After urging from Dale Earnhardt Jr. and several others, Cleetus McFarland (real name Garrett Mitchell) has finally purchased his own Pro Late Model. He unveiled the No. 33 Rette Jones Racing Pro Late Model in a recent YouTube video, and hopes to perfect his racecraft with it as he continues his climb up the NASCAR ladder.
Cleetus did a full day of testing with his new Pro Late Model at Tri-County Speedway recently, and it seemed to go well even with a minor spin partway through the session. He plans to race in an upcoming late model event at Berlin Raceway in Michigan this year. He also wants to take part in the late model races he hosts at the Freedom Factory -- a 3/8-mile oval he owns in Florida.
