Cleetus McFarland Biography

Cleetus McFarland, born Lawrence Garrett Mitchell, is an American YouTuber and automotive entrepreneur known for his presence in the motorsports community. Mitchell first gained recognition as the social media manager for 1320Video, where he developed the comedic persona Cleetus McFarland. This character resonated with car enthusiasts and led Mitchell to launch his own YouTube channel, which has attracted more than four million subscribers. His content features high-performance car builds, drag racing, and automotive stunts, establishing him as a figure in online car culture.

Mitchell expanded his automotive business ventures by purchasing and revitalizing the abandoned Desoto Speedway in Florida, transforming it into Freedom Factory, a venue for major motorsports events and content creation. He hosts large-scale events such as "Cleetus and Cars" and invests in businesses like Motion Raceworks, contributing to his influence in the automotive industry. Notable builds, including the exo-caged Corvette Leroy and the purpose-built race car Mullet, have set records and attracted attention among gearheads and racing fans.

Mitchell's work as a public speaker and entertainer is marked by his ability to engage audiences with humor, authenticity, and technical knowledge. He has discussed the challenges of leaving law school to pursue automotive content and has addressed the risks and responsibilities of motorsports, advocating for safety improvements after incidents at his events. Mitchell's career highlights innovation in automotive entertainment, entrepreneurship, and community engagement within the car culture and motorsports sectors.
