Garrett Mitchell, otherwise known as YouTube star Cleetus McFarland, made his much anticipated ARCA Menards Series Debut at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, February 15.
McFarland started the race 27th after qualifying was rained out the day prior, and was making good laps before dodging a massive wreck in the opening laps of the Ride the 'Dente 200.
Ride with Cleetus as he dodges the early wreck:
Shortly after the ensuing restart, McFarland's day came to an end after Amber Balcaen got loose and collected him and Kyle Steckly heading out of turn two.

After the incident, McFarland described today's race as the “best day of his life.”
