Leonard was the lead engineer for the No. 95 car this season. He became the interim crew chief after Travis Mack was relieved of his duties in June.
Leonard broke into NASCAR with Richard Childress Racing in January 2012 in its Xfinity Series program. In 2016, he moved up to the position of second engineer for Ryan Newman’s Cup team at RCR. Leonard joined Leavine Family Racing, which was affiliated with RCR, after the season.
