As a dirt racer - Do NOT let the outside car crowd you down and push you out of the line like he did. You got the pole brother...you only have to make an example once. Those boys will play ya. That said, man I hope you stay involved with the dirt cars, they're amazing and you are a hell of a shoe.
I may have misheard but I think that dude to his outside was one of the people that gave cleet the car to use. Maybe not the best guy to make an example of lol
@@NeptunesLagoon Not only that, they can position you to be in an awful spot for corner entry which blows your lap or worse. Been there, done that......regret not wrecking him on the pace lap for it. Rookie fuckery 101.
I was so stoked seeing u make laps in Joseph’s super late model this morning! That’s awesome seeing y’all together to make something happen, hell yea brother!! Not to mention I’m happy to see you branching out to bring some new attention over to dirt track
Im glad others let Cleet drive their cars. Cleet always let's people thrash on his toys cause he knows how much fun it is and likes seeing people have fun.
I used to race sport compacts with Luke. Great guy. Most night he'd show up with an extra car or 2 and let his friends wheel them just to get more guys out racing. Aint got nothin bad to say about him other than hes damn hard to pass haha
Gonna be honest....that looks scary AF! Sliding around the dirt with no brakes inches away from 30 other cars doing the same thing. Shout out to these drivers. That takes some serious skill!
@@dejay20001 well I would just start going to races near you and get pit passes and talk to some drivers, they will give ya any advice or answer questions. If you wanna start out cheap and get used to it I’d suggest building a hobby stock like cleeter is driving. They are fairly simple and the engines has to be budget built based on the rule book. Also go and follow hunt the front and old no. 7 garage on here those two channels will give u perspective of a super late model team and a open wheel modified team. Dirt track racing is super fun and it’s beginning to get very popular all over the place so nows the time to jump into it
Nothing you could do about that mishap in the feature. Wrong place, wrong time. Better luck tonight! I need whatever you're using on your helmet for a camera. The audio is good on your voice.
Cleetus, my uncle Bobby was a genius dirt track racer. Bobby Hillman, figured out a way to make the cam run in reverse. This is done so the car dips to the left, when you give it gas. He could,simply, go around the corners faster. I would imagine you n those boys back at the garage could probably get this done. Keep up the great adventures. Living vicariously through you. Thanks,Dustin from Ohio.
Remember when they had to replace the light poles at the FF while Cleet was gone? Otherwise he would have asked to rip the crane and they couldn't have that 🤣
@@hobman still takes skill to be able to do that, bet you probably have absolutely no idea about any of it...big difference in doing it on pavement your whole life and doing it on dirt for the first time ever.
@@hobman Well yeah.. That's kinda how first times go, right? You don't walk outta getting your race license and jump in Red Bull's F1 car as your first open wheel race. You don't go from your mom's Honda Jazz to Nascar on your first race either, that's just dangerous and stupid. You also don't normally join a full race event for your first dirt race, that takes balls
One rule for the dirt Cleeter. “Up high you fly, Down low your slow”. Look for the darker brown dirt and get your right rear on it. Free that sucker up and rip the lip.
@@brad83X they dont have the power to rip the very top, but you're going to lose all your momentum and bog your stuff if you cut the corner off. Really need to roll the middle and put your RR on the best available dirt around there
The top can work if you are setup for momentum. If geared right and a hog motor down low works. If you don't have either you certainly gotta chase the moisture as long as you can keep it free. Don't suck the power out. Personally I prefer the top but work towards a setup that I can pin to the bottom if I need to. Its the middle I miss out on! Lol
You gotta admit Cletus, the rush might be a different kind of rush but it’s a great feeling to do it for more than 6 seconds. I raced for 28 years and I can tell when someone is going to be good at it in a couple of laps. You my friend are impressive. Good luck tonight and be ready for the felling of a late model of HTF
Well he spun out in the qualifier and crashed at the back of the pack in the hobby race almost immediately but if 28 years of experience tell you he's good at it. Well I guess okay then.
@@Madagon367 Spun out in his first ever qualifier with different track conditions than what he practiced on. Crashed into the pack because it was a pile up... I think he was looking at how he adjusted for the feature from the qualifier.
@@Madagon367 my guess is that you wouldn’t get over 30 mph if you tried it. Why you so negative about Cletus. Don’t like successful people? Go back down stairs at your moms and pull the plug to the computer. The world will be a better place
@@Madagon367 and I’m sure if it was you driving, you would have set a new track record in the qualifier, then lapped the the pack three times with a half track lead by the time the checkered came out during the race. Right?

MOAR!!! I love dirt track racing, I grew up watching local late model and modified's. So much fun to watch the struggle between speed and control, and of course cars always look better sideways! Good job man, You can tell you were making adjustments and quickly taming the chaos. More.
Kind of spiked my heart rate just watching! Love it brother. I grew up around dirt tracks, haven't been back in years. Definitely brought back that feeling ya know!
You gotta race where the track is, which is constantly changing. That’s usually on the top at Bristol. You can enter a few feet below the cushion (although it’s not much of a cushion, mostly just the top) and then slide up to it. If you can do much to tighten the car up and gain some drive, you can sometimes enter in the lower-middle, rotate early, then drive the car to the bottom making a late apex and making the straightaway as long as possible. Doesn’t always work, and you need a car that’s tight enough to do it, but it can be fast and is also a great passing line option.
@@supercrew63 For sure. I should have mentioned, you have to hit whatever moisture there is on the bottom on corner exit with at least the left sides, and if there isn't anything there it won't usually work, unless the top is that slick or far around. We raced non wing 410s and midgets for years, and they have a lot of setup potential, which I'm guessing these guys have less of. It was always fun to set it up on kill to attack the middle and drive off the bottom and snooker the guys busting their ass on the top. Of course the top was fun too.
@@russellharper3027 I did hobby stocks but we had different offset wheels . spacers ,extra shocks with different dampening and different rate coil springs and would change up depending on track conditions we weren't allowed adjustable but we could swap parts
@@russellharper3027 yes we have to run dot approved tires 215/70r15, 225/70r15 and 235/70r15..we have been running the Cooper Cobras...they do pretty good. and those three sizes give us a little bit of stagger. And yes we do Scale the car...
I F'n love this... so happy you're branchin out and doing some other types of racing, you're a wheelman for sure and shouldn't be wasting that talent by just going in a straight line Edit: I shouldn't say "wasting" it takes a lot to keep 1-2k HPs in a straight line, but I think you get what I'm saying
I’m quite impressed with how well Cleet was holding his own out there with no dirt experience. The accident really wasn’t his fault, an incident happened in front that checked up the field and he wasn’t able to stop in time. It happens.
For sure, good car control translates to all types of motorsport and that's where he really shines. And you're right, there really wasn't anything he could do in that one. Wrong place at the wrong time and that's how it goes, especially on the dirt where you don't have the grip of a tarmac track.
Out of everything you’ve raced this will probably hook you the hardest. Imagine doings this all the time running for race wins and a championship. Good driving!
More cross weight, less air pressure, brakes. Chassis set up is the key to winning. You have the ability you just need a better car underneath you. I ran this class for 8 yrs with 73 feature wins in a 9C1 Impala with all GM parts except the safety equipment. It had parts from 9 different cars but all GMs. It's all in the chassis set up. The BFGs tires have the softest rubber. I ran 255X60R15's.
He can't. He doesn't own enough land and getting the land and building the walls, stands and other amenities that it would need would be a million dollar operation. He can however, put dirt on the freedom factory like how Bristol did
So glad to finally see a big time youtuber on the dirt! There's no better place to race! Not your fault at all, thats what happens when youre racing hard.
I normally don't comment on videos. I saw the video where you talked about what happened to the engine in the Elco. I thought that the way you handled the internet trolling about the engine builders was spot on! 90% of them don't know much if anything about building performance engines! Viewers are key to the success of any maker! That doesn't mean that you have to put up with their bullsh*t. I notice that makers are starting to stand up to the trolls. I think that the way that you and your crew have made Sam a part of the team is great! Being an old fart myself it makes me feel good. Keep doing what you do!
Grew up in a small town in Oregon, home of a we'll known dirt track, Willamette Speedway, but just couldn't get into it. Used to climb a big ass walnut tree north of the track. Could climb high enough to be about twice the height of the bleachers and drink all the beer we wanted to B4 we were 21. Great view from there, better than the stands. I think it was the beating up of the cars I couldn't get past, none of the tricky plastic there is now. Lot of work to fix every week. Looks like our boy likes it. Good on him.
Can't wait for Garret to advance in his career so we can get 20+ min videos instead of the advertising friendly over 10 min stuff, entertaining as it is with the shorter videos there is a need for longer ones. Hopefully soon, keep up the good work til then and good luck with everything Garret.
I truly enjoy his videos when they are longer. Can't stand the 10 minute mark just for the algorithm, however I'll take what I can get! I know they have so much footage idk why they can't throw more in, you know?
@@A-A-RonDavis2470 I wasn't saying the content isn't killer, because it is. Just that 10 minutes goes by fast. In his earlier days 15 or more was the regular and was still epic. I'm not trying to hate, I'd just like longer videos. However I will say he does a great job on doing videos almost everyday. To which alot of other YT channels I watch don't.
Miss Cleo was right when she predicted this would end up with something askew! Ya can't Cletus proof anything automotive or nautical for that matter. Send it, Bend it, Brake it, Crash it.... The Cleeter way!
Seeet Honey BBQ that’s some straight up pro racin right there. I’ve seen every race at the freedom factory and they are awesome but Bristol is amazing dude. It looked so freaking fast out there. What speeds are you doing Cleet? Good luck tonight brother! We will be watching
Been watching this channel for a few years now. Recently became a massive McFarland fan-boy. Here in AUS there's a fresh vid moat mornings when we wake
Please don't wreck HTF's car....they are a small team and came from not alot....been watching them about the same time I started watching you Cleet. Make us proud!
I dunno man. As someone that has been around dirt track racing his entire life, I always have a hard time calling someone with a stacker and toterhome a "small team". Compared to the top dogs? Sure. Compared to your average Saturday night super late model team? I wouldn't be so sure.
You’re one hell of a driver, but this Bristol dirt stuff is really new to you and I think it’s a huge lesson and eye opener to realize what it takes to do real oval racing. I’d love to see you get into some more real races and grow your driving professionally.
Awesome man, even little wrecks scare me. Glad it was minor and I'm so pumped for you exploring the world of racing Cleet. Looks like a killer time. Thanks as always for you and your team, I know they're working hard while you're playing in the dirt, putting in the time and effort to show us everything fun. Be safe Yall.
Great battle with the 73 before the caution. Veteran taking the smoother more precise line, vs rookie just blasting the bald eagles diving into every corner. I think 73 was just sipping on his macchiato with one hand on the wheel while Cleeter was fighting that track with every muscle in his body
I don’t know if it has ever been pointed out, but if it has, I apologize. The closed auto captioning that TH-cam does for Cleetus is hilarious. Every video, during the intro, when he says “The Cleetus McFarland TH-cam Channel” it randomly says things. This video was “Policeman foreign TH-cam Channel”! It’s hilarious. I’m always excited to see what it’s going to be.
This was awesome. Seeing you become so versatile with your channel and racing is a great thing. Thank you for the content and everything you provide us fan’s.
It's funny to see the difference views from the outside it looks so calm and i easy meanwhile they are right the steering wheel like hell to keep the car under control... This is so freaking awesome. Your awesome cleet keep up the good work man.
Damn Cleet is just having the time of his life! Awesome FPV video, I almost feel like I’m riding in the car with him. Just patch it up and get back out there!
Cleetus did a lot better than i assumed he would. Now what you need to do is turn your racetrack into a world class dirt track and HOST these type events.
Year after year, Cleetus gives us great content , keeps it fresh, and never once sacrifices who he is in the process!! Thanks, Garrett and the crew!! 🇺🇸
I used to race dirt track in the early 2000's It's crazy that the hobby stock class hasn't changed. While Dirt Track racing is super popular I am surprised it hasn't gained more traction with the rise in popularity of drifting.
Cleetus you have some skills brother. For a first time race on dirt you have shown you got talent. For a moment I thought I was watching Days of Thunder.
There are a good amount of creators that are close to Cleetus that imitate him. Not his content, but how he acts and what he says. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Cleetus’ influence is giant.
You are a natural cleet. Definitely impressed for your first time. Can't wait to see the htf vlog. I've raced hobby stock and late models and I bet after hot lapping that late model, that hobby stock will feel so much easier and relaxing.
I had my first race last summer and rolled the car in the main. Totaled the car. Only race I got but been my dream since I was 8. Hope to get back in it one day and race Bristol! Hope you stick with this sport bud. It’s a blast
You are a bonafide racer now that you've been racing at Bristol. Definitely the real deal, a little more hairy than the Freedom 500, which seems a little more controlled where the cars are not so loose. You definitely have to have cahojnes to do that type of racing. It's different than doing 6.98 in the quarter, which is probably as dangerous if things go sideways. Very entertaining. Cleetus MacFarland delivers the best content.
I went to Bristol in (I think) 98 and watched Dale Earnhardt win,,, was the best birthday gift I ever got myself. Will remember that day for the rest of my life
Alright I'mma send it in this 30 lap race tonight boys. Brought some TBM Brakes with me so I'm ready to roll!

The Bald Eagle 🦅 screech during wipeout was EXCELLENT! Instant laughter!
You should build a dirt track directly next to the freedom factory.
He can't. He doesn't own enough land and getting the land and building the walls, stands and other amenities that it would need would be a million dollar operation. He can however, put dirt on the freedom factory like how Bristol did
So glad to finally see a big time youtuber on the dirt! There's no better place to race! Not your fault at all, thats what happens when youre racing hard.
Looking pretty good, just gotta be quieter with the hands. Most asphalt guys moving to dirt have that same issue. Keep the hands as quiet as possible.
I normally don't comment on videos. I saw the video where you talked about what happened to the engine in the Elco. I thought that the way you handled the internet trolling about the engine builders was spot on! 90% of them don't know much if anything about building performance engines! Viewers are key to the success of any maker! That doesn't mean that you have to put up with their bullsh*t. I notice that makers are starting to stand up to the trolls. I think that the way that you and your crew have made Sam a part of the team is great! Being an old fart myself it makes me feel good. Keep doing what you do!
Nicely done bro, I've never actually seen a dirt track race until now, a lot more interesting than I thought
You never watched the movie Cars.
The Hudson Hornet.
Turn left to go right. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Go to the local dirt track, you'll be hooked for life.
Find a track near you and GO, support your local track, admission is usually only $10-15 per person and well worth it.
@@fast97z24 what the fuck does that mean
Grew up in a small town in Oregon, home of a we'll known dirt track, Willamette Speedway, but just couldn't get into it.
Used to climb a big ass walnut tree north of the track.
Could climb high enough to be about twice the height of the bleachers and drink all the beer we wanted to B4 we were 21.
Great view from there, better than the stands.
I think it was the beating up of the cars I couldn't get past, none of the tricky plastic there is now. Lot of work to fix every week.
Looks like our boy likes it. Good on him.
Can't wait for Garret to advance in his career so we can get 20+ min videos instead of the advertising friendly over 10 min stuff, entertaining as it is with the shorter videos there is a need for longer ones. Hopefully soon, keep up the good work til then and good luck with everything Garret.
Today in the RedBull F1 car is the one and only.....
I truly enjoy his videos when they are longer. Can't stand the 10 minute mark just for the algorithm, however I'll take what I can get! I know they have so much footage idk why they can't throw more in, you know?
@@kristopherkeane3984 because even with Cleetus's 30-40+ minute videos, it's quality over quantity. There isn't a dull moment in his videos.
@@A-A-RonDavis2470 I wasn't saying the content isn't killer, because it is. Just that 10 minutes goes by fast. In his earlier days 15 or more was the regular and was still epic. I'm not trying to hate, I'd just like longer videos. However I will say he does a great job on doing videos almost everyday. To which alot of other YT channels I watch don't.
He does longer videos pretty often too. Feels like he makes videos as long as they ought to be for what they are.
5:40 "Let's go, honey. Don't Suck." I don't know why I laughed so much at this but I did
I like how Maddie said “ come on hunny, don’t suck!” lol that had me cracking up 😂
"I want you to hit the pace car!"
"Why?"
"You've hit everything else..."
Miss Cleo was right when she predicted this would end up with something askew! Ya can't Cletus proof anything automotive or nautical for that matter. Send it, Bend it, Brake it, Crash it.... The Cleeter way!
Send it, bend it, mend it lol
"Let's go honey, don't suck" had me rolling!
Seeet Honey BBQ that’s some straight up pro racin right there. I’ve seen every race at the freedom factory and they are awesome but Bristol is amazing dude. It looked so freaking fast out there. What speeds are you doing Cleet? Good luck tonight brother! We will be watching
Madi “come on honey, don’t suck” lmao. The best. What a supportive wife, cares just as much Cleeter for every race.
Been watching this channel for a few years now. Recently became a massive McFarland fan-boy. Here in AUS there's a fresh vid moat mornings when we wake
Dude you were straight wheelin !! You were steady picking off dudes moving through the pack ! Can’t wait to see more dirt track live action
Please don't wreck HTF's car....they are a small team and came from not alot....been watching them about the same time I started watching you Cleet. Make us proud!
I dunno man. As someone that has been around dirt track racing his entire life, I always have a hard time calling someone with a stacker and toterhome a "small team".
Compared to the top dogs? Sure. Compared to your average Saturday night super late model team? I wouldn't be so sure.
6am... sipping on my coffee... and hear "let's go honey.. dont suck" 😂 damn near spit coffee out my nose 😂😂😂
Hello, how are you doing I hope you’re having a great weekend and enjoying your day so far❤️❤️
New level of respect for Madi. "Come on hunny, don't suck!!
Best part of the video hands down was her saying let’s go honey, don’t suck! So epic.
You’re one hell of a driver, but this Bristol dirt stuff is really new to you and I think it’s a huge lesson and eye opener to realize what it takes to do real oval racing. I’d love to see you get into some more real races and grow your driving professionally.
You did much better than I first expected.
Most people have no idea how slick a dirt track can be.
Awesome man, even little wrecks scare me. Glad it was minor and I'm so pumped for you exploring the world of racing Cleet. Looks like a killer time. Thanks as always for you and your team, I know they're working hard while you're playing in the dirt, putting in the time and effort to show us everything fun. Be safe Yall.
5:41 Maddy, so supportive. You got a good egg there sir, a good egg indeed!
Great battle with the 73 before the caution. Veteran taking the smoother more precise line, vs rookie just blasting the bald eagles diving into every corner. I think 73 was just sipping on his macchiato with one hand on the wheel while Cleeter was fighting that track with every muscle in his body
Looks wicked fun, need more of this. Get the whole crew out there.
I don’t know if it has ever been pointed out, but if it has, I apologize. The closed auto captioning that TH-cam does for Cleetus is hilarious. Every video, during the intro, when he says “The Cleetus McFarland TH-cam Channel” it randomly says things. This video was “Policeman foreign TH-cam Channel”! It’s hilarious. I’m always excited to see what it’s going to be.
You slammed into Cole Trickle. He doesn't know that Rubbin's Racin.
The "let's go Honey , don't suck" nearly made me spit my drink out. Lmao.
Cleetus is living the dream... Literally apart of many types of racing and doing pretty good!
There's a reason they don't hang brand new fenders on those dirt cars, so don't feel bad, Cleet!
This is something I never thought I'd see on the channel. Us Midwest boys are here for it!
This was awesome. Seeing you become so versatile with your channel and racing is a great thing. Thank you for the content and everything you provide us fan’s.
Thanks for making my days bearable cleetus.
its that " I gotta be first" attitude.. take your time.. you cant be first all the time... take it easy.
Day 1 of asking Cleetus and the crew to run a demo derby. Y’all got enough crown vics to make something happen.
This was so fun to watch! Cleetus can drive anything!
It's funny to see the difference views from the outside it looks so calm and i easy meanwhile they are right the steering wheel like hell to keep the car under control... This is so freaking awesome. Your awesome cleet keep up the good work man.
How do I contact you
Dude you're doing pretty daggum good for having one day of practice🏁...Dale would be proud...
Damn Cleet is just having the time of his life! Awesome FPV video, I almost feel like I’m riding in the car with him. Just patch it up and get back out there!
Cleetus did a lot better than i assumed he would. Now what you need to do is turn your
racetrack into a world class dirt track and HOST these type events.
Year after year, Cleetus gives us great content , keeps it fresh, and never once sacrifices who he is in the process!! Thanks, Garrett and the crew!! 🇺🇸
Can’t wait to see the vlog with you driving Hunt the Front Super late model. Hunt the front baby!!!
Garrett can pretty much drive and race anything! Over and Over he proves it.
I used to race dirt track in the early 2000's It's crazy that the hobby stock class hasn't changed. While Dirt Track racing is super popular I am surprised it hasn't gained more traction with the rise in popularity of drifting.
Plowed that dudes brand new bumper . The laugh after they told you it was minor just says it all that cleet is feeling the dirt car movement !!
So epic. Love the support from Maddie. “don’t suck”
Can we take a moment to appreciate Madi and her "Let's go honey don't suck" commentary at the beginning of the race?
Cleetus you have some skills brother. For a first time race on dirt you have shown you got talent. For a moment I thought I was watching Days of Thunder.
There are a good amount of creators that are close to Cleetus that imitate him. Not his content, but how he acts and what he says. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Cleetus’ influence is giant.
Super enjoyed the Bristol vids. Was really cheering for ya Garrett. Go gettem!
You are a natural cleet. Definitely impressed for your first time. Can't wait to see the htf vlog. I've raced hobby stock and late models and I bet after hot lapping that late model, that hobby stock will feel so much easier and relaxing.
5:43....😂😂She's a keeper dude.
Thanks for watching ♥️

You are an inspiration to us all. Keep livin your best life. (And thanks Maddie for the “don’t suck” commentary 🤣)
“Let’s go honey don’t suck.” Good motivational speak Maddie ! Love it
Best line of the vid "come on honey! DON'T SUCK!" 😂😂😂
I had my first race last summer and rolled the car in the main. Totaled the car. Only race I got but been my dream since I was 8. Hope to get back in it one day and race Bristol! Hope you stick with this sport bud. It’s a blast
You are a bonafide racer now that you've been racing at Bristol. Definitely the real deal, a little more hairy than the Freedom 500, which seems a little more controlled where the cars are not so loose. You definitely have to have cahojnes to do that type of racing. It's different than doing 6.98 in the quarter, which is probably as dangerous if things go sideways. Very entertaining. Cleetus MacFarland delivers the best content.
The "lets go honey dont suck" made me laugh more then it should have 😂
I went to Bristol in (I think) 98 and watched Dale Earnhardt win,,, was the best birthday gift I ever got myself. Will remember that day for the rest of my life
