Partnership Will Celebrate Motorsports Mayhem and Give Fans More Ways to Join in Through Real-Deal Experiences, Content and Events

MINNEAPOLIS, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Polaris, the world leader in powersports and off road fun, today kicked-off a multi-year partnership with YouTube pioneer, motorsports content creator, entrepreneur, and racer Cleetus McFarland (also known as Garrett Mitchell) that will open the gates for content and experiences with his passionate community.

Fans know Cleetus for the world he's built around the Freedom Factory, his YouTube channel, and the kind of loud, high‑energy, hands-on events that get people grinning ear to ear. Through this partnership, Polaris will help bring even more of Cleetus' ideas to life and give fans new ways to be part of the action.

"We are big fans of Cleetus and the community he has built. We couldn't just watch from the outside; we had to be a part of it," said Reid Wilson, President of Polaris Off-Road Vehicles. "He brings a level of energy, passion and authenticity that reflects what American motorsports is all about, and we look forward to supporting a community that shares our love for performance and adventure."

"I built my community around freedom, horsepower, and having a good time, and Polaris fits that perfectly," said Cleetus McFarland. "They get the people, they get the spirit—hell yeah, brother—that's what we're all about. Teaming up allows us to introduce more people to powersports and the fun that comes with it."  

The partnership will put Cleetus and his team behind the wheel and let them go full throttle with Polaris. From his operations, content, and experiences at the Freedom Factory, Cleetus will be powered by Polaris and create new opportunities for fans to find freedom through powersports.
