Video summary
Press to jump
- 1:24At Orlando Speed World, Cleetus lays out the Starlet matchups and the unequal wagers.
- 3:20Pete Harrell checks in as Cleetus shows Mullet's newly approved door jambs.
- 6:26Two-step testing gives way to troubleshooting a fuel injector before the team reaches the staging lanes.
- 8:54The Starlet drivers draw numbers to determine who races first.
- 10:48The first matchup begins against a green Toyota Starlet.
- 18:05The second round launches against the brown Starlet called La Toxica.
"Welcome to Toyotathon," Cleetus McFarland says, checking in with Pete Harrell before Mullet takes on a lineup of Toyota Starlets. Between approved door jambs, a troublesome fuel injector and drivers drawing their racing order from a bin, the week's most watched upload gives the preparation almost as much personality as the passes.
"Mullet vs. Starlets - $35,000 On the Line!" has reached roughly 1.7 million views. It opens with a Factor-sponsored kitchen segment before moving to Orlando Speed World, where Victor Alvarez and Jackstand Jimmy join the proceedings. The comments pick up on the crew's money-versus-glory banter, George's reminder about an earlier red light and the friendly exchanges between drivers. Viewers are even proposing Starlet-shaped victory stickers for Mullet.
The other two uploads give that outing a bigger racing-week frame. "Big Mullet DESTROYED His Fastest Pass EVER!" follows testing that produces a personal best, while Leroy needs more work; that video is sponsored by AG1. Then "I Said I'd NEVER Do This!" takes Cleetus and George to Richard Childress Racing to announce full-time ARCA racing with Rette Jones Racing and RCR. The announcement has the strongest momentum now and had the quickest first day of the three.
Across the channel, daily views are running above their usual pace, although subscribers were unchanged over seven days. Nearby in the motoring world, DailyDrivenExotics is also enjoying above-usual daily viewing, while Westen Champlin's subscriber count grew. For Cleetus, all three new uploads have already passed a million views, with the Starlet outing remaining the week's most watched.
