NASCAR Cup might be off this weekend, but we are at the dawn of one of the most highly anticipated O'Reilly Series debuts in history. You may be sick of hearing about Cleetus McFarland already, but motorsports reporter Jeff Gluck is charmed with the Youtube celebrity's earnest efforts to prepare for his high pressure opportunity. Jeff invites Cleetus to this week's edition of the Gluckcast to talk preparation and expectation ahead of this weekend in Rockingham. He also sits down with Casey Mears to discuss the quest for 500 Cup starts and the Athletic's Formula One liaison Luke Smith to catch up on the turbulence the series has dealt with thus far this year.
