NASCAR and ARCA career

[edit]

In 2005, Leicht moved to Wisconsin to work with veteranAmerican Speed Association crew chief Howie Lettow.^[1] Leicht collected five wins en route to winning the national championship in theAmerican Speed Association Late Model series forWalTom Racing.^[1] He won both races that he attempted in theAmerican StockCar League. He finished first or second in thirteen of sixteen events that entered between the two series. He started eighth in his Busch series debut atMemphis Motorsports Park, and finished thirteenth. He ran another race atPhoenix, starting seventeenth and finishing nineteenth.

In 2006, Leicht ranARCA Re/Max Series events for Yates Racing and WalTom Racing. He earned his first career ARCA series win in his second career start atNashville Superspeedway in April.^[2] He also made four Busch series starts in 2006, posting two top-ten qualifying efforts. On July 23, he made his firstNextel Cup Series start in thePennsylvania 500 atPocono Raceway forYates Racing, qualifying 36th and finishing 33rd, one lap behind.

In 2007, Leicht ran the fullNASCAR Busch Series schedule. He won his first race atKentucky Speedway and finished seventh in the final drivers' points ranking. At the end of the season,Robert Yates Racing released Leicht from his contract because of sponsorship and finance issues. 2008 saw Leicht land a part-time stint inRichard Childress' No. 21 Nationwide car, sharing driving duties withBobby Labonte. Leicht ran four races with a best finish of seventh atPhoenix International Raceway. However, after Talladega, a lack of sponsorship sidelined Leicht until Texas in the fall, where he finished eighteenth.

Leicht's Nationwide car in 2009 at Milwaukee

In 2009, Leicht drove the No. 29Chevrolet Impala in thirteen races. Leicht was originally slated to run 23 events, but his races were nearly halved by the addition ofClint Bowyer as co-driver. He ran nine total races and had six top-ten finishes. He was released from RCR at the end of the year and signed to attempt 29 races forD'Hondt Humphrey Motorsports in the No. 91 car in 2010, but was released after two races.

Leicht competed in his first NASCAR race since 2009 (and his first Sprint Cup start since 2006) inTommy Baldwin Racing's No. 36 Chevrolet in 2011, while regular driverDave Blaney piloted the team's second car, the No. 35 Chevrolet. The move gave Leicht a guaranteed start while Blaney had to qualify on time. Blaney finished nineteenth while Leicht finished 24th despite running in the top-ten most of the race.

Leicht drove forJoe Falk at Richmond in April 2012, qualifying 40th and finishing 35th, running at the end but finishing nine laps down. After skippingTalladega, he filed to compete forRookie of the Year in the Sprint Cup Series,^[3] with plans to run the majority of the remainder of the season in the No. 33, except for the June race in Michigan, whenRichard Childress Racing driverAustin Dillon drove the No. 33.^[4]

Leicht's best finish of 2012 was 26th at Watkins Glen, ending on the lead lap. He attempted 21 races and competed in fifteen, and won the seriesRookie of the Year award for 2012.^[5] After a four-year absence in NASCAR, on January 10, 2017, Leicht received a ride to drive the No. 77Chevrolet Camaro forObaika Racing starting at Daytona. However, Leicht moved to Obaika's primary No. 97 car for Daytona, causing the No. 77 to withdraw. Leicht attempted the first six races in the 97 as astart and park operation. Leicht only qualified for four races, failing to qualify at Daytona and Texas. Leicht was left without a ride when the 97 scaled back its schedule after the sixth race. Leicht raced at Charlotte in the No. 93 forRSS Racing, start and parking the car. In July, Leicht made his return to the Cup Series atPocono, driving the No. 83 forBK Racing.^[6]

On January 22, 2018, it was announced that Leicht is tabbed as a full-time driver for a newly formed teamJP Motorsports. Leicht finished fifteenth after avoiding multiple crashes at Daytona. He was replaced byJennifer Jo Cobb at Talladega since she brought sponsorship. On May 22, 2018, it was announced that Leicht and JP Motorsports parted ways and was replaced byBrandon Hightower. On July 28, Leicht returned to No. 93 forRSS Racing atIowa Speedway start and parked it. The following week, Leicht drove the No. 74 forMike Harmon Racing atWatkins Glen International, where he didn't qualify for the race.
