Cleetus McFarland isn't announcing another one-off race. He and George McNutt are committing to the full ARCA Menards Series schedule in 2027, taking their racing partnership into a season that stretches from Daytona to Kansas.
"We committed to 2027 to run the full ARCA season," McFarland says near the start of "I Said I'd NEVER Do This!" The announcement has drawn roughly 727,000 views since yesterday.
For viewers accustomed to Mullet and Leroy testing at the drag strip, this is a different kind of undertaking: a full stock-car campaign with Rette Jones Racing and Richard Childress Racing. McNutt shows off his car's switch from Ford to Chevrolet, while McFarland explains that RCR offered to build an ARCA team inside its operation.
The scale becomes clearer in the garage. Crew chief Bug says RCR will build seven dedicated cars to cover different track types. Pit crew members demonstrate tire changes, and McFarland explores the enormous toolboxes and storage drawers that support the racing operation. This isn't simply a new paint scheme on a familiar project.
Still, the most personal reveal belongs to Mr. Sam. He joins McFarland to uncover a green-and-black Chevrolet wearing his spray-wax business's livery, then accompanies him to Richard Childress's office to thank the team owner. Viewers keep returning to Sam's role in the announcement, with one highlighting his immediate attention to the car's shine. Others ask that the bigger racing commitment leave room for the channel's cheap-car experiments and shop antics.
McFarland supplies some of that familiar mischief before leaving: he borrows Danny Stockman's white Chevrolet pickup for a smoky burnout. The full-season plans are serious; the garage manners haven't entirely changed.
