"Cleetus, you got something special here, bud. I appreciate ya." - Travis Pastrana Pastrana has been around, and to get such a genuine, hearth felt comment from someone with his resume... That HAS to feel good! Side note, I'm also SOOOOO proud of my fellow New Englanders, man! We're a different breed up here, but we do respect others! Sooo excited to hear it looks like you'll be coming back!
i don't think he was talking about cleetus' "skill" and more about the old crown vic races he holds. dude spun the pace car lmao he has a ways to go to be "good". these events on the other hand are very "good"
Next one at Newport Speedway in Newport TN, track was abandoned for years and bought back in April and he is pouring money into it. Would be a great story to help him reboot it!
Nice promo plug. I'll be keen to witness that, & I'm here in Aus... So get at it Yank... Friggin best Category this, Brethren of Bogan's Mohawks & Mullets.
I jumped off the stands to run to the bathroom and I just saw Sam, standing there, in-between crowds with maybe one or two people seeing him. Golden opportunity to go shake his hand, I loved seeing that smile in real life! He truly is just happy to be alive and high on life!
Watching you guys race these Crown Vics reminds me of the first couple of decades of NASCAR racing that I'm always reading about. Enjoy watching you guys run stock cars.
There's really only one way to settle this: ARM WRASSLIN ON THE HOOD OF A CROWN VIC! or thumb wrestlin on the center console of a honda. whatever is most convenient. and dont forget to livestream it for us fans. THANKS.
We need Fin and Dave on a race again tell the old man to make some time since yall are taking so long to release these damb road kill episodes @FinnegansGarage
The north east is absolutely starved for racing. It shows by the crowd. 20k people there is insane. WE NEED MORE TRACKS.. Glad Youre coming back next year, I will be there for sure
The SE isn't any better. Our local race track, that opened in the 60's, was recently sold to be turned into warehouses. The area around it developed and its proximity to the local shipping port made it highly desirable for commercial use. It was 149 acres and the sale price was not made public, but rumors are it was well over $50M. So I can't really blame the owners for cashing out on the land, but it stinks for the rest of us. They had top fuel there a few months before it closed, and there were events there year round, both the drag strip and race track. I believe Cleetus bought some of the grandstands from that track when it closed.
fr we have this place, Louden, Seekonk, and thats about it as far as I know we almost got an Indycar race in the seaport district, and tickets even went on sale, but the organizer was a fraud so it got cancelled last minute
I would love a new asphalt track in Western New York, or even more so a legit rally course. There is Watkins Glenn which is cool but i don't believe they do grass roots events.
Absolutely sick race again and top-notch production. Its incredibly refreshing to see a group of people that figured out how to make fun and hobbies into a career that millions can follow. Two thumbs way up for the killer content. My wife and I will be in florida for the christmas tree drags on our anniversary again this year. Regarding the "where to next" question though, Slinger Wisconsin has laid claim to "the world's fastest quarter mile oval" hosting hundreds of racers all the way up to Matt Kenseth... would be pretty neat to see you leave your mark there with all the greats of the past.

As a pizza maker for 25 years born and raised here in New Haven, I gotta say, this whole video just warms my heart brother! Thanks for coming to CT and can't wait for next year! I've also left several comments over the years saying how awesome it would be to set up a pizza shop at the Freedom Factory along with a pizza truck (with a 532! lol maybe not) to bring to the events. That would be an absolute dream job making some Freedom Pies!
@@codyology A lot of snowbirds here in CT that have winter homes in Florida, so I hear it all the time. "You'd make a killing if you opened up a place in Florida". It's like the first thing they do when they come back to CT is get a pizza. Once you get further south of NJ is goes downhill pretty quick lol.
I had a blast it was a joy meeting your mom. Your entire crew couldn’t be nicer I’m so glad that you all lived up to your personality. Literally one of the best events I’ve ever been to
I was at this race, and it was fucking incredible. The racing, the action, the energy in the crowd, the food, even the shenanigans in the parking lot when we were leaving (such as the kei truck with 6 dudes in it and an absurdly tall umbrella on the roof trying to squeeze through traffic)
As an Australian, Each and every time I watch you lads have some fun, my heart swells with joy and I feel like an American. Absolutely Love the gatherings of like minded souls!
Man, I'm so happy I found this channel years ago. this community you've created is unbelievable. Bet you never thought that THE Travis Pastrana would be yelling Hell Ya Brother as an ode to you. Keep killing it.
@@Shawn-Leider sure, Biffle is there which is awesome. My point is Travis isn't just there, he's a super fan of Cleet's. Even featured Mullet in his Hoonigan Subaru video in 2022.
Let me just say I was one of the 1st people into the gates that day. I showed up at like 11:30ish a.m. and from the minute I pulled into the parking lot till the minute I left the parking lot at 12:30ish a.m. I had the greatest time of my life! Greatest show I’ve ever been to. I had more fun than I could ever explain and I even got to meet Cleeter, he gave me a fist bump, took a pic with me, and signed my shirt! Btw he’s waaaaaay taller in person which is saying a lot. I even stayed a bit to just watch them move cars and ended up getting to talk with Zack and Kevin Smith. They all the coolest people ever. Cleeter is the first idol of mine I’ve ever met and it was the best experience I’ve ever had. Not only that, but I’ve seen some pretty freaking amazing firework shows throughout my life and Cleeter easily blew all of them out of the water and straight up stomped all over them. My only wish was that I wasn’t so damn star struck to meet Cleeter that I could actually talk and ask him for a job like I’d wanted too, but my brain literally turned to mush. Thanks again Cleeter for the greatest day of my life and I can’t wait to see you guys again next year!
Man that’s totally awesome! But, to be honest, I’m glad you didn’t ask for a job, that definitely could have/ probably would have ruined the end of this experience….You know he gets asked this a billion times so I’m glad for his sake and yours that you didn’t make that mistake l!
Bro that Drone pilot and drone was putting in some WORK! YO If this isn't the best example of how freaking genuinely talented Cleetus is! Travis is elite and Cleetus is not to far off. Kevin is a badass. This is some of the best racing I've seen in a long time. Such pure fun❤
The conversation at 4:35 made me laugh so hard, there is nothing better than spending your days, hanging with your mates, working, playing, and having a blast...
Think there automatic right, they stick to whatever car there set to...im sure thats how they work. They just track a certain vehicle like its a GPS coordinate and just follow it continuously....I think.
@lyndajones1133 yeah they are custom FPV drones you fly with a helmet that is recieving a signal from a camera and transmitter. Properly the DJI FPV system with an an air unit since the announcers said they could see the stream. There is also a GoPro attached to the top of the drone. To keep up the drone has 2306 motors and a 6s lipo.
Kevin(KSR) basically wins every event doesnt he? He is super underrated. Puts a whoppin on professional drivers of all different disciplines over and over again.
Yeah thank God he wins or we have to see the videos where he cries and blames people for not being "race car drivers". He had to delete that video though.
He has professional experience; there are videos of him working on a racing team. He wins and is consistently proven. How is he not getting recognition? What is up with his fans being like this? When he caused one of the worst wrecks, taking out #1 and #2, including a NASCAR driver, with both drivers physically hurt, his fans acted like it was a tragedy only for Kevin and his feelings, because he looked so down about it. Some couldn't handle it and blamed the guy he hit. He's a good guy but what in the world do his fans drink to be like this? He has no ego but his fans bring it for him. It's not normal to actually believe your fan favorite is better than everyone, including pro drivers; it's weird and repulsive.
@@ksmachinist3373Oh? I didn't know he deleted a video like that. Was it when him and Brent came in contact? Kept waiting on that video but never saw one pop up. 2 weeks passed the event kept hearing that there was still footage to go through and never saw it pop up.
Garrett, you are becoming one of the greatest entertainers of your time. The presence of mind to spin the pace car...... you made some infamous clips out of this. A Larry Mc Nugget for sure on the helmet toss. Well done to your entire team. Yup, he spun himself. A bit longer off the throttle at that angle and he saves it. Otherwise I see a standard racing incident. You and Derek had me rolling. HELL YEAH BROTHER from the croud was the best yet and gave me chills. You are making this Canadian want to come to Florida
@@CleetusMI totally get the watching my $$ burn literally comment those big Fireworks shows are 10-20k a Pop I know from working a Baseball Stadium and doing shows every Friday was a Big chunk of the Budget
The most in depth investigative journalism only here from Hibachi News! I was so locked into the race when it cut to Cleetus I about fell out of my chair laughing. Super entertaining!! Great race!!
These events keep getting better and better. Larry Mac commentator; the Biff in the race at the last minute; outstanding venue and large enthusiastic crowds. Kevin Smith is a wheelman. NASCAR better get their act together.
Brother, with the amount of mayhem you created... Id say even though the decision was paper thin, to say the least, you had that one coming. Thank you for the race! Hell yeah brother!!!
Cleet is the modern day ricky bobby.... driving with one hand and the other on the horn in the corner😂😂😂😂 what a "i wake up in the morning and i piss excellence" moment!
I think it speaks volumes to Kevin's awareness and talent as a driver. As you said, you gave him a little smooch, could he save it? Sure. But that quick thinking is what kept him in the front of the pack.
6:36 @CleetusM I notice frames going from 30fps to 60fps on this time stamp. If you are recording on iPhone go to Settings-Camera-Record Video-Auto FPS-OFF. I’ve seen it do this before on your channel. Hopefully that helps fix it. ILY
Awesome show! Fireworks were absolutely insane! If y’all are coming back next year, I’m definitely camping and staying the whole weekend! Sitting in that parking lot for an hour and a half after the show sucked.
I'm glad you were honest at the end and admitting to being more aggressive this race overall lol. You could have took Kev on the inside from his loss of momentum.... But I swear I had the biggest smile on my face knowing you couldn't resist that little bump! Hahahahahahaha Hell yeah Brother, great race, even though Kev caught it and embraced the spin anyway.... He still deserves the W.
RIP to my pace cars front bumper. You got robbed. "I bump you once you know I'm here, I bump you twice pick a lane, the third time I pick it for you" -The King, T.C.
LOL, I assume Garrett wrote you a check for that. Fantastic event mate and a wonderful track, you and the family should be proud of the first-class facility you have built there.
was it larry mcreynolds cause it sure as heck sounded like him and I've watched a lot of NASCAR races in the early to mid 2000's and I pretty much know his voice.
Garrett, I'm a huge fan from up in Niagara Falls Canada. My wife and I made the trip to Stafford for the New England 900 & Burnout Rivals - and you Sir did not disappoint! We attended both days and were absolutely blown away by the production. I can't say enough about the show, the facility, and the jaw dropping pyro display you put on. Thanks to VGG Derek for introducing us to you, & Looking forward to visiting the Freedom Factory for the Freedom 500 next spring. HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!
He’s An Ass-Licker… And “Flamboyantly” Over-Exaggerated. Really, His Character Is Quite Annoying… He Could Accomplish The Same Job Without All His Embellishment. At This Point… We’re To Believe Cleetus, Not Only Loves… But Needs George’s Tongue In His Crack.
Cleetus, this was my first 'cleetus' event as i live way up north all the time. Loved it! thank you so much for braving the northlands to bring us your awesomeness. i loved every single second of it, as well as Stafford Speedway. do more events in the north!! loved meeting Derek, as well as the surprises of Matt and Robby! I had the absolute best time there and maybe this fella has to take a trip down south soon! Thanks again for all you do. oh yea..one more thing. mount that airplane on a pole above the Freedom Factory like its in flight! that would be awesome! (after you take it around the track a few times of course!)
I flew to the Freedom Factory 2 years ago to watch the Freedom 500. This race was 90 min from my house and was so fun. Garrett and crew did their usual and was super accessible and put on a show. I'll be back next year!!!
Wow, what a showman. Remembering to grab the horn for the fans while throwing it into turn 1 one handed and still able to relay to the crew where the fluid was on the track. Greatest showman I've ever witnessed.
Here’s the deal brother. You know Kevin would have saved it on his own. So you tried to help him out thinking that it would look like he just spun out. He quickly called out your move and beat you at your own game lol Freakin awesome. This is what racing is about. Amazing sportsmanship! Hell ya brother
Mass isn’t very far away. Everyone that lives on or near the border of a state that’s legal crosses. My local place is 90% out of state tags in the parking lot.😂
I was rooting for George, flying squirrel! I am Shocked not only by how big the stands were, but also how packed they were! It shows youre doing good for the world and inspiring people to live
@@OutsideDuhBox If you aint trying you aint winning. Racing is about exploiting the gray areas, props to him being that competitive even tho he's more of a builder/fabricator than a racer
The man does math. MATH! What a sneak. 😁 Seriously though Kevin just has a solid understanding of racing and the physics of it, and puts it to use. He is also talented at turning a wheel.
Cleet so glad you had fun! you should and you have a great group of drivers that are also having fun and not getting all that hung up on where they finished. This is not some INDY event. It is a fun for you and the crowed event.
Kevin did get a break that time, but he raced his ass off and kind of deserved the W. I thought is was cool to see Kevin, Brent and Cleeter holding down the lead among pro drivers. That trio has performed well soo many times and it is cool to see old friends duking it out. Great success for Garrett Inc which I also celebrate.
@@irvingguillen7218the leader is the one who restarts the race after a caution, not the flagger. There are two lines across the track and we have to restart somewhere between those two lines.
I can't imagine how that "hell yeah brother" made y'all feel! Nice! And whoa, am I hearing Larry McReynold?! How did you make THAT happen?! Love Larry! And of course, Greg Biffle! Impressive.
Make sure you watch Kevin’s video. He explains why he was so good on the restarts and what line he was trying to drive. There’s a reason why he has won 5 of these events.
I think each race should have one random fan that races with yall. Pick them in a contest a few weeks before so you can make sure they are competent enough to race.
You played ping pong with Kevin every time you guys got near each other. Kevin got a clean win in a dirty race. I was laughing my ass off watching the livestream. Ole Georgie boy didn't do to bad either. Definitely was a cool track to watch.
Absolutely epic, this is one of the most intense Cletus videos since Leroy went 7s. 😉👍🇺🇲 Unbelievable camera angles, Drone footage, announcing, and the way the video was spliced together to show all the different perspectives.. 30 years ago this would have been a major Network and millions upon millions of dollars to get these kinds of shots, stuff like this would have only been available on network television, or cable. some of the finest Motorsports content not only on the internet, but in all of media. You cover all the bases, jet boats, Circle track, drag racing, hovercraft Sprint boat , trophy truck. But this has got to be the Cletus Channel finest work yet. Kept me on the edge of my seat more than any NASCAR race I've watched in years ..... genuine STOCK car racing, almost like the IROC series back in the day, but with literally STOCK cars, epic content!! Unreal crowd, it was like we were there, well done!😉👍 🤔 I'mma have to go with Cletus on this one, looks like Kevin lost his counter steer😉
Dr. Mr Cleetus, This was so much fun, It's cool to ride with you, I had a blast ! Thanks for the entertainment... Love the show ! Sir, You Know that you "Get what you Give". Yes ! you were robbed.! But You spun-out the pace car and for that you set "Karma"... No Worries the world still Loves You and "The Flying Squirrel" ... Thanks for Sharing.
This race looked super fun. I remember back wanting to enter my RX7 into some dirt track races. You are single handedly bringing it back to when is was a blast to drive. Hell yea Brother.. Keep it up.
I stuck my FC Rx7 on a dirt track once and it hated me for so long after that. I mean hate and rage after that run. 22 minutes in and it told me to go f myself for the next year lmao
@@Phantomhomes mine was a street ported 12a I wanted to enter it into the 4cyl class or the 6 cyl class whichever it fit in better. But I just never got to do it.
I sat next to him the whole race...He was fired up for sure, Surprised he could still talk he was yelling so much. Glad he got Cleets signature, He earned it!!
Dude, just watching this and paying attention to the FPV...damn those guys can fly!!! Also, amazing the drone can hang at those speeds so tightly and not fall off. Serious props to the crew behind that outfit. ...Meanwhile, Cleet literally tooting his own horn. 😂 Considering how many times KSR's been stiffed from other drivers spinning him at the last second, he earned this one regardless! Props to everyone driving as it seemed like most people were on point and kept from aggravating pileups/dodging cars when they got out of shape! Congrats to Kevin, Cleet, and the entire crew for putting on a solid race. 👍
This was good stuff, brother! The last wreck wasn’t your fault, but karma’s a beach. You were a lil too shady the rest of the race and it caught up to you 😂 That was fun to watch. I’ll definitely be back for the next ones 👊🏽
Hes 100% a “pro” driver…. Look who hes run out in front of successfully….tons of huge names! And this style of racing, with these cars makes the racing skill that much more obvious! You could put kevin, cleetus or pastrana in any world class racing event and would most likely qualify(pastrana has obviously proved this) plus….after watching KSRs channel its pretty obvious he is very intelligent and can apply that to his racing as well!
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication No doubt- it's also an all-consuming full time job. That being said...must be nice to know that IF you chose that route, there's a good chance that sponsors would support you just based on footage from these races, lol. Perfect lines every lap.
If you think I’m serious about getting robbed you’ve come to the wrong place 😂😂😂

As an Australian, Each and every time I watch you lads have some fun, my heart swells with joy and I feel like an American. Absolutely Love the gatherings of like minded souls!
Bro you are an American if u watch oval track racing lol. It don’t get anymore American.
I wish we had oval tracks ove4 here for cup racing the closest is mud track racing for sprintcars
Brother you can come take the spot of a few American's I know here!
I think your bringing the country, closer together. It's like a giant family with millions of people. Super cool content. Cleetus for President!
Man, I'm so happy I found this channel years ago. this community you've created is unbelievable. Bet you never thought that THE Travis Pastrana would be yelling Hell Ya Brother as an ode to you. Keep killing it.
Travis been around here a while tho it’s biffle I’m surprised to see
@@Shawn-Leider sure, Biffle is there which is awesome. My point is Travis isn't just there, he's a super fan of Cleet's. Even featured Mullet in his Hoonigan Subaru video in 2022.
Let me just say I was one of the 1st people into the gates that day. I showed up at like 11:30ish a.m. and from the minute I pulled into the parking lot till the minute I left the parking lot at 12:30ish a.m. I had the greatest time of my life! Greatest show I’ve ever been to. I had more fun than I could ever explain and I even got to meet Cleeter, he gave me a fist bump, took a pic with me, and signed my shirt! Btw he’s waaaaaay taller in person which is saying a lot. I even stayed a bit to just watch them move cars and ended up getting to talk with Zack and Kevin Smith. They all the coolest people ever. Cleeter is the first idol of mine I’ve ever met and it was the best experience I’ve ever had. Not only that, but I’ve seen some pretty freaking amazing firework shows throughout my life and Cleeter easily blew all of them out of the water and straight up stomped all over them. My only wish was that I wasn’t so damn star struck to meet Cleeter that I could actually talk and ask him for a job like I’d wanted too, but my brain literally turned to mush. Thanks again Cleeter for the greatest day of my life and I can’t wait to see you guys again next year!
Btw I'm glad the clutch disk guy got his marker back from Roman Atwood and got everyone’s signatures lol
Man that’s totally awesome! But, to be honest, I’m glad you didn’t ask for a job, that definitely could have/ probably would have ruined the end of this experience….You know he gets asked this a billion times so I’m glad for his sake and yours that you didn’t make that mistake l!
Thanks for your post. I'm sure that is what they set out to do. Give you an awesome experience. God Bless the country that makes this possible.
Bruh he would never give you a job lol
Bro that Drone pilot and drone was putting in some WORK!
YO If this isn't the best example of how freaking genuinely talented Cleetus is!
Travis is elite and Cleetus is not to far off.
Kevin is a badass.
This is some of the best racing I've seen in a long time.
Such pure fun❤
The conversation at 4:35 made me laugh so hard, there is nothing better than spending your days, hanging with your mates, working, playing, and having a blast...
You didn’t get robbed because you had fun and others loved watching it. You are an inspiration Cleetus.
Whoever is on the drone needs a raise, that's some sick ass footage.😮😮😮
Think there automatic right, they stick to whatever car there set to...im sure thats how they work. They just track a certain vehicle like its a GPS coordinate and just follow it continuously....I think.
@@Adamgreen735 no not the ones that there using. They are using custom drones that are not automatic there is a person flying them
you are sure or you think?
@lyndajones1133 yeah they are custom FPV drones you fly with a helmet that is recieving a signal from a camera and transmitter. Properly the DJI FPV system with an an air unit since the announcers said they could see the stream. There is also a GoPro attached to the top of the drone. To keep up the drone has 2306 motors and a 6s lipo.
@@lyndajones1133 I am 1000% sure I fly the same drones and have seen the drones they fly in the background. They are custom fpv drones
Kevin(KSR) basically wins every event doesnt he? He is super underrated. Puts a whoppin on professional drivers of all different disciplines over and over again.
Yeah thank God he wins or we have to see the videos where he cries and blames people for not being "race car drivers". He had to delete that video though.
He's good but I think everyone still holds a little bit of a grudge from him almost taking out the whole pack, I know I did for a little bit too.
He has professional experience; there are videos of him working on a racing team. He wins and is consistently proven. How is he not getting recognition? What is up with his fans being like this? When he caused one of the worst wrecks, taking out #1 and #2, including a NASCAR driver, with both drivers physically hurt, his fans acted like it was a tragedy only for Kevin and his feelings, because he looked so down about it. Some couldn't handle it and blamed the guy he hit. He's a good guy but what in the world do his fans drink to be like this? He has no ego but his fans bring it for him. It's not normal to actually believe your fan favorite is better than everyone, including pro drivers; it's weird and repulsive.
@@ksmachinist3373Oh? I didn't know he deleted a video like that. Was it when him and Brent came in contact? Kept waiting on that video but never saw one pop up. 2 weeks passed the event kept hearing that there was still footage to go through and never saw it pop up.
@@lanceuppercut6168 There's your answer. He has talked shit about multiple people, but not in a fun way. Watch any interview and he's a cocky douche.
Peak NASCAR in a Crown Vic race!? Hell yeah brother!
Garrett, you are becoming one of the greatest entertainers of your time. The presence of mind to spin the pace car...... you made some infamous clips out of this. A Larry Mc Nugget for sure on the helmet toss. Well done to your entire team. Yup, he spun himself. A bit longer off the throttle at that angle and he saves it. Otherwise I see a standard racing incident. You and Derek had me rolling.
HELL YEAH BROTHER from the croud was the best yet and gave me chills.
You are making this Canadian want to come to Florida
Come to CT next year.
Dude's an American legend at this point
That HELL YAH BROTHER gave me goosebumps! 👏🏻

@CleetusM, we appreciate you in CT!!
The techno beat you’ve been using in car gives me a fast and furious vibe with a hint of jackass party boy. Makes me chuckle every time
Made it three wide in the first 2 seconds lol
holy shit I thought of Chris soon as I heard that beat too 😂😂😂
07:01 Great to see Matt from Matt's Off Road Recovery there!
Dude, Greg Biffle is so cool! When he said he's got 12 of those Crown Vics and a dirt track on his property, I'm like, yeah that's goals for me, bro!
Man it’s a beautiful place it’s only about 3 mile from my house …
Sounded like an invite for Cleetus
The most in depth investigative journalism only here from Hibachi News! I was so locked into the race when it cut to Cleetus I about fell out of my chair laughing. Super entertaining!! Great race!!
These events keep getting better and better. Larry Mac commentator; the Biff in the race at the last minute; outstanding venue and large enthusiastic crowds. Kevin Smith is a wheelman. NASCAR better get their act together.
I was thinking the same thing. I did not tune into Nascar today, I turned this on and watched it..!!
@@ImJustAfunBBQ_rNascar is an a 2 week Olympic break.
Nah this should replace NASCAR.
Brother, with the amount of mayhem you created... Id say even though the decision was paper thin, to say the least, you had that one coming. Thank you for the race! Hell yeah brother!!!
Cleet is the modern day ricky bobby.... driving with one hand and the other on the horn in the corner😂😂😂😂 what a "i wake up in the morning and i piss excellence" moment!
God that horns annoying 😂
He is the de facto ''Florida Man'' personified.
I think it speaks volumes to Kevin's awareness and talent as a driver. As you said, you gave him a little smooch, could he save it? Sure. But that quick thinking is what kept him in the front of the pack.
He's a wheel man alright...... that car had some pep too, those restarts he was waaay faster off the mark. Not bad for a backup car?
6:36 @CleetusM I notice frames going from 30fps to 60fps on this time stamp. If you are recording on iPhone go to
Settings-Camera-Record Video-Auto FPS-OFF.
I’ve seen it do this before on your channel. Hopefully that helps fix it. ILY

Awesome show! Fireworks were absolutely insane! If y’all are coming back next year, I’m definitely camping and staying the whole weekend! Sitting in that parking lot for an hour and a half after the show sucked.
Rip my bumper on the first lap
Lmao
that was hilarious. not even 10 seconds in.

"Help me understand"
"I wouldn't believe it, but I have to cause I'm lookin right at it"
bro cleet was going insane right then😂
I'm glad you were honest at the end and admitting to being more aggressive this race overall lol. You could have took Kev on the inside from his loss of momentum.... But I swear I had the biggest smile on my face knowing you couldn't resist that little bump! Hahahahahahaha Hell yeah Brother, great race, even though Kev caught it and embraced the spin anyway.... He still deserves the W.
RIP to my pace cars front bumper.

LOL, I assume Garrett wrote you a check for that. Fantastic event mate and a wonderful track, you and the family should be proud of the first-class facility you have built there.
This a Ted Christopher quote?
To have America's Crew Chief calling a Cleetus race was just the damn coolest thing I seen.
was it larry mcreynolds cause it sure as heck sounded like him and I've watched a lot of NASCAR races in the early to mid 2000's and I pretty much know his voice.
Literally not the first time, glad it was yours.
You damn right. Awesome
Garrett, I'm a huge fan from up in Niagara Falls Canada. My wife and I made the trip to Stafford for the New England 900 & Burnout Rivals - and you Sir did not disappoint! We attended both days and were absolutely blown away by the production. I can't say enough about the show, the facility, and the jaw dropping pyro display you put on. Thanks to VGG Derek for introducing us to you, & Looking forward to visiting the Freedom Factory for the Freedom 500 next spring. HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!
Cleetus is an ANIMAL on the track!!! Love that you could make the race more fun and bend the rules a bit. Hell yeahhh brotherrr
When george said he wants to watch the kitchen it was like a kid telling his dad that. He's such a genuine guy I love his energy
He’s An Ass-Licker… And “Flamboyantly” Over-Exaggerated.
Really, His Character Is Quite Annoying… He Could Accomplish The Same Job Without All His Embellishment.
At This Point… We’re To Believe Cleetus, Not Only Loves… But Needs George’s Tongue In His Crack.
@27:22 "Oh my goodness, what just happened here on the front stretch? Cleetus just spun out the pace car!" 🤣🔥
That crowd "Hell yea brother" was off the charts! Keep heading North brother, lot of energy up here for you.
Cleetus, this was my first 'cleetus' event as i live way up north all the time. Loved it! thank you so much for braving the northlands to bring us your awesomeness. i loved every single second of it, as well as Stafford Speedway. do more events in the north!! loved meeting Derek, as well as the surprises of Matt and Robby! I had the absolute best time there and maybe this fella has to take a trip down south soon! Thanks again for all you do. oh yea..one more thing. mount that airplane on a pole above the Freedom Factory like its in flight! that would be awesome! (after you take it around the track a few times of course!)
I flew to the Freedom Factory 2 years ago to watch the Freedom 500. This race was 90 min from my house and was so fun. Garrett and crew did their usual and was super accessible and put on a show. I'll be back next year!!!
Wow, what a showman. Remembering to grab the horn for the fans while throwing it into turn 1 one handed and still able to relay to the crew where the fluid was on the track.
Greatest showman I've ever witnessed.
Here’s the deal brother. You know Kevin would have saved it on his own. So you tried to help him out thinking that it would look like he just spun out. He quickly called out your move and beat you at your own game lol
Freakin awesome. This is what racing is about. Amazing sportsmanship!
Hell ya brother

now theres a quote from the movie days of thunder. i love it!!
@@terryfoust4802 I cited my source ! :)
Kevin is a driving machine. The way he saved Soccer Mom last year was amazing. This just proves it.
I was just thinking the exact same thing. He’s literally at the front of every single one of these races.
Pastrana and PFI Brent are usually up there also. But, Kevin is quite the driver. @jamesrobinson2138
Kevin can drive.
Someone get that man in a NASCAR
Kevin has also been responsible for the biggest crow vic pile up to date.
I was rooting for George, flying squirrel! I am Shocked not only by how big the stands were, but also how packed they were! It shows youre doing good for the world and inspiring people to live
You caused it brother. You were driving like a wild man.
The fact Kevin is almost ALWAYS the final boss off the race NEEDS to be appreciated more. That man can fkn drive.
Meh...dudes a try hard...and uses sneaky tactics...idk his vibes are off to me.
@@OutsideDuhBox If you aint trying you aint winning. Racing is about exploiting the gray areas, props to him being that competitive even tho he's more of a builder/fabricator than a racer
@naufalkusumah2192 difference between a tryer...and a tryHARD bro..iykyk
The man does math. MATH! What a sneak. 😁 Seriously though Kevin just has a solid understanding of racing and the physics of it, and puts it to use. He is also talented at turning a wheel.
He can pit, too
You always hear rubbing is racing but I think cleet is trying to cuddle 😂😂😂
Cleet so glad you had fun! you should and you have a great group of drivers that are also having fun and not getting all that hung up on where they finished. This is not some INDY event. It is a fun for you and the crowed event.
u got robbed and the fan asking for a signature was a super cool interaction! i love when you show cool or funny fan interactions!
Kevin did get a break that time, but he raced his ass off and kind of deserved the W. I thought is was cool to see Kevin, Brent and Cleeter holding down the lead among pro drivers. That trio has performed well soo many times and it is cool to see old friends duking it out.
Great success for Garrett Inc which I also celebrate.
From what I saw Kevin jumped every restart he drove his ass off but to say he deserved the win is a stretch not to mention him spinning himself out
@@irvingguillen7218 he was the race leader,he is the first one on the gas!
@@irvingguillen7218the leader is the one who restarts the race after a caution, not the flagger. There are two lines across the track and we have to restart somewhere between those two lines.
Cleat just spinning out anything that moves😂
FR hahahahah
I can't imagine how that "hell yeah brother" made y'all feel! Nice!
And whoa, am I hearing Larry McReynold?! How did you make THAT happen?! Love Larry! And of course, Greg Biffle! Impressive.
Make sure you watch Kevin’s video. He explains why he was so good on the restarts and what line he was trying to drive. There’s a reason why he has won 5 of these events.
I think each race should have one random fan that races with yall. Pick them in a contest a few weeks before so you can make sure they are competent enough to race.
You played ping pong with Kevin every time you guys got near each other. Kevin got a clean win in a dirty race. I was laughing my ass off watching the livestream. Ole Georgie boy didn't do to bad either. Definitely was a cool track to watch.
Absolutely epic, this is one of the most intense Cletus videos since Leroy went 7s. 😉👍🇺🇲
Unbelievable camera angles, Drone footage, announcing, and the way the video was spliced together to show all the different perspectives..
30 years ago this would have been a major Network and millions upon millions of dollars to get these kinds of shots, stuff like this would have only been available on network television, or cable.
some of the finest Motorsports content not only on the internet, but in all of media.
You cover all the bases, jet boats, Circle track, drag racing, hovercraft Sprint boat , trophy truck. But this has got to be the Cletus Channel finest work yet.
Kept me on the edge of my seat more than any NASCAR race I've watched in years ..... genuine STOCK car racing, almost like the IROC series back in the day, but with literally STOCK cars, epic content!!
Unreal crowd, it was like we were there, well done!😉👍
🤔
I'mma have to go with Cletus on this one, looks like Kevin lost his counter steer😉
Cleetus just bullying the track at this point. A for showmanship, that man can drive.
The pace car spin out was golden! 😂
“He’s about the only one you hadn’t hit so far” 🤣🤣
I’ve always loved Biffle’s energy and humor!
Cleetus races dirty. 😂
Buddy at the end with the clutch looks like he just had a Columbian salad with some Escobar dressing . Good shit 😂👌
Dr. Mr Cleetus, This was so much fun, It's cool to ride with you, I had a blast ! Thanks for the entertainment... Love the show !
Sir, You Know that you "Get what you Give". Yes ! you were robbed.! But You spun-out the pace car and for that you set "Karma"... No Worries the world still Loves You and "The Flying Squirrel" ... Thanks for Sharing.
Why did you call him a doctor? 🤣
Did Jackstand do those donuts to get the caution thrown for boss man Cleet? classic nascar move ahahahahahahaha
He is always scheming
This race looked super fun. I remember back wanting to enter my RX7 into some dirt track races. You are single handedly bringing it back to when is was a blast to drive. Hell yea Brother.. Keep it up.
I stuck my FC Rx7 on a dirt track once and it hated me for so long after that. I mean hate and rage after that run. 22 minutes in and it told me to go f myself for the next year lmao
@@Phantomhomes mine was a street ported 12a I wanted to enter it into the 4cyl class or the 6 cyl class whichever it fit in better. But I just never got to do it.
I love the "because I hit their pace car........ so many times." Awesome race guys, and congrats to KSR for another win!
Had such a great time meeting you and all the guys up here in CT. Thank for a great show as always!
NO WAY the dude with the clutch waited 😂 everyone in the stands was wondering why he was carrying that. Lmao
I sat next to him the whole race...He was fired up for sure, Surprised he could still talk he was yelling so much. Glad he got Cleets signature, He earned it!!
@@charliefranklin2713 no joke! Fired up for sure! All good people there haha.
Welcome to New England, I've waited so long for you guys to come up this way. That was the best weekend. HELL YEAH BROTHER
Dude, just watching this and paying attention to the FPV...damn those guys can fly!!! Also, amazing the drone can hang at those speeds so tightly and not fall off. Serious props to the crew behind that outfit.
...Meanwhile, Cleet literally tooting his own horn. 😂 Considering how many times KSR's been stiffed from other drivers spinning him at the last second, he earned this one regardless! Props to everyone driving as it seemed like most people were on point and kept from aggravating pileups/dodging cars when they got out of shape!
Congrats to Kevin, Cleet, and the entire crew for putting on a solid race. 👍
Now this is racing!!!!
No big sponsors , no million dollar cars, no point standings and racing for a lawnmower… having fun
This was good stuff, brother! The last wreck wasn’t your fault, but karma’s a beach. You were a lil too shady the rest of the race and it caught up to you 😂
That was fun to watch. I’ll definitely be back for the next ones 👊🏽
That was payback for spinning the pace car.
@@ryanlamfers8692 😂👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed CT Cleetus, can’t wait for you to come back. Had a great time at the event!!!
Everyone got robbed that LSG didn't get the win, and we don't get to see a couple of idiots in Orange
At this point I'm convinced that Kevin is a 0.01% driver that just happened to not go pro.
Modern day professional racing takes funding that I do not have. I hope to run a NASCAR truck race one day, just for fun
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication you're one heck of a wheel man!
Hes 100% a “pro” driver…. Look who hes run out in front of successfully….tons of huge names! And this style of racing, with these cars makes the racing skill that much more obvious! You could put kevin, cleetus or pastrana in any world class racing event and would most likely qualify(pastrana has obviously proved this) plus….after watching KSRs channel its pretty obvious he is very intelligent and can apply that to his racing as well!
@@NotAnotherMitnick any time I’ve seen cleet do road course stuff it’s looked pretty atrocious. I really doubt he’d do that great in top tier racing.
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication No doubt- it's also an all-consuming full time job. That being said...must be nice to know that IF you chose that route, there's a good chance that sponsors would support you just based on footage from these races, lol. Perfect lines every lap.
So cool seeing you guys at Sally’s. I had a wedding this weekend so couldn’t go but please do come back to CT because I’ll 100% be there.
Cleeter, that was one heck of a show! From NASCAR greats, Pastrana, Larry Mac, and more, just wow! Hell yeah brother!!!
