I love how he's a talented car builder and driver in his own right but constantly undersells it to be the detail guy. He's damn good at it and the cleet fleet never looked so good but he's also out there doing drag n drive events, ripping his own monsters, and working on his collection at his personal shop. Love that guy, I hope to be half as cool when I'm his age
Just so you non-cleetus fans are tracking; Mr. Sam is a military vet, an outstanding machinist, and a car builder. The guy knows his way around a race car shop to say the least. He is retired but hangs out w cleetus and the boys for something to do, and it's fun as hell lol. The guys truly think of Mr. Sam as a member of the family. He is AWESOME!!
I think he did a great job as co-driver with EJ during Sick Week. He kept her cool and calm and painstakingly coached her how to drive and race the car.
Sam is so much more than a detailer. He is a very accomplished machinist and can hold his own on a drag strip. He is also one of the biggest supporters of the whole Cleetus crew.
@@kane2103 Have you watched any of the Drag and Drive content that is on Cleets channel? Because apparently not, or you would see that Sam does in fact drag race cars. Nobody ever said the vehicles he is driving were fast, but IIRC hes been low 11's high 10s.
Its great how the comment section is showing so much love towards Sam. Every video he is in you can tell he is living the best life possible. One of the best additions to the Cleetus crews ever.
@Dontdelete420 he a full car shop where he builds cars at his house. that shop also has a machine shop attached where he occasionally fixes things for Garrett. But here is his own statements from his website. Who is Mr. Sam? Sam began life in the Air Force serving in Vietnam. When he came back he became a toolmaker apprentice and then journeyman. Later in life as an entrepreneur he began a company focused on developing, producing, and bottling specialty chemicals and car care products. A few years back Sam sold his company and retired, but brought his life work of proprietary car care products with him. Today we know this as Sam’s Care Care Products. Sam’s Car Care Products are a result of decades of chemistry, product refinement, and a passion for creating something better. As 78 year old super car enthusiast who has spent his life involved with and owning a variety of hot rods. From Turbo Porsches to 55 Chevys, from Asphalt Circle Track Cars to Numbers matching 69 DZ302 Z28 Camaros, Sam has an undying love for everything automotive, and these products are his contribution to the hobby. These products are not born from the need to have a product, but rather a need for creating products that perform above and beyond Sam’s expectations as an automotive enthusiast. We hope you love these products and that they help keep your car, boat, or truck in as great shape as Sam keeps his fleet of toys!
I happened to be around the McFarland booth inside as the pit party wrapped up and the line dissipated on Sunday. Walked right up to Mr. Sam, shook his hand, and had a very pleasant conversation with him. Asked him to sign my hat, and I'm pleased to say his signature is front, center, and the classiest haha Definitely the most genuine interaction I had at Bristol, and that's not taking anything away from anyone else that I met. What a great dude, I so glad he's along for the ride
It's a pleasure too see nearly all of the comments are about Sam. That man is a living legend and has experienced and living the life most could only dream of
Brilliant 👏 i watched it on the live stream . Sam is a National treasure they never mentioned he was a plane mechanic in the air force ether his best accolade 💯
The very best thing about Cleetus is that he somehow managed to assemble the best people in the world to join his crew and be his friends. They all get paychecks, but they all do this because this amazing dream they are all living is shared and loved.
Sam is such an awesome person! ❤ we should all aspire to get to his level of happiness with life. Nothing gets this man down, except when Cleetus scratched the Supra.
Sam has quite the history. Garett has tried to pay him and he says his sales on his products are doing so well it's more than enough and won't take a dime. There are a few pod casts with Sam, great guy.
Gotta love Cleetus! Gives the people a amazing show, but is also very responsible with safety always coming first. True Car Enthusiast giving back to the community🙏
I've watched every Cleetus video for about 8 years. This is the first time I've seen it on the news. I'm in Australia but some random regional American news channel popped up. I normally delete any American news channel rubbish, but, this was great. A third party view of Cleeter
When the camera switched to her and she said "these are the nitrous powerd crown vics" that when i knew... we Fckin made it boys. Shout out to cleetus crew and and the fellow fans like myself.
Hell yeah brother!!! This guy is awesome. Long live the freedom factory They even got Sam. This man is pure gold. Very sweet man full of knowledge and experience
ive been to the show in Bristol both years and down to FL a bunch, this will be like one of thoes shows that travel to different venues all threw the country every year like other motor sport teams

Mr. Sam is our new spokesperson.
A true professional. Congratulations Garrett and the entire team! 👍
All the love for Sam!
Look all the comments on this video are about him almost
Sam's got them 99's in his pocket at all times!
Have Sam do an info-mercial about the Freedom Factory.
Sam is the most universally loved figure on RUclips!
Love me some Sam
Sam would be a grandpa to 500k people if we could all adopt him 😂
Can you back that up with any proof!!!

The majority of the continents is filled with Sam

And, believe it or not, the man is 78 years young! Still crushing.
HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!
Don't forget his own line of car cleaning products.
I think he did a great job as co-driver with EJ during Sick Week. He kept her cool and calm and painstakingly coached her how to drive and race the car.
Also... the only person who can wear (rock!) a hoodie sweatshirt tucked in! He is an absolute treasure of a man!
Sam is so much more than a detailer. He is a very accomplished machinist and can hold his own on a drag strip. He is also one of the biggest supporters of the whole Cleetus crew.
Dude never mentions he’s a full machinist, he’s beyond humble
Don't forget he is also a veteran that served his country! I hope one day to get the opportunity to meet him, shake his hand and say thank you!
Did you see him try to run some cars down the 1/4m , he is not a drag racer.

Glaze gone wild
Sam has been on like 10 RUclips channels and now the news, what a legend.

Our Boy Made the News. And Sam is such an inspiration. Wish the world had a lot more people that are kind and caring as Sam the Man.
*Cherished American Treasure*
Its great how the comment section is showing so much love towards Sam. Every video he is in you can tell he is living the best life possible. One of the best additions to the Cleetus crews ever.
I was about to say the same thing. Sam is the man!
Sam is a legend, you and your crew are so honored to have him on your team. Go Giraffe Go win that camaro
Cleeter making the news is kinda normal, but still fun. The news showing some love for Sam, now that is awesome. Lets GO!
SAM is a national treasure. He is also a machinist and a very knowledgable and capable mechanic. He must be protected at all cost!
Can you back that up with any proof!!!
@@Dealete420 What a morhonic comment.
Agreed.
He's also into metallurgy.

Glad to see Sam getting into the spotlight. He deserves it and his products are all I use.
Sam fills in the hole that the sudden death of Ed leaves in our hearts. The boys will always be doing it for Ed first, then Dale.
Hell yeah brother!!
Sam is the most amazing member of the team! Also awesome detailing products!
Sam is such an inspiration!
Sam in here naming off ways to detail a car like Bubba in Forrest Gump naming off ways to cook shrimp 😂😂😂😂
Legend!
Such great entertainment and Sam is a legend.

Sam certainly won the retirement lottery! He deserves it as well, one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life.
@@KevinHuff23 He works full time.
@@stuwest3653 he's technically retired, but man's still putting in more work than most of us lol
@@Sk1m_Beeble He's technically not retired. As I said, he is a full time employee. Get a clue.
@@stuwest3653 Wow, you must be so fun at parties.
It's a pleasure too see nearly all of the comments are about Sam. That man is a living legend and has experienced and living the life most could only dream of
