Cleetus McFarland's ARCA race today ended in bad luck for the YouTube star, with a car issue ending his day early at Kansas Speedway.
McFarland was running in 10th position at the time, and had been as high as seventh, but his in-car camera began to show a lot of smoke coming inside the car. McFarland was immediately informed to bring his car down to the apron and park as quickly as he could.
That incident happened after McFarland had run for 75 of the 100 scheduled laps, with the caution also coming out at the time.
Eventually, the race resumed and would go on deep into overtime before the black and white checkered flag, with Gio Ruggerio taking his second win of the season.

Cleetus McFarland reaction
“Oh dude, I had a blast,” Hocevar told Jeff Gluck post-race. “I mean, I basically won.
“Honestly, if I didn't blow that oil line, Carson [Hocevar], you think I was gonna catch the leader?... yeah? So there's a good chance I would have won if that didn't happen, so that's a little bit of a disappointment.
“What'd I make it to seventh? I mean, come on, from 25th to 7th, that's a win right there, so I had a great day.
“Hoping my sponsor baldeagle.com doesn't drop me [Cleetus owns Bald Eagle] and I'll be back for Talladega.”
