands down best donut video i ever watched . Wish it was a little longer actually. But this is the first CZcams video that Made me shed a tear for another grown man’s happiness. God for you man, shows you really love what you do. Good luck on future races!
This is one of my favourite episodes of all time. We love you Jer.
This one hit me right in the feels, almost teared at the end of the first race. Great job Donut, and amazing job, Jerry. this episode was a blast❤️
Watching Jerry tear up was the single most moving thing I’ve seen this year. Great job, man 🤘❤️
Now every donut host has made me cry, wtf. That moment is huge, and im so glad I got to witness it.
Seeing Jerry with emotions right before a race, brings back memories when I was 14 doing my first solo flight in a plane. Pure joy.
Those tears were real as real gets. So awesome to see someone achieve their dreams. Congrats Jerry!
the “life long dream baby let’s got” had me cry for you congrats man!!
Only started watching Donut a few months ago but I really appreciate the production values and editing of their videos, even the less dramatic stuff. Really good quality stuff.
Its been said but it simply can not be overstated how beautiful it was to see the reality set in that Jeremiah was about to live out a childhood dream. We should all aspire to have that moment at least once in our lives.
15:00 man that shit hit hard... I felt that in my soul.
Years ago I built my own car. A 96 civic si (we had those in canada) with an acura EL front clip. I bought as a bare shell from a junkyard. Over 2 years I spent $13k on mostly used parts except the drivetrain I built myself while in college for automotive. Literally built in my dad's backyard with hand tools. Not even an engine hoist.
I jacked up the front, drug the drivetrain underneath, and lifted it into place standing on the shock towers with a strap over my shoulders. The only help I had the whole time was dad sticking the motor mounts in while I held the 350lb drivetrain on my shoulders.
Fully built b18a1, high compression, gsr trans with ls 5th, lsd, stage 3 clutch etc
My first time down the strip, I was having that same rush Jerry did, tears, everything. Dreamed of drag racing since I was a kid. 13.6 quarter my first pass with a perfect .500 light. Cried my eyes out like a little kid.
Ended up selling the car for next to nothing right before my oldest son was born 8.5 yrs ago. I'll never forget that car or that moment as long as I live. I'll build another with my two boys someday.
Good job Jeremiah, so proud of you man.
14:36 I felt that moment so hard. Working for so many years and finally have my own brick and mortar store (3 years now). Nothing like having a dream come true! Donut is simply the best
I wanted to jump in there & give you big ol' hug, Jeremiah! 💜
Having been sick for 3 years makes me think about all the stuff I'm missing out on... Hopefully i can do the Orlando track one day 😊
I'm REALLY glad you are able to achieve a dream you've always had. I hope you get to do tons more & I can live vicariously through you lol Keep at it!!! 💜💜💜
Its not just the fact that it was his life dream
But the stress and all the work and COMPROMISES it took to get there... That is not his car, that is not his team, a lot of money that isnt his, so dissapointing them or braking something... To be able to work with that fear... Respect
Damn, dude. I got emotional too watching him get like that in the car before the race started. That was really cool to see because it felt super real/raw. We're all proud of you, dude! I hope that was an amazing experience for you. And who knows, maybe something will come out of it in the future.
Dying laughing when he pours milk before the cereal😂
THE VIDEO JUST CAME OUT HOW DO YOU WATCH IT ALL THE WAY IN 4 MINUTES?!?!?!
thank god Im not the only one who saw it
I legit went straight to the comment section when I saw him do this
@HeisenbergIsHereI'm good
Yeah, I caught that too🤣
This is sooo good. Seeing Jeremiah tear up, DNF and then get 5th. Team Rick Barber's enthusiasm and excitement fueled that episode as much as Jeremiah's own journey. Great video. Inspired!
I love how much donut host cry. It’s beautiful to see men so in touch with their emotions and living out their dreams I love you guys
Man, seeing Jerry make his dream come true like this is awesome. Credit is due also to the Donut Media crew supporting him and each other all the way!
a longer format for this kind of content would be awesome
This was one of my favorite videos you guys have put out! I love Donut so much and seeing Jerry getting to live out a dream just made my day. Thank you for all you do to entertain us!
Good for you Jeremiah, nice to live out your dreams. I gotta say though, I was very surprised you never drove a racetrack in the rain. Watching you donut guys, I'd expect you tried all of those "simple accessible things", though apparently not. Book a trip to Germany, go drive on the autobahn and experience 150+mph speeds, visit the Nurburgring, and visit other racetracks. You'll love it. Then go and drive a professional race again. You guys are awesome.
I'm so happy for Jerry you could feel how much that ment to him to be able to even try to compete in a race. Found my self cheering for him out loud on my lunch break good job.
I cried with you man. My heart swelled with excitement for you, it’s an incredible feeling to achieve your dream. I hope to see more of you on the track.
honestly, no matter how many weeks have passed, i still wanna watch this clip yet again
this is my 4th already.
jerry goes to the legit race and fulfills his life long dream somehow relates to numerous gear-head that are unable to try what he's able to
This is one of my favorite episodes on Donut. Awesome content, top-notch production, and Jerry is such a good host on so many levels.
Love to see the realness come out in Jeremiah. We mostly just see goofy antics out of everyone at donut so its awesome to see some true emotion. Makes him so much more relatabe
Congrats on your achievement man
