Racing career

Early years

Early in his career, McLeod was a super late model driver in the Southeast.[1] In 2000, McLeod competed in two Hooters Pro Cup races at Hickory Motor Speedway and USA International Speedway, with a best finish of 31st in the former.[2] The following year, he ran an American Speed Association National Tour race at Fairgrounds Speedway for Herzog Motorsports, finishing 15th.[3] In 2014, he ran an ARCA Racing Series event at Pocono Raceway for Venturini Motorsports, finishing 27th.[4]

Camping World Truck Series

McLeod began racing in NASCAR's top three series in 2010, making his Camping World Truck Series debut at Martinsville Speedway in the No. 9 for Germain Racing; after qualifying 23rd, he finished 17th.[5] The following year he split time in a partial schedule with his own team, SS-Green Light Racing and RSS Racing.[6] In 2012, McLeod again ran a partial schedule, this time with RSS, Glenden Enterprises and Hillman Racing.[7] For 2013, he focused on his own team and only made one race, the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.[8] The following year McLeod served as a part-time start and park driver for SS-Green Light.[9] In 2015, while doing a part-time Xfinity schedule, McLeod again started and parked, this time for his own team.[10] While running a 2016 full-time Xfinity schedule, McLeod came back to the Trucks for one race in 2016, turning in a top-fifteen, lead-lap finish for MB Motorsports at Kansas Speedway.[11]

Xfinity Series

In 2015, he joined Rick Ware Racing at Iowa Speedway for his Xfinity Series debut, retiring after 68 laps due to brake troubles, and was credited with a 36th-place finish.[12] McLeod then proceeded to bounce between different teams, starting and parking and running full races. McLeod in that season ran for RWR, a partnership between SS-Green Light Racing and Young's Motorsports, MBM Motorsports and King Autosport.[13]

2016 Xfinity Series car at Road America

McLeod took on a full-time Xfinity schedule in 2016, the first full-time schedule in a NASCAR national series. He ran the full schedule with his own B. J. McLeod Motorsports No. 78 car, scoring three top twenty finishes.[14]

In 2017, he has rotated between the Nos. 78 and 8 while taking some races off to give to pay drivers as he focuses on making his team better.[15]

Monster Energy Cup Series

McLeod made his Sprint Cup Series debut in the 2015 Sylvania 300, driving the No. 33 Chevrolet SS for Circle Sport.[16] Two years later, he returned to the Cup Series and Ware for the 2017 Quaker State 400 at Kentucky, driving the No. 51.[17] McLeod has continued to drive part-time in the No. 51 car, recording his first top 30 finish at Kansas Speedway.[18]

B. J. McLeod Motorsports

Main article: B. J. McLeod Motorsports

McLeod started a driver development program, known as B. J. McLeod Motorsports, running late model and K&N Pro Series East events,[1] and fielded rides for drivers like Matt Tifft[19] and Scott Heckert.[20] In 2014, McLeod partnered with Tommy Regan to field a Truck Series team, the No. 45, for Regan at Iowa Speedway; despite initially having to qualify faster than two other trucks to qualify, Wauters Motorsports and the start and park ride of MB Motorsports withdrew, guaranteeing the No. 45 a spot in the race. Regan finished last after ignition problems on lap one.[21]

The team made its Xfinity Series debut at Daytona in 2016, fielding two cars: the No. 78 and No. 99 Fords. McLeod ran the full season in the 78 and ran the 99 part-time with drivers like Todd Peck, Stanton Barrett and Jeff Green. He also ran a third part-time team, the No. 15, in an alliance with Rick Ware Racing, with Peck driving most of the races.

In 2017, McLeod expanded to two full-time teams; originally the plan was for McLeod to drive the 78 and for Jeff Green to drive the 8 car.[22] The team also entered a 99 car with last year's owner points; however, the team is operated by SS-Green Light Racing. McLeod took the first two races of the season off to put Clint King in the car.[23] Later in the season, at Talladega, Green led the team's first laps and scored its first top ten finish.[24] Green, however, would only drive one more race for the team,[25] as McLeod slotted to the 8 car and a rotation of drivers including Tommy Joe Martins, Jordan Anderson, Angela Ruch, Stephen Young, Josh Bilicki, John Graham and Jennifer Jo Cobb drove the 78.
