Hey Cleetus from CA! I bought a ppv ticket for the first time to watch the Freedom 500. It was an amazing event. I had a blast watching both days. The camera crew did a great job. The race was awesome. Congrats. I have to admit I was also pulling for my boy Derek VGG to pull it off. I hope my wife and I can fly out to see an event in person sometime soon now that we saw how much fun this last one was. We would love to meet you and your awesome crew. Great job!

[@Transparencies-EST.1787]

Ive never knew this dude knows every one.. and to see this, i comes to think how nascar started. In the future this dude will have his own big car races 🏁 like Nascar type of race with 200 mph plus cars .. the kid already got a bunch of events and hes doing big things. Hes his own BOSS ❤

[@NickBealed]

Really tugged at my heart strings to see Lia Block out there racing following in her father's footsteps

[@Trialnerror]

That PPV was so good and so consistent from start to finish. You guys did a great job.

[@freedom3585]

Good to see Lia out on the track with y'all 🙏

[@Glensen]

Kevin is the true winner, he drove the pants of all others. Damn he can drive!

[@JG-zb7om]

I have to comment on the quality of the production. I've been a Crew member for two years now, and this was the first event I was able to watch from beginning to end without any issues. Thank you for the huge step up in production!

[@therockbiter8140]

Kevin @KSR is always a huge threat, but I can't help but always help but to root for Brent @PFI, he's the human version of a golden retriever. I love watching so many of these guys, @VGG is another favorite. But I've been watching some of these pros and their families as long as I can remember like Pastrana, Block and the Deegans.

[@michaelsargunas8255]

You aren’t just making videos Cleet, you’re making history. You and the crew keep up the great work. 🏁🇺🇸

[@TheNuancedNuisance]

He really is doing a major part in keeping real racing alive

[@timstein]

Damn!!! That looked like some AWESOME racing!!! Congratulations Cleetus, and Awesome Job to all Involved!!!!

[@riffle91ar]

Heck yeah Cleetus. Glad you bought us along for us who didn't or couldn't watch the 500. I had planned to buy it but had a concert that same night 🤦🏻‍♂️ Great win though.

[@MuvoTX]

As a father of a teenage daughter, My heart was with Lia. You go girl!!

So happy to see Lia out there, keeping the Block name strong! #43

[@jorickw3392]

I don't think with almost 4000 comments my comment will stand out but hey.... This really made me smile not because of the win but of the great diverse group of drivers. Seems like everybody was full of positive energy. But what really made me smile was even though the promotion of the event was a little late. The whole freedom factory seemed to be packed. I can't go to these events cause i live on the other side of the ocean but i really think the big win was the great event on it's own. Really good to see!

[@kodiak7964]

It was truly packed. Took 2 hours to get out of the parking lot lol

[@aproudamerican2692]

*🏁CONGRATULATIONS CLEETUS🏁* *I watched on PPV all four races and this year was the best.* My favorite part was your new camera guys. We actually got to watch the entire race instead of just seeing the lead car for 5 to 10 minutes. *So great job team.*

[@supra1jzed]

They are cycling through cameras more, often action started and they'd cycle to another shot. They were usually super super tight shots. 1-3 cars max. A track that sized they can easily keep it pretty wide and still be able to see exceptionally well. There's really no reason to see less than 1/3 the field at any given time on the tightest of shots at a track that size.

[@bglenn2222]

It's crazy to think I started watching Cleetus when he was doing duck calls in his Corvette and him showcasing a foam cannon to the Freedom 500. This has been an amazing ride!

[@michaelhearring1593]

Wow what a show you guy's killed it again. So many awesome people with driving skills as well, you guy's kick ass.

[@175IQLOSERS]

These races just get better and better... and the fact that the pro drivers get involved just makes it even that much more fun... This reminds me of the old days of racing, with people who love cars and racing and not all the commercial baggage, just drivers who love driving. Its exciting and its just fun to watch..!! I was glad to see Lia Block out there and I really hope she comes back again.

[@RichB07]

So cool Lia Block getting involved in all this . Then the Tribute to KB was AWESOME ...! You guys killed it at this one . Gets better everytime . Nothing short of Amazing !!!

[@zachfreeze3964]

I was on the edge of my seat the entire race, was such good racing and an even better production. So cool what you’ve accomplished in the past 6 years

[@ThePulleys]

When race car drivers use there windshield washers in the race!!!! Epic! 😂 thank you Garrett for a incredible race to watch! Definitely going to be there one day.

[@danhiggins7798]

Looked like a cleaner race than some Nascar races. Great show Cleetus.

[@averybolling]

Seeing the guys just all supporting Lia was the most heart warming thing I've seen in awhile. She's coming for the throne. I love it.

[@pesomasagravedad]

Im stoked on how Garrett appreciates his team but also on how excited and supportive his team are when he's winning or won! You wouldn't be that stoked if you're boss was and ass and that said a lot.

[@biggabenne]

The camera work was TOP NOTCH this time. The Drones looked like they were locked on the cars and following them like fighter jets. The drift laps and epic burnout was amazing. Great race as always!

[@glennedward2201]

I just watched a local F500 in our mall parking lot the last hour. Drifting, burnouts, few races on the side road. An hour or so before the boys rolled in to break them up. Surprised it took that long but a good bit of entertainment for the evening. Nice to see ya’ll pursuing your dreams. Have fun while you can.

[@andyvilla4621]

It’s so crazy how this channel grew from watching Cletus with Leroy to now this is a amazing

[@originalkhawk]

Congrats on the win, but holly shit can we talk about Kevin for a moment, that man was race leader for over half the race, spun out, rejoined the race in last, and then somehow managed to make its way back up to the front in no time before sadly crashing (or getting crashed) out. mind blowing performance.

[@erwinschmidt7265]

Wow!! Mr. Cleetus wins The Freedom 500!! Missus & myself just so proud of ya'll!!! Let's Go In Frickin' Deed!!!! Cleetus McFarland IS THE MAN & King Salami on steroids for sure!!! YEAAAAA!!!!

[@MrPetercooknh]

I stumbled onto Cleetus by watching an RC Airplane video. This kid is awesome! Great fun and excitement! Thank you Cleetus!!

[@DatFloLife]

Congratulations!!! I took my daughter to this race, and i think u sparked something inside. All she can talk about is coming back for the next one. Thank u for putting on such a great show!! Fan since the deer whistles ;)

[@b-laz-e]

Kevin raced so well. fast and clean. Got spun out lost like 15 spots and fought his way back to the front... amazing! Also... Really good burnouts on the pad!

[@wesw9586]

Kevin got done dirty once again. Would really like to see black flags become a thing here. They wanna keep these cars all year but they let Nick Sous and Pastrana and others keep treating it like a demo derby with no repercussions. Just doesn't make sense.

[@1987FX16]

14:15 Yeah that was a dirty intentional PIT that should've been DQed for unsportsmanlike conduct..

[@thachester]

I don't have enough fingers and toes to add up the talent, money, and technology between F1, Rally, Hillclimbs, Gymkhana combined, yet a small cities worth of Crown Vic's cranked out on happy gas put on some of the most entertaining racing to watch. Hat's off to Cleetus for bringing something to small track racing that few to none have ever done.

[@Theuf28]

I am pretty sure Ken is enjoying this... :) and it is very cool to see Lia racing with people that mostly know Ken and respect him and her deeply. :) Racing family is real.

[@rustyshackelford1483]

Uh, Ken is deceased. He's not enjoying anything, he's also not suffering, he's no longer.
