How Cleetus McFarland got here
Garrett Mitchell's Cleetus McFarland character escaped an early 1320Video sketch and became a full motorsports world: named drag cars, home-built engineering, live pay-per-view races, an oval track, a drag strip and eventually professional stock-car starts.
Timeline
- 1320Video
Garrett worked in automotive media at 1320Video, where the exaggerated Cleetus persona first caught on with viewers.
