Cleetus McFarland

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: "Cleetus McFarland Could Come Race With Us in [CARS Tour], And I'd Help Him"​

 
I just want to know when things changed? Nascar has always had drivers with zero experience, 3 off the top of my head, Kenny Wallace, no diving experience borrowed a Bush car from Sr. ran one race and then ran the whole season the next year with zero experience, Steve Kinsner, no stock car experience straight to the Cup series and Kyle Petty, these are 3 I can think of if we were to do research we would find dozens of drivers who've run the full Bush schedule with zero experience, Garrett has just as much a right to race as any other driver with limited to no experience. So again, when did this change and why now?

Marty Robbins comes to mind also.
 
If we are talking Cup cars…SVG.

As for when things changed? $$ and a massive dif in cars and competition has been shifting things pretty steadily for decades. You need sponsors but you also have to win. Unless your dad or uncle owns the team anyway. Arca and maybe trucks are still there to earn your way up though. I am sure if Cleetus had next level talent he will have some shots. But I’ll let the track validate it not social media. And that’s is in no way a criticism of Cleetus. I hope he does well and moves up as he shows the skill.
