Cleetus McFarland’s 2026 NASCAR Racing Schedule
What’s Happening? Despite his internet fame, Garrett Mitchell, by his screen name Cleetus McFarland, has recently taken to stock car racing…
Cleetus McFarland is headed to Nashville Superspeedway for his second career start in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and his first start at the Tennessee track as part of his three-race agreement with Richard Childress Racing for the 2026 season.
His first outing came on April 4, 2026, at Rockingham Speedway, where he drove the No. 33 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing in his series debut. That debut, however, turned into a baptism by fire as McFarland spun on Lap 206 during the race, ultimately finishing 32nd.
For fans planning to follow McFarland from the opening laps of practice all the way to the fall of the checkered flag, the Nashville weekend will be another chance to watch the internet figure continue his transition from viral burnouts into the world of national-series stock car racing.
Practice and qualifying from Nashville Superspeedway will air on the CW App, with the green flag scheduled for 2:00 p.m. ET and 3:05 p.m. ET on Saturday, respectively. Fans can stream both sessions without hitting a sign-up wall, as the app does not require an account.
The race itself will air live on The CW, which is available on cable, satellite, and antenna. The network is also available through Live TV Streaming providers such as DirecTV Stream and fuboTV.
For viewers limited in their options, or who miss the live action, full-race replays will be available on the CW App the following day. The app will also provide live in-car camera feeds throughout the event.
For listeners planning to follow the race through radio coverage while traveling or driving, the broadcast will be handled by the Performance Racing Network (PRN). PRN also offers a live stream through its website free of charge, along with coverage through the NASCAR App.
Fans can stream the race directly from the PRN homepage, where the live player typically becomes active shortly before the event begins. The network also provides a standalone application through both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for users who prefer mobile listening.
Meanwhile, the official NASCAR Mobile App will give fans free access to PRN’s live radio broadcast. Users can either enter the race-weekend “Scanner” section or access the live leaderboard screen to tune in to coverage. For SiriusXM subscribers, PRN’s race broadcast will also be simulcast on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
