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.

Along with his Rockingham O'Reilly debut, Cleetus made his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut earlier this year at Daytona. He has six starts in the ARCA Menards Series and a top five in the ARCA East race at Rockingham.
His most recent start came in the ARCA Kansas race, suffering an engine failure while running inside the top ten.
