2:24Cleetus lays out the plans for Leroy, McFlurry and Mullet in the pits.
4:31Brett LaSala and Cleetus compare notes on record attempts and track conditions.
6:44Leroy's personal-best qualifying pass begins here.
10:48Jackstand Jimmy launches McFlurry, with a hard bump interrupting the run.
14:01Pete prepares Mullet for another trip down the strip.

Zack has a particular reason to celebrate Leroy's latest personal best: the car has skipped an entire bracket of times. "We ain't never even gone a 6.60! We went right from 70s to 50s!" he says after Cleetus McFarland's qualifying run at Maryland International Raceway.

That 6.57-second pass anchors the week's most-watched upload, "World Cup Day 3: Leroy DESTROYS His Record, Damage From HUGE Wheelie!" The episode gives the other lanes some attention too, including runs by Grannas and Brett LaSala. Viewers specifically ask for more of that wider coverage, saying it helps put the team's performances in perspective. Zack's dedication and Pete's attachment to the cars also become talking points.

The next installment brings the less comfortable half of the weekend. In "World Cup Day 4: We Beat Ourselves... Small Mistakes Ruined Our Race Day", Cleetus describes a rough outing in which the team effectively took itself out of all three races. A personal best and a successful race day are not necessarily the same thing.

Then the scenery changes. Carson Hocevar joins the oval-track spectator drags, with a Porsche Turbo S, Corvette ZR1 and Tesla Plaid in the mix. "I Finally Got Blessed... & the Blazer Returns!!!" brings Hocevar, Denny Hamlin, actor and podcaster Dax Shepard, and Vanilla Ice to the Freedom Factory. That newest upload is drawing the most daily views of any video on the channel right now, followed by the Carson outing.

The channel added about 10,000 subscribers across the week, although its current daily views are below their usual level. Among nearby motoring channels, TheStradman and Engineering Explained are enjoying elevated daily viewing. Cleetus's own week stretches from a breakthrough in Leroy to a returning Blazer running in the eight-second range.

It’s great seeing Pete’s face lighting up, these cars are just as much his babies as they are Cleets.
