Renowned YouTuber Cleetus McFarland has set his sights on a monumental goal in the world of NASCAR – making his Cup debut at the prestigious Daytona 500 in 2027.

Cleetus, whose real name is Garrett Mitchell, made waves earlier this year at Daytona despite facing challenges during the ARCA season-opener. Undeterred, he returned to the track at Talladega in April, where he powered through engine issues to secure a remarkable top ten finish in the No. 30 Rette Jones Racing Ford.

After the race, fans and media flocked to Cleetus to hear his colorful insights on the chaotic event, showcasing his growing influence in the racing community. The YouTuber even had the opportunity to sit down with NASCAR legend Kevin Harvick for an interview on the Harvick Happy Hour podcast, discussing his future in stock car racing.

While reflecting on his journey into NASCAR with the help of Greg Biffle, Cleetus expressed his aspiration to eventually compete in the Cup series. Initially eyeing the Daytona 500 in 2027, he now acknowledges the steep learning curve and fierce competition in NASCAR, hinting that his ambitious goal may need some strategic recalibration.

“I think our original goal was the Daytona 500 in 2027, and I’m not saying that’s off the board, but now that I know just a smidge about NASCAR, I still think that might be too early. Those guys are on a whole other level,” Cleetus shared during the podcast.

As Cleetus McFarland continues to carve his path in the motorsports world, his determination and passion for racing are evident, leaving fans curious and eager to see how his journey unfolds leading up to a potential debut at the Daytona 500 in 2027.
