• With over 4 million subscribers on YouTube, Garrett Mitchell is by far one of the leaders in online and automotive content creation. However, his switch to part-time stock car racing is a new direction for the content creator.
• Mitchell made his shocking debut after preseason testing an ARCA car, NASCAR’s fourth-tier touring series, at Daytona International Speedway. Though he has a minimal oval racing background, Mitchell has been open about his pursuit of racing the Daytona 500 one day and is starting at the ground floor with the ARCA Menards Series.
