Introduction

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.

Racing career

2016 Xfinity Series car at Road America

Early in his career, McLeod was a super late model driver in the Southeast. 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. The following year, he ran an American Speed Association National Tour race at Fairgrounds Speedway for Herzog Motorsports, finishing 15th. In 2014, he ran an ARCA Racing Series event at Pocono Raceway for Venturini Motorsports, finishing 27th.

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. 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. McLeod made his Sprint Cup Series debut in the 2015 Sylvania 300, driving the No. 33 Chevrolet SS for Circle Sport.

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, and fielded rides for drivers like Matt Tifft and Scott Heckert. 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. The team made its Xfinity Series debut at Daytona, fielding two full-time cars: the No. 78 and No. 99 Fords.
