McLeod Jr.[1][2] (born November 17, 1983) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner.

He co-owns Live Fast Motorsports (along with Joe Falk), a NASCAR Cup Series team which fields the No.

[3] He was noted around the Southeast for being the youngest driver in several of the divisions he competed in as a teenager, including the Hooters Pro Cup.

[5] The following year, he ran an American Speed Association National Tour race at Fairgrounds Speedway for Herzog Motorsports, finishing 15th.

[6] After a test session with Herzog, McLeod had an agreement in place to run a limited NASCAR Busch Series schedule for the team in 2002 but it never materialized.

[9] In 2012, McLeod again ran a partial schedule, this time with RSS, Glenden Enterprises and Hillman Racing.

[13] While running a 2016 full-time Xfinity schedule, McLeod came back to the Trucks with SSGLR for one race in 2016, turning in a top-fifteen, lead-lap finish at Kansas Speedway in the No.

McLeod also made one additional attempt with both Harmon and Reaume's teams that year, which ended up being DNQs.

McLeod made one start for Vizion Motorsports using Beaver's owner points in 2019 along with one DNQ for Jacob Wallace Racing.

[15] In 2014, he ran an ARCA Racing Series event at Pocono Raceway for Venturini Motorsports, finishing 27th.

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.

[21] Two years later, he returned to the Cup Series and Ware for the 2017 Quaker State 400 at Kentucky, driving the No.

52, where he, Aric Almirola, and Quin Houff crashed on the backstretch on lap 160, causing him to finish 38th.

McLeod, running for his newly created Live Fast Motorsports team, survived the chaos throughout the 2021 Coke Zero Sugar 400 to initially finish in 10th place.

After LFM sold their charter to Spire Motorsports at the end of the 2023 season, the team scaled back to running part-time.

[35] Later in the season, at Talladega, Green led the team's first laps and scored its first top ten finish.

[36] Green, however, would only drive one more race for the team,[37] 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.

On October 23, 2020, McLeod and Matt Tifft purchased Archie St. Hilare's half of Go Fas Racing's charter and formed Live Fast Motorsports.

[40] He ran a total of five races with LFM and two with MBM Motorsports in 2024 and finished 51st in the drivers' points standings.
