Garrett Mitchell bought the DeSoto Super Speedway in Florida for $2.2 million in 2020 for a pay-per-view event.

The event led to a subscription service, FRDM+, which now costs $ 20 per month or $ 120 per year.

The first PPV event at the Freedom Factory speedway was a "race against time".

Live events are still the heart of FRDM+. The service had 21 livestreamed events scheduled throughout 2025 , and more are expected to come.

Like with other SVOD services, subscribers can watch FRDM+ via a web browser or through a smart TV app.

The company has 35 full-time employees across its Shop, Race Track , Events, and Merch divisions.
