2021 Freedom 500 Presented By Summit Racing Equipment (FULL RACE)

This year's Freedom 500 was kind of a S$%^ show, but we sure had a heck of a time! Hoping the next race can be far cleaner, but dang it was still awesome!

[cleetusmcfarland]

Finally got this up for you boys! Although the carnage was fantastic, i'm hoping for some cleaner faster racing this fall at the 2.4 Hours of LeMullets!

[mrpenland]

i love the summit van, but i think a white bronco in front of all those old police cars would of been epic, lol

[wolfdongle]

You should be proud of what you have created. You spent a year sinking everything you have into a vision and putting it all on the line while most of the world was in hiding. You absolutely deserve all the success you are seeing. Wishing you all the best.

[Arturro]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Garrett. I really looked forward to watch this.

[Themenace-]

Hell yeah brother that’s tonight sorted! Chill on the sofa and re watch the crazy freedom 500!!

[g_men]

If the audio wasnt so choppy. For the next PPV, try having 2 mics in the booth for each announcer. One for the live PPV, and another recording it.

[dr.strangelove]

Spenser screaming all night defeats the coolness of having a pro NASCAR announcer!

[twothreebravo]

If Spence's job is to pump up the crowd he shouldn't be talking over the broadcasters on the TV Feed. There should be someone switching him over the local PA and over the air, he shouldn't be able to just walk on top of them whenever.

[wiskyr]

54:35 just want to mention that the fact that there was no contact here is nothing short of amazing

[michaelbarse]

Watching Randy In the driver's meetings took me back to the racing day so hard that I am building another race car. Can't wait to run-down at Desoto speedway again. Thank you for saving this old jem

[cadencecreeker]

Thank you Cleeter! I am glad that I got to watch the race. Congrats to Kevin! Sorry, But I too think that someone needs to tell Spencer that he is on Microphone time out... Or, just take the batteries out of his microphone after the Star Spangle Banner.

[Arturro]

Now I had time to watch it. I don't know what folks were complaining about. It was just great. Once again - THANK YOU.

[PFIBrent]

Such a rowdy race!! You Dont deserve 3 vehicles 😂 I proceed to finish in Bowman’s car 🤣

[lsmith]

Mr. Mitchell you Sir are an amazing person with all you do you have put together so many amazing events and with the freedom 500 on ppv but also on your channel for free, rebuilding the ff giving to those who would not normally have the opportunity to come and see the cars and events with out your generosity, (the kid you invited to the track with his disability) you truly are a man to be admired by many THANK YOU FOR BEING AN AWESOME PERSON. Florida should give you an award

[OlePittyP]

Spence is tooo spicy.. get that boy a water and take the mic from him

[dwcraggs]

Cleetus, I've been watching your development/progress for the last couple of years. I love your progress in the actual development of your vehicles, technology in your builds, but more especially, the FUN that you promote in your events that builds the fan base! I was involved in Drag Boat racing while I was in Law School in Austin, Tx back in the late '60's and segued into co-announcing the races with a very good friend of mine from Austin. We had a GREAT TIME, and got to where we were we were being hired to announce other races throughout the US for the next 17-20 years because of our announcing techniques that greatly entertained the crowds, some of which were a little bit provocative and spicey! It made fun and the crowd loved it. You are doing excellent promotion, fun product, great participation from competitors. It is a fun get-away for them to come PLAY and be around others of the same mind-set. I need to come see y'all next time you come to Houston, or Texas since the Houston dragstrip is shutting down next spring. You have a great bunch of guys working with you! Keep it going!

[MaxFluff]

Spencer could be a hype man but it doesn't sound good on the live stream its to much screaming and talking over the announcers

[spyburn]

Spencer should choose mic or beers. Not both

[DanAdamsoutdoors]

I gotta say of all the car dudes out there, Cleetus is a good dude! Could reference a bunch of examples but the one I'll mention here is the price of the spectator tickets. $40 and $15 for kids. With all of the YouTube stars at this event, he could have gone for the throat/gold by charging $100 or more but nope, good guy Cleetus charging a fair price for fair racing. Great work!
