Boys, let me just tell you this was the most "WINGED" thing i've ever done! We had 12 people hired to operate the cameras, and 3 showed up... The first 30 laps or so the team was just getting on their feet and the production gets WAY better after that! Also, our audio feed to our announcers got cut at the very end lol, but they fixed it right before the last green. It was our first shot at a pay per view and I think our team crushed it given the circumstances!!!! Haters will hate...
Cleetus2 McFarland you guys did just fine. Seriously made my entire week. You for sure have room for improvement but that’s okay. It gave me and thousands of others amazing entertainment. Thank you serious for this.
I paid $14.95 (or whatever it was) on race day and it was such a blast. The fact that there was a fair amount of technical difficulties actually made it even better to me. With the lack of sports in the world you guys gave me a great evening of entertainment. 👍👍
You all crushed it but you my man did it all you made it possible you sir are leaving a big foot print for many fans to remember and re watch and we all believe you can do bigger and crazier things hope you see this as motivation that all your fans wanna see you grow as a human being and be successful and make people happy you motivate so much people just thought I can try and motivate you as much as I can love ya Garret stay safe

When the world is brought to it's knees, less free than ever before, the legendary Florida Man steps in to release the bald eagles and let the freedom fly
When the world was on his knees he put on the only pay per view event... We the passionate people who watch his videos like it's a religion built the platform in which he stands on and without us he would of never been able to buy the track.
@@seanoconnor630 with the money that was provided to him by us, he is the retailer for say and we are the customers we lend him out time in return he makes money, so if you where to go to the store and purchase a product that you get regularly and then all of a sudden the economy crashes and you lost your job then you go to the same store to get the same product but yet it has a 100% mark up you would be okay with it?
Race: 10/10. Rules: 10/10. Announcers: 10/10. Content: 10/10. Microphone transmitter: 0/10. Regardless I've watched this race 5 times from different channels and perspectives. Big thanks to Cleetus and everyone involved. 🏁🇺🇲🏎
It sounds like almost in every movie ever where it works as a background noise of race feels and commentators just speaking out of excitement, but nothing understandable comes out xD
People don't understand dynamic microphones.. They have to be "2 fingers" a lil' over an inch from your mouth to work. Cell phone mics etc. are "Condenser" Microphones not dynamic.. two totally different animals. You have to "EAT" a dynamic microphone.. They are treating dynamic mics like they are condenser mics..
Spicy Spence was amazing as a host, it felt like he was an actual announcer in a nascar race. Seems like a great guy and I wanna see him host the next races. Also this was one of the greatest events in Motorsport history 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I honestly thought Nick Savage was gonna be more vocal but seemed to not have much to say and also was on his phone more than talking when camera went on him. I guess he didn't know the deal....
This is more entertaining than a lot of the NASCAR races lol. Just imagine this done without a damn virus scare. Great job, 10 years from now we will be watching this on ESPN or Motor trend watching highlights of the very first Freedom 500 during the pre race show of the 10th annual Freedom 500
despite how poor the camera and sound quality were, this was way more entertaining than any race i have ever seen, sitting in the living room with my parents who baught the show last minute for my birthday being few days before the show went live, this was so much fun to watch, can't wait for future events
This production was a hot mess but gosh darnit I loved every second of it. Something about all the technical difficulties it made it feel more real, nascars production is so good it almost feels like you are just watching a movie or something.
It was so Raw and authentic!!! Really get the feelings and sensations triggers going as if we are actually watching it live every time, thanks for not editing the recorded video!!!!
This is filling a hole that NASCAR hasn't been able to fill since Dale died. I'm enjoying watching this more on UA-cam than literally being at a Talladega NASCAR race.
Adam Petty for me...his grand daddy was my hero since 1969, when I was 5 and I watched my first NASCAR race...I was told that he died at the same part of the same track, as well as another driver who I embarrassedly misremember his name...dammit man...
Nascar is so boring now at least back n the day there was rub n fights wasn't the 399 laps of sponsors an 1 or 2 good laps at end I could see thee 500 filling that hole
1-0-0 % better than NASCAR because of the random, "anything can happen" aspect.. Cars that weren't built JUST for racing.. No special tires or tilted or set to "go left" suspensions and steering... Just 19 "as you drive them" cars off the street turned loose on the track.. I think racing like this really has a future. RAW cars in street trim with only minor modifications.
@@fubargarage8171 -- Aye.. The good days when the motto was "win on sunday, sell on monday." --- It also pushed the industry to keep building better cars. Take it out on the track, beat the shit out of it, and whatever broke, you built it better for the next time..
This is what NASCAR should be. It just shows that stock car racing is not dead. I hope we can find more of this type racing. The Freedom Factory has produced a great product.
Stock car racing will never die...the sheer number of short dirt ovals all over the country will make sure of that...what Garett has done here IS incredible though...I'm old (54), so the kiddies tell me...I've seen a lot of tracks come and go, but something tells me that Freedom Factory will be here a long time...all of the passion that these guys have? If they ever found themselves in financial trouble not of their own making, I know that I would find away to help them out...I've been a fan of Mr. McFarland since he started working for 1320, a minute or so, and if he stays as loyal and honest as he is now I'll remain that way...
@@sykwookiee I agree with you the thing many of these people are missing is the characters and the attitudes.....I love my small town tracks I go to several events every year and travel up to 2 hours to go to certain events the one thing missing is who to cheer for...this event is exciting and fun because we know or know of all these guys from what they do on UA-cam so I feel like rivalries will start to form and grudges will form if they continue this idea of 2-6 races a year with all these guys but we need to see them wrench on the cars themselves too...that emotional attachment to the bad guy or the underdog or the guy that had a bad week this race was fun because I knew everyone and anyone who won would have been amazing James tossing the helmet Brent doing an after event that's racing try again next time attitude JH who getting picked on from start to finish a true worst to first story could come out of that....
Racing organizations, or leagues, have specific standards. It could be track safety, such as soft walls: (Nascar). Or unobtainable F1 type of standards. Cleeter needs a lawyer. Or 30 page book for anyone who gets on that track to sign. Sad reality we live in.
This is the beauty of owning a private race track. They are not on public streets. The cars don't even have to be street legal. Sounds like your a jealous hater.
@@dbx1233 cmon brother? i aint no hater.Jealous? Darn right!i did see a cleeter video today and they signed some kind of waiver... funny just maybe garret reads some comments every now and then. last thing i need is florida man getting in any trouble. Selfishly, i need the live action. Also i hope to be in florida next February for a wedding and I plan on seeing that track 1 way or another.
This was so worth the $10 that night. All the excitement of a Daytona race with cars at 1:1000 the cost. Can’t wait for the next race. This was good for the mental health of all Americans.
i actually felt the rough production fitted the event, it could of been over produced and yes you wanted it to go better, but for whats going on and the extreme limitations you guys faced. it was awesome to watch, i am watching again now, excited and ampted as if i not seen it, small part of history made
I wasn't sure how this was going to go; until I heard the national anthem sung, then I knew everything was going to be just fine ....best sporting event of 2020
Nowadays if you love you're beautiful country you get spit on, I'm very glad that there are some youtubers today that are not afraid to show their love for their country. God bless America and god bless patriotism and nationalism. (I am Dutch by the way)
@@peterIV88 But the difference is that right now if somebody spits on you for loving your country it's a federal offense they then go to jail for a long time so they can suck it. 🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅
Nine Well you’re completely wrong, before you go and assume stuff I’m from NJ and in my town a lot people have tested positive for coronavirus. I do care about the rest of the world and for you to make a generalization about us is pretty stupid.
Thanks for putting this up Cleeter! I'm just really hoping there isn't a lady somewhere who runs her own Speedway who is going to expose Cleeter for cruelty to Crown Vics...
Can't believe how fast that 3 hours and 24 minutes went by. I figured I'd skip over some of the boring stuff, but with some of the hot mics during technical issues or the amazing announcers keeping us engaged and informed, I didn't want to skip anything! Great job!
Cleetus brother. I really think your on to something here. A lot of room to make this a very big deal.! People are so tired of the modern NASCAR , this is the answer
Absolutely, real "stock" cars, old school endure style no holds barred racing thats about the drivers skill and bravery, instead of how Much money you can throw at a chassis and engine builder. I really wanna see cleetus and the guys do something like lemons racing, where fans can enter with any car that can pass a safety and tech inspection and do 30-50 lap enduro races, would be awesome.
The only NASCAR series that is still fun to watch is the modified. NASCAR hasn’t been great since they got rid of the gen 4, hasn’t been good since the beginning of Gen 6.
Lmao if you guys weren't pnasy asses you would know where and when your local track is doing this and actually go support those tracks and their blue collar race teams....I buy pit passes when I go even if I never step foot in the pits because many of the tracks let my kids in for free or next to nothing...I love what cleetus and crew are doing and potentially bringing the small track low budget racing back to the masses the problem you all have is not having a driver to root for....hunt the front creates that cleetus creates that Adam lz creates that.....we need rivalries we need an underdog we need a villian and we need the personalities before during and after the race to get us involved emotionally...this event was an epic event because we have so many characters from so many areas of you tube and everyone could pick a favorite....if they do this on a more regular basis and have different winners and get some real attitude and grudges built up it will come out on their individual UA-cam channels and create the drama needed to keep it exciting
The Pre Show was amazing! Spicy Spence absolutely killed it. Loved the setup and driver interviews. Race was so much fun. Crazy you folks even managed to pull this off given the surrounding circumstances and having to move it up a day last minute. Sure there were issues, but you pulled it off and it was great. Any fan had plenty here to enjoy. Best live show money I've spent. Well actually, I won a ticket from Monkey Wrenching! Really can't wait for the next one. We know it will only be far better.
This is what NASCAR used to and should still be. This is the best normal cars not made all alike. Must do more. Let us know when you do it again so we can come up to see
Of the thousands of shows I could've watched on Netflix, of the millions of videos I could've been watching on UA-cam. I'm here and I watched the entire video from start to end. This was awesome and despite being rough production wise it was still very entertaining. I was cheering on Brent and was a bit pissed when you got spun around half way through the race but it was still good times! I'd love to take my S4 Audi around that course. Much love!
I watched live and loved every minute of it. I loved Spence doing the interviews, I loved how you introduced the guys one by one and had them pick cards, I loved the amateur feel to the broadcast, I loved the announcers. Everything was awesome. My only comment would be to keep the same amateur feel but try and get the production value a little better, and Im sure this will come with time and covid-19 restrictions lifted. I will gladly pay my $10 a few times a year to see events like this in the future. I can't wait to see how cars get decorated when they're allowed a team to help them out. I really think you guys had a great idea with how you set up the card draw and decoration hour. Good job guys!
I've been waiting a week to say this. As someone who has dabbled in ovals, enough to know they can be sketchy, I'm quite impressed that there weren't any really major wrecks. Considering the experience level of about half the field, things went pretty good.
Cletus you are pure class. Anybody who would share your night, and remember a friend by racing for his brother who just passed away, has all my respect! YEE YEE!
Cleetus, what you did for Matt & his family with the "DO IT 4 MARK" logo is beyond awesome. As a sub to both your channel & all of Matt's I say thank you. Bog deep brother
Big shout out to Cleetus and crew for bringing a sense of normality to this country during this pandemic . Thank you all your hard work providing Americans cooped up in their houses with entertainment.
you'll only disappoint them when they watch the actual daytona 500. I watched the whole race end to end. Can't say i've done that for a nascar event in a very long time.
I'm not American but man what an awesome race! You can see the pride shining bright right in the eyes of Cleetus while the announcer was singing the anthem. Unfortunately in my country patriotism is seen as an offense. It's really beautiful to see how Americans have pride of their nation. God bless you all!!
This was amazing cleet and co. And at times it felt like I was watching an actual nascar race from the 70's and 80's when production was not much better than this. Awesome job. Hope this continues for many years to come.
Given the circumstances this really couldn't have been better. This was insanely entertaining, I got no complaints. Just wait till the stands are full someday! That'll be something else for sure!
I had watched the PPV already but I turned it on again for Easter and my 68yo mother joined me in watching it. I've never ever heard her laugh at any kind of motorsports before , but she was laughing her ass off and is looking forward to the next one. You brought joy and inspiration to millions by doing this. Bravo!
Besides some of the hiccups yall had with audio it still turned out amazing and I was really surprised to see everyone go as hard as they did. Can't wait to see this grow and get bigger and better. Congratulations Garrett!
Cleetus! What a unit man. As a huge NASCAR fan I couldn’t be more happier with the hard work of both you and your crew, especially everyone that helped make the Freedom Factory what it is. I am super stoked for my Cleetus Straw Hat to come in on Tuesday!
This was the best $10 I spent all year. This was such a raw and original production. America needed this and you provided it at the most perfect time in this time of peril our country is going through. Also, great job on the skid pad. This track has already come further in such a short time then I could have ever imagined. Keep up the Freedom brother ❤️
Im pretty sure the freedom factory was planned way befor leroy got a 7 sec pass, theres also a video that was posted after he got a 7 sec pass where copper asked if he likes ruby more then leroy and he basically says that she has a space in his heart for her thats probably 2nd to leroy and james says the freedom factory then Cletus says well 3rd favourite, id deffenlty have to double check but im pretty positive, i liked to know what hes favourite car is thou haha
Watched this with my mom and dad when they came up for easter. My dad said this was more entertaining then Nascar (I agree completely). Thanks for bringing us the greatest sporting event of 2020 due to these circumstances.
I would still buy a copy or a dvd. I saw someone comment on the safety crew, thank you safety crew. This could not have happened with out you. Best $9 I spent & thank you everyone. That burn out was amazing.
The fact that not one of the Vics blew up is awesome! Especially considering the total lack of car prep. Police Interceptors are mega!! Imagine how much more could be done with more time to get them all checked out and tuned up. What an awesome show start to finish!!
REDBIRD95 first time hurts but it gets better every time. I can’t wait for the next race! I didn’t know the PPV could be watched anytime unit today then I seen this and was like we that works.
“they stole my whole burnout show!” 😂 {first comment from a long time subscriber}: What a show it was! Very nice balance of respect amongst friends who share in the American racing spirit and crazy-fun vibes! Impressive winning strategy from Cleetus...loved seeing James’ passion shine, and Coop’s defense near the end was clutch in my opinion. Spicy Spence 🌶 brought great vibes and commentary. The drone shots were well done. Shout out to T-Ray finishing strong...in the name of all guys named Taylor! 👍🏼 Freedom Factory has a lot of viewing friends & family out here in Kansas and the fact is: this was and will be THE most entertaining live sporting event going on in this great county for months!! Speaks volumes!
Boys, let me just tell you this was the most "WINGED" thing i've ever done! We had 12 people hired to operate the cameras, and 3 showed up...

February for a wedding and I plan on seeing that track 1 way or another.
I can’t wait to never hear the words “social” and “distant” next to each other again
@Kommie Watch not in the slightest but ok..
Yea you and about 500 million people 😂
@Kommie Watch you had 7 hours to come up with an insult.. and “your a sheep” is all you could come up with?
This was so worth the $10 that night. All the excitement of a Daytona race with cars at 1:1000 the cost. Can’t wait for the next race. This was good for the mental health of all Americans.
Its loke 300 so 10:300 or 30:1
i actually felt the rough production fitted the event, it could of been over produced and yes you wanted it to go better, but for whats going on and the extreme limitations you guys faced. it was awesome to watch, i am watching again now, excited and ampted as if i not seen it, small part of history made
I wasn't sure how this was going to go; until I heard the national anthem sung, then I knew everything was going to be just fine ....best sporting event of 2020
Nowadays if you love you're beautiful country you get spit on, I'm very glad that there are some youtubers today that are not afraid to show their love for their country. God bless America and god bless patriotism and nationalism.
(I am Dutch by the way)
@@peterIV88 But the difference is that right now if somebody spits on you for loving your country it's a federal offense they then go to jail for a long time so they can suck it.

I'm sure the dislikes are just people that wanted to buy crown vics at the auctions and then saw what happened to them.
“Florida man hosts “Freedom 500” amid global wide Coronavirus pandemic”
Nationwide Pandemic lol
Americans do only think about themselves unfortunately, they probably don't even know anyone else is affected....
Yep, only America has Coronavirus problems. There is no “rest of the world” except that place that makes everything.
Jesus it was just a joke buddy
Nine Well you’re completely wrong, before you go and assume stuff I’m from NJ and in my town a lot people have tested positive for coronavirus. I do care about the rest of the world and for you to make a generalization about us is pretty stupid.
This is just the coolest thing. When the day comes that you can sell tickets to this venue, it's gonna be one of the greatest attractions in America.
You need to get the dale truck out there and back in it’s natural habitat
agreed
Yes indeed. Dale truck needs some time on the track👍
Its actully a mike skinner truck but in a dale scheme he ran the black 3 in trucks
It only saw that track one time in that short intro they did but yeah I think hes scared to crash it I dont blame him
to small of a track for him to do good. needs some winged sprinters
Dude Spicy Spence is so hype, he needs to do every race after this
I agree
Agreed. Spence has found his tribe. PLUS he sings the Anthem!
The Ryan Seacrest of the Freedom Factory😂😂
He was great
Dad: What's your biggest dream son?
Me: Competing in the Freedom 500 one day
I might buy an abandoned track and host something similar to this...
@@giocido count me in
Have you guys seen the drivers that are going to be in it this year he was able to get professional driver's in on it
"People walking in is important, not the cars" is your opinion 😂😂 hell of a race brother! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🤘
Yea what the hell was this chick yappin on about during the show. Cletus is talking lady.
HELLLLLLLLLLL YEEEEAAHHHHHHH BRUTHER
Thanks for putting this up Cleeter!
I'm just really hoping there isn't a lady somewhere who runs her own Speedway who is going to expose Cleeter for cruelty to Crown Vics...
Pablo668 I can’t like this enough #CleeterExotic 😂😂
As a Crown vic owner it did hurt a little lol Especially since most of them were pretty mint.
Pablo668 #CasualCleetus 😂😂
A life long Ford Freak. Crown Vic, best race car, ever! 🚓🌪
“BASKIN”
WE NEED MORE SPICY SPENCE. BEST DAMN HOST THERE IS. JUST THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF CHEESY
A lot of love for "Do it 4 Mark". Deepest sympathy to Jackie, Matt, and the rest of the family.
Can't believe how fast that 3 hours and 24 minutes went by. I figured I'd skip over some of the boring stuff, but with some of the hot mics during technical issues or the amazing announcers keeping us engaged and informed, I didn't want to skip anything! Great job!
The lady talking the entire card drawing scene is killing me lol
Cleetus brother. I really think your on to something here. A lot of room to make this a very big deal.! People are so tired of the modern NASCAR , this is the answer
Brian Nixon he is getting back to nascar roots! Not all this technical bs now days!
Absolutely, real "stock" cars, old school endure style no holds barred racing thats about the drivers skill and bravery, instead of how Much money you can throw at a chassis and engine builder.
I really wanna see cleetus and the guys do something like lemons racing, where fans can enter with any car that can pass a safety and tech inspection and do 30-50 lap enduro races, would be awesome.
The only NASCAR series that is still fun to watch is the modified. NASCAR hasn’t been great since they got rid of the gen 4, hasn’t been good since the beginning of Gen 6.
Lmao if you guys weren't pnasy asses you would know where and when your local track is doing this and actually go support those tracks and their blue collar race teams....I buy pit passes when I go even if I never step foot in the pits because many of the tracks let my kids in for free or next to nothing...I love what cleetus and crew are doing and potentially bringing the small track low budget racing back to the masses the problem you all have is not having a driver to root for....hunt the front creates that cleetus creates that Adam lz creates that.....we need rivalries we need an underdog we need a villian and we need the personalities before during and after the race to get us involved emotionally...this event was an epic event because we have so many characters from so many areas of you tube and everyone could pick a favorite....if they do this on a more regular basis and have different winners and get some real attitude and grudges built up it will come out on their individual UA-cam channels and create the drama needed to keep it exciting
@@anthonycope8637 right, local track lol 6 hour drive aint easy
The Pre Show was amazing! Spicy Spence absolutely killed it. Loved the setup and driver interviews. Race was so much fun.
Crazy you folks even managed to pull this off given the surrounding circumstances and having to move it up a day last minute.
Sure there were issues, but you pulled it off and it was great. Any fan had plenty here to enjoy. Best live show money I've spent.
Well actually, I won a ticket from Monkey Wrenching! Really can't wait for the next one. We know it will only be far better.
That right there was WORLD CLASS ENTERTAINMENT of the highest degree. Thanks guys for making this happen!
This is what NASCAR used to and should still be. This is the best normal cars not made all alike. Must do more. Let us know when you do it again so we can come up to see
Of the thousands of shows I could've watched on Netflix, of the millions of videos I could've been watching on UA-cam.
I'm here and I watched the entire video from start to end. This was awesome and despite being rough production wise
it was still very entertaining. I was cheering on Brent and was a bit pissed when you got spun around half way through
the race but it was still good times! I'd love to take my S4 Audi around that course. Much love!
Best $15 I've ever spent! I can't wait to see what the future holds for the Freedom Factory!
"I'ma get in that car, go as fast as I can, and I'ma turn left".
Are you sure you’re poor and stupid enough?

Spicy Spence was awesome at the interviews. He actually knew stuff about the drivers and had epic banter. Major props
“Raise hell, praise Dale”
Classic
I was bouncing off the walls despite it being 2am in the uk when it went down. Thrilling!
It was after 3 when it finished...
Christian Buczko yeah man, it was getting light by the time I got to bed as it took time to calm down...
I watched live and loved every minute of it. I loved Spence doing the interviews, I loved how you introduced the guys one by one and had them pick cards, I loved the amateur feel to the broadcast, I loved the announcers. Everything was awesome. My only comment would be to keep the same amateur feel but try and get the production value a little better, and Im sure this will come with time and covid-19 restrictions lifted. I will gladly pay my $10 a few times a year to see events like this in the future. I can't wait to see how cars get decorated when they're allowed a team to help them out. I really think you guys had a great idea with how you set up the card draw and decoration hour. Good job guys!
I've been waiting a week to say this. As someone who has dabbled in ovals, enough to know they can be sketchy, I'm quite impressed that there weren't any really major wrecks. Considering the experience level of about half the field, things went pretty good.
Yep!
Yeah I was really impressed considering the cars and drivers
Major wrecks require speed, so.... :-)
That's the good old crown vic for ya, best car in the world
The aerial shots are the best part.
Might think about getting wide angle lenses to see more than 4 cars though.
Y’all should put microphones close to the straights on the inside of the fence, in front of the bleachers. I wanna hear the eagles!!!!!!!! 🦅
This was the best thing to happen to the internet in a long long time. I bought the PPV and have already re-watched a few times.
Same lol
You should do timestamps for notable stuff, I'm on my first watch and I'm sure I'm gonna miss stuff
FLORIDA MAN HOLDS A FULL ON SPEEDWAY RACE MID PLANETWIDE LOCKDOWN
Thas a good 1! LoL!
I love it, Cleetus wins the race and the rest of racers go CRAZY to say the least. AWESOME !!! Congrats Cleetus. 😎
YEEMUTHAFUKIN'YEE!
The Earth goes into lockdown for the release of
The Bald Eagle's.
Hell Yeah Brother...
Planetwide *tyranny....
Thoughts and Prayers go out to the Carriker family. Dr. Lee, Matt, Jackie and everyone else close to Mark, this one is for you! Rest in PARADISE Mark!
I'm so thankful for when the mics quit working at the end but I wish I could hear more sounds from the cars
Cletus you are pure class. Anybody who would share your night, and remember a friend by racing for his brother who just passed away, has all my respect! YEE YEE!
Cleetus: "I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence!"
That had me laughing!😂😂
Ricky Bobby said it first
timestamp?
If ya ain't first your last
Cleetus, what you did for Matt & his family with the "DO IT 4 MARK" logo is beyond awesome. As a sub to both your channel & all of Matt's I say thank you.
Bog deep brother
Big shout out to Cleetus and crew for bringing a sense of normality to this country during this pandemic . Thank you all your hard work providing Americans cooped up in their houses with entertainment.
I want a “you know the deal” count on nick savage man said you know the deal at least every 35 sec
Come on man you know the deal!
Shout out Justin “YOU KNOW THE DEAL” 🤣🤣
Don't forget "they're comin' in hot!"
"Get your guy back up here he plugged somethin in and the mics arent working" meanwhile it's the best theyve sounded all 95 laps
I’m gonna tell my kids this was the Daytona 500
with Rona Virus indeed
you'll only disappoint them when they watch the actual daytona 500. I watched the whole race end to end. Can't say i've done that for a nascar event in a very long time.
I was hoping that the dale truck would be the pacecar
that would of been bad ass
I think it wasn’t bc anyone cleetus would trust enough to drive was racing
@@aaronlycan6595 Also Neighbour was supposed to be the pace car, but crapped out last minute
I think the dale truck was at ksr during this
Brent and the FasterPROMS collaboration is worth the watch
This is just more proof crown vic's are tanks lmao. Cant wait to see more event from you guys at the freedom factory. Love the content
I'm not American but man what an awesome race! You can see the pride shining bright right in the eyes of Cleetus while the announcer was singing the anthem. Unfortunately in my country patriotism is seen as an offense. It's really beautiful to see how Americans have pride of their nation. God bless you all!!
Hats off to spence, what a great announcer.
This was amazing cleet and co. And at times it felt like I was watching an actual nascar race from the 70's and 80's when production was not much better than this. Awesome job. Hope this continues for many years to come.
Only Cleetus could have everything go wrong and have a production dumpster fire and it still being an amazing way to spend an evening.
🙏
Given the circumstances this really couldn't have been better. This was insanely entertaining, I got no complaints. Just wait till the stands are full someday! That'll be something else for sure!
I had watched the PPV already but I turned it on again for Easter and my 68yo mother joined me in watching it. I've never ever heard her laugh at any kind of motorsports before , but she was laughing her ass off and is looking forward to the next one.
You brought joy and inspiration to millions by doing this. Bravo!
This is only the start of the Freedom Factory Era, and Cleetus, The Legend...
It seems, the concept of a Crown Vic race such as this, Genius...
Those aerial shots from the drones were boss, they need 2 drones for when one needs to come down for battery change-out XD
Strap cameras to the light poles for now
They had a bunch more. But you got to thank the Corona for screwing it up
and a second camera to watch for wrecks/bumping while the main camera is watching the leaders.
If this is only a practice event, I can’t wait to see what’s to come!
Same here, especially considering the production was cut in half because of Corona. This was awesome even with a skeleton crew running the production!
Hell yea brother
Besides some of the hiccups yall had with audio it still turned out amazing and I was really surprised to see everyone go as hard as they did. Can't wait to see this grow and get bigger and better. Congratulations Garrett!
Man, I almost want to call this this "Under Caution 500" haha.
when all the crown vic's reved up at the same time gave me the chills, but damn wish i saw it IRL
Cleetus! What a unit man. As a huge NASCAR fan I couldn’t be more happier with the hard work of both you and your crew, especially everyone that helped make the Freedom Factory what it is. I am super stoked for my Cleetus Straw Hat to come in on Tuesday!
Next one everyone builds, brings and races. Everything has to come out of the junk yard. Back to the original auto racing.
I've already got a car for that!
There is Lemons
Cleetus needs bikes next. Some Harley's Racing
Calvin Porter bring the stock back to stock car racing
13:39 we just gonna act like that dance move wasn't the best part of the entire video? 🤣
That was a spicy national anthem he nailed that good job Spence
Spicy Spence did an amazing job!
And thanks to the camera crew (the 3 that actually went..) and everybody who helped getting this done. 🤘🏼
I look at the freedom factory like A ten year old with HotWheels eye’s Cleetus you are one lucky son of gun 🤘😎🤘
Hell yeah brother
Cletus with the do it for Mark... The moment I knew he had the race won...
This was the best $10 I spent all year. This was such a raw and original production. America needed this and you provided it at the most perfect time in this time of peril our country is going through. Also, great job on the skid pad. This track has already come further in such a short time then I could have ever imagined. Keep up the Freedom brother ❤️
I can’t believe I watched 3hr and 24minute video
Imagine what would happen if Leroy didn’t run a 7 on a pushed gasket and no water.
He'd have done it anyways, some people are destined for greatness...lucky bastard! Sorry had a jealousy flash there🌋 for a second...lol
I don't think that was the defining point I think he just had good ideas and made them happen.
chris w wonder where we’d be today🧐
@@sykwookiee Being around great friends who share the love for crazy dreams doesn't hurt either.
Im pretty sure the freedom factory was planned way befor leroy got a 7 sec pass, theres also a video that was posted after he got a 7 sec pass where copper asked if he likes ruby more then leroy and he basically says that she has a space in his heart for her thats probably 2nd to leroy and james says the freedom factory then Cletus says well 3rd favourite, id deffenlty have to double check but im pretty positive, i liked to know what hes favourite car is thou haha
Watched this with my mom and dad when they came up for easter. My dad said this was more entertaining then Nascar (I agree completely). Thanks for bringing us the greatest sporting event of 2020 due to these circumstances.
"Do It 4 Mark" pure class Cleetus. Can't more proud of you guys and the support for other UA-camrs.
I would still buy a copy or a dvd. I saw someone comment on the safety crew, thank you safety crew. This could not have happened with out you. Best $9 I spent & thank you everyone. That burn out was amazing.
The fact that not one of the Vics blew up is awesome! Especially considering the total lack of car prep. Police Interceptors are mega!! Imagine how much more could be done with more time to get them all checked out and tuned up. What an awesome show start to finish!!
Spicy Spence full-on reminded me of Johnny Knoxville the whole time. Both in looks and persona haha.
When the distancing is no longer an issue, he should whack them in the zipper as he goes around interviewing then
The race was epic, I already watched the PPV. Even with the glitches and whatnot, it was still awesome🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
REDBIRD95 first time hurts but it gets better every time. I can’t wait for the next race! I didn’t know the PPV could be watched anytime unit today then I seen this and was like we that works.
Other then the audio I think this was a great first attempt
“they stole my whole burnout show!” 😂
{first comment from a long time subscriber}: What a show it was! Very nice balance of respect amongst friends who share in the American racing spirit and crazy-fun vibes! Impressive winning strategy from Cleetus...loved seeing James’ passion shine, and Coop’s defense near the end was clutch in my opinion. Spicy Spence 🌶 brought great vibes and commentary. The drone shots were well done. Shout out to T-Ray finishing strong...in the name of all guys named Taylor! 👍🏼 Freedom Factory has a lot of viewing friends & family out here in Kansas and the fact is: this was and will be THE most entertaining live sporting event going on in this great county for months!! Speaks volumes!
We were rippen!!!🤩
@parkerbethke hell I just now found this cleet guy on UA-cam. Lol
Was just a warm up for Le Mullets! Congrats guys
Every race from here on out needs to finish with a melee burnout.
