Cleetus McFarland will return to the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series with Richard Childress Racing next month at Nashville Superspeedway to drive the No. 33 Chevrolet.
McFarland finished 33rd in his series debut earlier this month at Rockingham Superspeedway, six lap down. It was his first of three scheduled races in 2026, hoping to run later this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. After his first showing, NASCAR officials deemed he was yet to be approved for Talladega but was cleared to compete at short tracks, in addition to any venue in the Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series.
Nashville measures at 1.33 miles in length, featuring both intermediate and short-track tendencies.
