Austin Green claimed his first victory in the ARCA Menards Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway, while popular YouTuber Cleetus McFarland finished ninth in his third ARCA start at a non-superspeedway track. McFarland faced challenges during the race, sparking a multi-car incident after spinning the tires on a restart, but managed to salvage a top-ten finish.
Despite his frustration with causing the restart pileup, McFarland showed resilience and determination by recovering and maintaining a strong pace throughout the remainder of the race. He eventually finished ninth, acknowledging his error and vowing to learn from it for future races.
McFarland confessed his struggles with the higher difficulty level at Charlotte compared to superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega, recognizing the need to adapt his driving style. Looking ahead, he plans to continue racing in the ARCA Menards Series, with his next scheduled start at Bristol Motor Speedway in September.
