Racing career

Leitz made his Truck Series debut in the 2022 race at Nashville, driving the No. 43 truck for Reaume Brothers Racing.[1] He ran two more races later in the year in the team's No. 33 truck (Richmond and Homestead-Miami). On May 1, 2023, it was announced that Leitz would run three races (Kansas in May, Nashville and Homestead-Miami) for Young's Motorsports in their No. 20 truck.[2] After it was announced that Greg Van Alst would drive the No. 20 truck for the rest of the 2023 season starting at IRP,[3] it was assumed that Leitz would drive the team's No. 02 truck instead at Homestead, as the truck had a rotation of drivers and no driver had been announced for that race. However, Brad Perez would end up driving the No. 02 truck at Homestead, and Leitz would stay in the No. 20 with Van Alst not running that race. Leitz also made his Xfinity Series debut that year in the race at Kansas, driving the No. 38 car for RSS Racing in place of Joe Graf Jr. who was driving the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 19 car in that race instead.[4]

Leitz's No. 92 car at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March 2024.
Leitz's No. 07 car at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in October 2025.

In 2024, Leitz made six starts in the Xfinity Series driving for DGM Racing, all in their No. 92 car.[5]

In 2025, Leitz returned to the Xfinity Series part-time, joining SS-Green Light Racing to drive their No. 07 car, sharing it with Patrick Emerling and Alex Labbé.[6] In the season finale at Phoenix Raceway, RSS brought him back to drive their No. 28 car in place of Kyle Sieg, who moved to his brother Ryan Sieg's No. 39 car for this race after Ryan got an opportunity to drive the Haas Factory Team No. 41 car in place of the suspended Sam Mayer after Mayer intentionally crashed Jeb Burton after the checkered flag in the previous race at Martinsville.[citation needed]

On February 9, 2026, it was announced that Leitz will drive the No. 5 Toyota for Tricon Garage at the season opening race for the Truck Series at Daytona International Speedway.[7]
