Lawrence Garrett Mitchell (born April 5, 1995), known professionally as Cleetus McFarland, is an American YouTuber. As of May 2025, he has over 4 million subscribers. In 2025, he competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East, driving the No. 30 Ford for Rette Jones Racing. On January 28, 2009, Mitchell started his YouTube channel, around the same time he became the social media manager for car media company 1320Video. He eventually left 1320Video to pursue a full-time career with his own YouTube channel. In 2015, he adopted the moniker "Cleetus McFarland" after a character he created that went viral at the Rocky Mountain Drag Week with Tom Bailey. The name Cleetus was quickly adopted by his YouTube channel and is now how he is most referred to, rarely hearing his real name used outside of close friends and family.
