Bradenton Motorsports Park is co-owned by Victor Alvarez and YouTuber/motorsports personality Cleetus “Cleetus McFarland” McFarland, who acquired a 50% stake in the facility in early 2025.

Who Owns Bradenton Motorsports Park?

Bradenton Motorsports Park (BMP) in Bradenton, Florida is no longer a single‑owner operation. Ownership is now shared between long‑time operator Victor Alvarez and content creator/track owner Cleetus McFarland, who bought into the track with a 50% ownership stake as of 2025.

Quick Scoop

  • Victor Alvarez remains a principal owner and the face behind BMP’s modern resurgence and big events like FL2K.
  • In 2025, Cleetus McFarland (Garrett Mitchell), already owner of the neighboring Freedom Factory oval track, bought 50% of Bradenton Motorsports Park.
  • The deal effectively makes BMP a partnership between Alvarez and McFarland, with shared resources and coordinated management between BMP and the Freedom Factory.

In simple terms: if you’re asking “who owns Bradenton Motorsports Park now,” the answer is a two‑man team—Victor Alvarez and Cleetus McFarland, each holding half the track.

A Bit of Background

  • Bradenton Motorsports Park has been a major Florida drag racing venue since the 1970s, hosting events like the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals, U.S. Street Nationals, and FL2K.
  • Before Cleetus came in as a co‑owner, Alvarez had already built BMP into a national‑level dragstrip destination through promotion and continual upgrades.
  • Cleetus had separately purchased and revived the adjacent DeSoto Memorial Speedway, rebranding it as the Freedom Factory, several years earlier; the BMP stake is a logical next step in that motorsports hub.

What Changed With Cleetus Joining

  • Cleetus acquired a 50% ownership stake, joining Alvarez rather than replacing him, so it’s a partnership rather than a full sale.
  • Both sides have talked publicly about:
    • Sharing equipment and staff between BMP and the Freedom Factory,
    • Investing further in track improvements and event quality,
    • Continuing to grow BMP as a premier drag racing facility.
  • Operationally, they’ve brought in a shared general manager (Josh Dauta) to oversee both facilities day‑to‑day.
