B. J. McLeod (born November 17, 1983) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 78 Ford Mustang for B. J. McLeod Motorsports.
Racing career
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 a 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]
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] 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.[6] McLeod made his Sprint Cup Series debut in the 2015 Sylvania 300, driving the No. 33 Chevrolet SS for Circle Sport.[7]
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[8] and Scott Heckert.[9] 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.[10]
