[juanitogrijalva]

Fucking truck rammed that damn car lolol

[yeababyization]

@juanitogrijalva blame the truck for the car being in the way????......

[vindavison]

i dont know why everyones complaining about the announcer. hes a good announcer and i listen to him every weekend at the track

[AshBlue1989]

Announcer acting like this is for entertainment no matter if someone is dying. What is this, Total Recall?

[yeababyization]

and if you watch the highlight video in the sidebar you'll see a car go flying over a tractor tire and Lee Cranford gets out to make sure hes ok.Just good old Oklahoma spirit.Still not takin anything from Kip Hughes

[yeababyization]

scary glad he was okay

[intensity74]

The announcer is a fool...unless this is being broadcast over the radio then there is no reason for all of that conversation

[CoyCypert]

@intensity74 It actually was streaming live online to viewers from around the state.

[DK1ng1908]

I know Kip Hughes personally. He races against my step dad and my 2 uncles at our hometown track every Sunday. He is a really good guy. But he's not the only one who would do that for someone. A majority of stock car drivers would. But what makes this really special is how big the flames were. Not many people would stand up to that.

[BitzanBobs]

Legend, this made my day!

[zethanduke09]

NASCAR is SUPER gay...but that guy who saved him is a fucking legend...

I SALUTE HIM!!!

[likeomgutube]

The announcer / commentator over the loud speaker with the play by play makes this heroic rescue even more awesome!

[crazygamer3D]

The guys who help other racers like this are the greatest.

[KodyBoatright]

@dpcnull haha lol you sound like an idiot...I was at this race and my heart goes out to Kip Hughes great man for saving someones life and your going to call us rednecks...i would like to see your faggot ass in that fire...so how about you go troll somewhere else!!!

[MrBenson3436]

Damn glad to se things like this. People like that, make America proud.

[ElMiembroRapesao]

kip this is from the dominican republic just to let you know how much we apreciated what you did with that man that day , jesus put you in the right place at the rigth time god bless you .

[171soap]

the 1 dislike should have burned in that car.seriously.

[LtVictor1]

Just had to put in a comment here Great Job In all what you guys did glad every one is allright !

[stev1bp]

Why are people acting like this is strange? We are dirt track racers, anyone at my track and most dirt track drivers I know would do this for their fellow racer. The guy Kip in this is a great example of our great sport! We help each other just has hard as we race each other.

[joshuame505]

Who's the single dirty human piece of #### that disliked this video showing the awesome nature of a human being at their best?

[jbhliven]

@joshuame505 u mad bro?

[ciaradawn1990]

Themadmallard..youre right it was pretty dusty after four days on the track that was Brian Wolfe he was racing up high and the camera didn't see him coming I believe it was 311 that hit him from behind and sort of caused all the chaos not blaming him because it is racing and it is dangerous

[rfofvn]

a real man!

[menofat1]

WTF LOOK CLOSLEY AT 1:57 THE YELLOW CAR THAT CRASHES APPEARS OUT OF NOWHERE WTF?!?!?!?!?!

[PavelDatsyuk138]

@menofat1 lol actually looks like that but you can tell it just went behind the car..

[dustindammeier]

@menofat1 You're right........1:57 shows the yellow car appearing out of thin air......it's not there as the cars come around the corner.......weird.

[themadmallard]

@dustindammeier this is dirt racing, the cam just wasnt high enough rez to pick the car out of the dust any sooner

[steviestiches]

Holy shit. You're unlucky then lucky within minutes.

[SGottl7227]

I think this Kip Hughes is a real hero. Watching him so valiantly go where other's dare not go.  Saving Terry Muskrat like the fire didn't matter. He's a true American Hero.

[cruisergal55]

To see the driver come strolling out of that fireball, all embarrassed acting and then to see his rescuer hit the track on his knees, THERE ARE MOST CERTAINLY ANGELS AMONG US!!! weare cared for and protected at all times, until it's OUR time and it most certainly was NOT time for either of you guys!!! AMAZING!!!!!

[780kerrylane]

His saved this guy, b/c nobody helped his dad when his car got cought on fire, other racers kept driving and his dad got burnd bad... 

Just knowing there's a good person like this out there, made my day.

All the heroes out there, thanks for being heroes to us :)

[TheBigToeDrZAUS]

Wow!

[xDziadeKx]

RESPECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stachu2907]

Respect.

[dsrtemt1]

@CoyCypert Also another Tip.... Powder Fire Extinguishers.. DO NOT prevent reignition of the fuel... so it can start right back up if there is still an ignition source .... just a little constructive criticisim..... not coming down on them at all.... everyone did great....

[dsrtemt1]

@CoyCypert gotta be Ready to rock 100% of the time. suits do no good when they arent worn. but im glad that they have them.... As far as Cold Fire is concerned... Great Stuff... and if you happen to know those guys.... just a tip...Pre Mix it at 6% in water extinguishers and in your mounted tank on the truck.... thats the recommendation for high octane gas.... ive been doing the motorsports fire/safety thing for about 10 plus years now...and it always knocks the fire down real quick.

[johsy]

#97 driver is such a pussy, didn't know how to react

[amesja]

@johsy you have not ideal what you are talking about .... WOW

[scubasteve97]

that guy who helped pull him out is a hero, it's great to see another driver do that.. I commend him for his actions and would be proud to race with him anyday...

[MsZabiee]

lol sumbody shut upp the commentator :P

[lnldaddy1647]

Kip,

Great job. This is beyond good sportsmanship this was a heroic act. As a career firefighter I hear the term Hero thrown around too much but I believe this time it is a fitting title. Be safe.

[BuddyDeeJ]

giant and brass...... hero through and through

[plathrop111]

Did I see correctly that the driver that came out of the car that was i the frame but not on fire was wearing BLUE JEANS?!?!? I hope I am wrong. If this is correct this track really needs to update the safety standards that they have. I would also recommend protective equipment for the fire/medical crew.

[muskratt89]

Kip, every time I see this video, the actions you took to help dad get out of that blazing car astonishes. I'm so happy you were there. I'm so happy you reacted as quick as you did. I know I've already told you once, but I could never thank you or God enough. I'm so glad that the Lord was watching over you both. You are my hero, and I will never forget what you have done for me and my family. We all give you our gratitude. Sincerely, Terry's daughter. :)

[hannaralene]

@muskratt89 Kip, thank you for saving my Uncle Terry :)

[ElMiembroRapesao]

@hannaralene he is a hero thanks that guy he save the life of the good man , thanks god. im from the dominican republic and just wanna say that things like tha is what make me thinks that god is here with us god bless kip , god bless all of you, love from dominican republic.

[muskratt89]

Kip, eevery time I see this video, the actions you took to help dad get out of that blazing car astonishes. I'm so happy you were there. I'm so happy you reacted as quick as you did. I know I've already told you once, but I could never thank you or God enough. I'm so glad that the Lord was watching over you both. You are my hero, and I will never forget what you have done for me and my family. We all give you our gratitude. Sincerely, Terry's daughter. :)

[rmontalvo5]

HEROE

[dsrtemt1]

Glad the Driver made it out safely... The track really needs to re evaluate its safety team.... maybe some fire resistant suits...... and some updated equipment... Foam... Dry Powder Extinguishers..... its expensive.... but its an investment in your safety and the safety of the drivers... just my 3 cents....

[saitek5678]

@dsrtemt1 Totally , the reason the other driver rescued him is because he could handle the flames and heat! The others were getting burned, wow awsome

[chearn73]

Wow. That's quite the testament to those fire suits as well. 

[ciaradawn1990]

Kip Hughes is a real man no matter what any one says or dose he got out of his car to get another guy out of a burning car when the 99 car is sitting closer she never drops her net earlier that night she put him n the wall while he was lapping her Kip ur the man I think u should have won that race and u would have if it wasn't for her

[Splungers]

@ciaradawn1990 Kip Hughes did far, far more than win a race. He prevented a hospital stay or at worst, a funeral. There will be more races to win. The track crew was there very quickly and had water on the fire too. Well done by all. From an old racer in N.C.

[dbstreetstock26]

i been upside down and been on fire but never at same time. thank god he came out ok. glad that other driver was there and got himout or we might be talkin about this guy dying in that car. looks likt that track needs to rethink there safety personal before there next race.

[yeababyization]

@dbstreetstock26 i think personaly that OSP has some of the best saftey crews at a dirt track.Ive seen a track that doesnt even have a fire truck just a bunch of guys with hend held fire extingushers.Not taking anything from kip i was there and be4 kip got there i think we all thought wed be paying terry our respects at a funeral.But i understand your concern.GO KIP HUGHES

[JackieJax41]

I'm so glad your ok, Thank God Your Ok

[TangerineRocketQueen]

Thank God they're all okay.  Fire is terrifying...

[fapsqpz]

scary ass shit! Glad they're okay !
