The Origin Story

Garrett Mitchell was born on April 5, 1995. The Omaha, Nebraska, native followed the straight and narrow path to law school in Tampa, Florida, and worked as a social media manager for 1320 Video before his Cleetus McFarland pseudonym was brought to life.

In 2015, at a Colorado racing event, he was being filmed by a friend doing commentary on a Chevrolet Camaro.

The pair were joking around at the show, with his friend introducing him as Cleetus McFarland.

Mitchell tore the sleeves off his t-shirt and adopted a Southern accent for the camera.

Unbeknownst to Mitchell, his friend—and 1320 Video CEO—Kyle Loftis uploaded the video to social media.

By the following morning, the video had over a million views.
