"I got my butt kicked, man": Cleetus McFarland got candid about his Bristol Motor Speedway run
Earlier this month, NASCAR ARCA Menards Racing Series driver Cleetus McFarland competed at Bristol Motor Speedway. He drove the #30 entry for Rette Jones Racing, marking his fourth start of the season. However, he was surprised by his fellow driver's performance at the track.
The YouTube sensation qualified 20th for the main event at the short track. He was competing at the half-mile oval track for the first time and juggled his spot between 15th and 20th in the race. Previously, he finished inside the top 10 drivers on the grid at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Reflecting on the difference between the two tracks, Cleetus McFarland told the FrontStretch media:
"I got my butt kicked, man. I think, as far as tracks where the driver's skills show the most, I found the one out of the four I've done because these guys put on a clinic for me. I think I started 20th or somewhere in there, because someone in front of me had to go to the back, and I ended 18th.”
“I'm not excited, I'm not mad, but those dudes in the front, oh my gosh! I don't have doors, or they'd be blown off because they were so fast,” he added.
Cleetus McFarland wrapped up the Bristol Motor Speedway event in P17. Additionally, during his debut race at Daytona, he got involved in multiple wrecks before he logged a P30 finish. He then clinched a P10 finish at Talladega Superspeedway and secured a career-best finish at Charlotte Motor Speedway, securing ninth place.
