Cleetus McFarland apologizes after causing ARCA pileup at Charlotte
Austin Green captured the checkered flag at Charlotte Motor Speedway, becoming a first-time winner in the ARCA Menards Series. Meanwhile, Garrett Mitchell, who is better known as Cleetus McFarland on his popular YouTube channel, finished ninth in his third career ARCA start and his first at a non-superspeedway. He also earned a top-ten finish at Talladega Superspeedway earlier this year, bettering that result by one position today. But it was not all smooth sailing for Cleetus. Beginning the race from 11th position on the 32-car grid, he steadily moved forward, reaching seventh before choosing to stay out during the first caution of the race. Advertisement McFarland restarted on the outside of the front row with 62 laps to go, but he spun the tires as the leaders accelerated through the restart zone. The No. 30 Rette Jones Racing Ford fishtailed before connecting with the right rear of Isabella Robusto's car, sending her head-on into the outside wall. Several other cars were collected as well with about ten drivers sustaining damage. McFarland escaped with only minor damage to the left front. He was visibly frustrated with himself, slamming the wheel and even slapping the top of his helmet inside the race car. "I blew it," he radioed to the team, calling it a rookie mistake. McFarland was still keeping decent pace even after the incident, running seventh at the halfway break. As the race carried on, he avoided any further drama, climbing as high as fifth before dropping to ninth in the final green flag run. He also fell off the lead lap near the end as Green made his way by. McFarland apologizes for restart pileup "I want to start out by apologizing to the team that I took out," McFarland told FOX Sports 1 after the race. "I think it was several cars. I just feel terrible. Every time I go racing, I don't want to get taken out. I've felt it. It sucks. I've been sent home and I made a complete rookie maneuver on the restart. I zigged and then I zagged and then (she) was blowing my door off and on the zag. I hit her and put her in the wall. I feel terrible about it. I know those guys work hard to be out here. It sucks to send them home." Advertisement He admitted that racing at Charlotte was "100x harder" than competing at superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega, saying that he got "humbled" in this race. Speaking further on the incident, he added: "I forgot there was no dang restrictor plate on this thing. I'm like 'wham,' gave her the beans. It steps out, steps out and then I clipped (Robusto). Just feels bad, but we'll move forward." McFarland's next planned ARCA start will be at Bristol Motor Speedway in September.

The Cleetus McFarland Effect: YouTuber Brings 70,000 Viewers to ARCA Talladega Race
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Cleetus McFarland, the popular automotive YouTuber whose real name is Garrett Mitchell, finished in an impressive P10 in the ARCA Menards Series at Talladega. Equally impressive was the viewership the driver brought to the race, with his onboards boasting 70,000 live viewers. Driving at the General Tire 200 at Talladega Superspeedway, the driver proved once again that his place in the sport is entirely warranted. His race was a difficult one. Starting in 24th behind the wheel of the No. 30 Ford for Rette Jones Racing, the car threw a valve spring on the fifth lap, meaning he was fighting the pack with less power. "About lap five, we broke a valve spring, and Elmore just came over here and popped the valve cover off," Mitchell said following his top-10 finish. "Obviously, you just can't change that in the race, so they told us after we pulled in, 'The valve train's rattling, go see what it'll do.'"

A detail view of a "Talladega Superspeedway" signage during the NASCAR Xfinity Series Ag-Pro 300 at Talladega Superspeedway on April 26, 2025 in Talladega, a focus on staying in the draft of the cars ahead, he was able to mitigate his power loss while waiting out the inevitable incidents that would take out a lot of his competition. "I just knew that if I fell out of the draft, I was done, and I just tried to channel my inner Greg Biffle and get in there," Mitchell said. "We just held on, and enough people wrecked and made mistakes (that) we were able to finish number 10." According to those watching on social media, including BrakeHard on X (formerly Twitter), there were 70,000 viewers with their eyes on the YouTuber. "10th place finish for Cleetus McFarland! 70k viewers watching his in-car camera on NASCAR's YouTube channel. Big content weekend for NASCAR/ARCA," they posted. 10th place finish for Cleetus McFarland! 70k viewers watching his in-car camera on NASCAR's YouTube channel. Big content weekend for NASCAR/ARCA — BrakeHard (@BrakeHardBlog) April 26, 2025 This happened on his series debut earlier this year as his post-race interview with FOX Sports racked up over 5.8 million views. The driver avoided a wreck during this week's race, and in the resulting interview, described what happened through his shining personality. "That was because my sleeves are cut off. I was able to make that maneuver. Tucked one of my wings, and just... dodged right out of there, said, 'Hell no, brother. You ain't taking me out', and slid in for a number 10 finish."
