YouTube star Garrett Mitchell, known as Cleetus McFarland, will race full time in the 2027 ARCA Menards Series for Richard Childress Racing. He’ll drive the No. 33 Chevrolet, with Robert Strmiska as crew chief. The move follows a part-time 2026 schedule across ARCA and NASCAR’s O’Reilly and Truck series.

By the Numbers
  • 2027: McFarland’s first full-time ARCA season.
  • 2026: His best ARCA finish was second at Talladega.
Bottom Line

McFarland moves from a part-time mix of races to a full ARCA campaign backed by RCR—a major opportunity to build his stock-car experience week after week.
