IShowSpeed just proved he’s fast, both on the track and on the sub count. After obliterating fellow YouTuber Daniel LaBelle in a highly anticipated sprint race, Speed crossed another finish line: hitting a massive 41 million YouTube subscribers within seconds of his win. The moment was electric, spontaneous, and screamed main character energy.
Speed vs Labelle: The Race Fans Were Waiting ForThis face-off had been brewing since March 11, 2025, when Daniel Labelle—known for his quirky running videos and physical comedy—challenged IShowSpeed to a sprint race. While Labelle boasts over 35 million subscribers himself and a fanbase obsessed with his unique running stunts, Speed kept fans guessing by staying silent for nearly two months.
Finally, in early June, Speed accepted the challenge, and the internet collectively marked their calendars.
The Showdown at the TrackOn June 23, 2025, Speed and LaBelle finally met up at a high school track to settle the challenge that had been brewing for months. Fans were split. Some backed Labelle for his form and finesse, others stood firmly with Speed for his raw explosiveness.
As the countdown ended and the two launched forward, it was clear: IShowSpeed had the edge. He blazed ahead, winning by several feet.
Seconds Later: 41 Million Subs UnlockedSeconds later, while still catching his breath, Speed celebrated with his signature hype:
A Rematch? Same ResultIf anyone thought it was a fluke, Speed shut that down real quick. They ran a second race just minutes later. Same story. Same winner. LaBelle gave it his all, but Speed clearly had that sprint god mode unlocked.
This Isn’t Speed’s First WSpeed’s streak didn’t begin with LaBelle. Just days before, he beat lifestyle influencer Ashton Hall in four consecutive races. Hall, famous for his viral morning routine clips, was completely outpaced.
Now, back-to-back wins and a 41M subscriber flex? Speed’s not just riding momentum; he’s sprinting past it.
What makes this story epic isn’t just the race—it’s the perfectly-timed subscriber milestone, the playful creator rivalry, and the fact that Speed is living up to his name in real life.
From roasting friends on livestreams to racing viral influencers and smashing milestones mid-stride, IShowSpeed is in a league of his own. And as the sub count continues to rise, one thing’s clear: he’s not slowing down anytime soon.
