YouTube sensation IShowSpeed recently crossed two major milestones in a matter of seconds—winning a much-hyped sprint race against fellow creator Daniel LaBelle and hitting 41 million subscribers almost immediately after.

The race, which had been in the works since March 11, 2025, was originally sparked by LaBelle’s challenge. Known for his comedic running skits and sharp athleticism, LaBelle proposed a one-on-one sprint against Speed, who stayed silent on the matter for weeks. This silence only fueled curiosity, building anticipation across fan communities.

Then, in early June, Speed broke his silence and accepted the challenge, setting social media buzzing. The long-awaited showdown finally took place on June 23 at a local high school track. Fans were evenly split in their predictions—some confident in LaBelle’s precise technique, others betting on Speed’s sheer energy.

As the race began, it didn’t take long for Speed to prove his name isn’t just for show. He surged ahead and secured a comfortable win. And before he could even catch his breath, Speed celebrated hitting 41 million YouTube subscribers live on the track. The timing was so precise, it felt scripted—but it wasn’t. It was just one of those rare, unscripted moments that blend the real world and online fame.

Speed shouted, “And we hit 41 million subs… Let’s go!”

To silence any talk of luck, the two raced again just minutes later. Once again, Speed came out on top.

And it wasn’t an isolated victory either. Just a week before, Speed dominated lifestyle content creator Ashton Hall in not one, but four races back-to-back. Hall, known for his popular morning routine videos, couldn’t match Speed’s pace on the track.
