Thank you to www.summitracing.com/ for sponsoring this epic 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!
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!
Using a white Bronco as a pace truck would be fun, but you'd have to find an NFL lineman to drive it. Then again, if Cleetus can persuade Larry McReynolds to narrate the Freedom 500, that shouldn't be difficult. Does the Bronco also need a potentially suicidal running back in the back seat?
@@TEAMERICA96 First, that's not what I was referring to. During "The Chase," OJ was in the white Bronco Al Cowlings was driving on the freeway. Second, why is it that when Black football players take a reverent knee in silent protest of a [perceived] problem of racially motivated, institutional violence, all some people can think of is hurting people and ruining careers? It's not like those kneeling NFL players were, oh, storming the Capitol Building, killing people, smashing and stealing things. They were just being quiet. Seriously, you should be ashamed of yourself.

1:47:13 A29 flyover Also, yeah, probably one of the most dedicated posts I've seen for time stamps in a long time, you need to find another hobby or something 😂😂
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.
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.
it’s like giving two mics to 6 drunken college girls, to karaoke a Taylor Swift tune. it’s enough to make you stab your earholes with an icepick, in the same motion & speed I had at 14 y/o with that Jenna Jameson VHS tape I lifted from my cousins stash. and all that was happening with Larry Mac standing by. sinful.
@@alxx26 total ass hat. he kinda ruined it. I mean i like shenanigans but I kinda was hype to see a race. Cleetus, no more, danny duncan or heavy d. PLEASE. Even WD tried hard and did ok.
@@EagleRun23 right tho i get that its just for fun but its still a race and wrecking a leader on lap 4 isn't racing. the point is to have fun not ruin the night because one guy can't handle his full sends.. don't be a heavy D
Always good to have a second recorder/server/service for live events. In this instance it was probably the gain set too high on the mixer used for the booth mics. Very common to have a live event with 1 location that requires extra tuning. Long story short, RaceTrack!Loud loud loud! Turn the mics way up and let em eat......But the announcer booth is meant to be quiet, the quietest place at the track. The mics dont have to be up that high in that environment so they "clip" when the announcers get louder
Larry and Jared both had headsets with boom microphones. The "choppiness" might have been the recording equipment. Or editing out a good deal of Spicy Spence's loud, inane braying.
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.
I love Spence as a person but the amount of times I thought to myself God darn it spend stop yelling and the amount of times I had to adjust my volume with him screaming in the mind was just too much
Maybe one day cleeter will realize he’s the only guy that likes spencer 😂 the guy pays to have a real announcer and Larry maybe got 3 minutes of talking in between Spencer’s drunken screaming smh. Just sucks as a fan of cleetus to see such an annoying idiot representing his brand in such a terrible way. Spencer should thank his lucky stars for the kinds of fans cleetus has for not canceling this man into the oblivion for all the stupid shit he says.
I like Spence. I think he does an alright job, .....but you could certainly tell something changed about midway through the broadcast. I assume it was the "sauce" and the hot dogs. It did get annoying.
When it comes to motorsports broadcasting, and producing a show for the fans at the venue, it is really hard to get a good balance. Work out a plan where you use both your announcers and the commentary team separately at different times. You don't need announcers when the racing is going, and you don't need commentary pre or post-race.
@@alxx26 I agree. After that leave it to the professionals. Or if they want him doing separate things with the in house crowd use two separate mics. In house getting.the crowd hype I understand, but the people watching at home want a professional broadcast feel
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
Paid for the PPV and watched it somewhat live but couldn't finish due to the audio crackling. Hoped they would have fixed it before the regular upload. Oh well. Heres to the next one being better! Do it for Dale!
@@Cammmmeron this whole thing is for fun/RU-vid entertainment, it doesn't really matter. You think all unknown condition auction vics are an even field when you have drivers cutting thru the grass for shortcuts, doing pace lap burnouts, nos bottle leaks, bumping into eachother for fun, etc etc etc? I'd rather see more shenanigans with various cars and maybe a wild card where one random person gets a 300 shot of NOS instead of a long lasting baby shot
Carnegie is one thing if that’s how it’s designed but for those that take these races serious and run the race properly and strategically saving there equipment i can just imagine the frustration of being taken out.
this must be such a devastating thread of comments for this dude to be reading. just non stop people shitting on him for being a drunk fuckhead. damn.... lol

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 RU-vid 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!
Wow! It's crazy how fast your channel grew. Watch what you sign away while you're moving up in the world. Don't trust anyone and never forget where you came from so if something happens and let's say you are no longer able to make the money you need to do this stuff anymore, you want have to far to fall. I had a similar past. Not as big as you and not as fast but I lost touch in who I was and it took me down hard when it ended. I pray for only the best for you guys and hope you achieve what you want. Stay safe and keep them Fords on the track. God Bless Brother.
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!
Finally watched this race. Was amazing for like a first time deal. I had no idea what was going on, with racers coming back in, and the lapped cars blocking guys like Probst. Thought the announcers were great. Can’t wait for the next one HYB!!! Ps get guys like Stradman and Demo… and even vehicle virgins
Ok so I'm a little slow in getting to this one but HELLL YEA BROTHER!! What a fun way to blow an afternoon in front of the tube! I would love to go to any Freedom Factory event someday. You guys rock! Thanks for putting up the whole event!
Tanner Foust pit manoeuvred Vice grip garage. I guess he missed the drivers meeting where they were told specifically NOT to do that. Very disappointing. VGG was a contender here.
Pretty sure they were told not to "turn someone up into the wall" aka pitting someone on the right rear corner and sending them face first into the wall.
I see i´m not the only one with issues with the sound Everything else,top notch as usual It all turns to gold when old Cleeter works his magic Keep up the good work
Oof, I really hope they have Spence put the mic down next time. That made this very tough to watch... Larry Mac and Jarod did plenty well. Audio issues are easy enough to resolve in the future, but man having someone seemingly intoxicated screaming at me throughout this while making obscene comments about Hailie Deegan is not exactly fun to watch.
Y’all oughtta invite me next year! I got plenty of seat time in crown Vics! I mean, it was always handcuffed in the back, but hey, that’s gotta count for something!
Loved this live roll on the next one. I've started the fund to help me get over to the USA so I can come watch one of the events. No reason why I can't watch it again
I’ve never been a race car fan until now I absolutely love Cletus he’s done an amazing job it really shows how much you can do if you put your heart in it the prostitution is so damn good
This is better than NASCAR IMO. Great driver’s whether RU-vid content makers or NASCAR driver’s. I don’t care. This video is fire. Larry Mac is the greatest on commentary, and as a crew chief.
@@huntertippetts3670 Yea I watched that video a few days after the race, it's still crappy of him to act like it's bumper cars. Rubbin' is racin' but that screwed up some what could have been some good racing.
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
