Cleetus McFarland (Garrett Mitchell) made his NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series (NOAPS) debut at Rockingham Speedway, driving the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. He started 35th and finished 32nd, finishing the race despite several slides and one full spin.
Originally, he planned to make his second NOAPS start at Talladega, but NASCAR did not approve him for the larger tracks on the schedule yet.

Instead, Cleetus will get back behind the wheel of the RCR No. 33 at Nashville on May 30, a 1.330-mile concrete D-shaped oval in Tennessee.
Tommy’s Express Car Wash will again back the effort.
