A HUGE congratulations to our nephew Tony on his national event win at BIR yesterday. What an accomplishment!

Today is what dreams are made of! I’ve raced in a handful of National events and never seemed to fare very well until this one. Every round was a battle over the last three days - great cars, great competitors from all over the country. Every win is special but this is one for the books - first ever National event win and at our home track.

Grateful for all the support and congratulatory messages. What made today feel even more special was fellow racers who were packed up and could have headed home to their families but stayed to watch and support us. People in the stands stopping by the trailer or texting to say congratulations. They say it takes a village and today we felt the support of the village.

A special thank you my family, friends and fellow racers for their support on and off the track.

This car has been incredible the last couple times out after making a few tweaks. Always fun to watch people’s reaction when it hits, almost stops, and goes back to full throttle - it’s a fun ride.

We finally got to get out there and play in the clay tonight! Bubs ran 5 out of 8 laps of the heat with a flat tire - finished second. He lost a cylinder in the feature and ended up eighth. We'll get some work done on it this week and try again next Saturday! 🏁

We weren’t lying on purpose when we said Sunday would be the final NHRA points day of the season! After two rounds, rain forced the final St Louis event to be completed on Monday. The dragster had fallen in round 2, but we were able to put the trusty Nova in its 2nd Super Street final round of the year!

The trophy eluded us once again, but we did walk away with the Division 5 points lead! We’ll be keeping a close eye on the final few races out west as there are plenty of capable racers within striking distance.

We are also tied for 2nd place in the Super Comp standings and will be watching to see where we end up in that category when the dust settles.

Truly a dream outcome to this point with lots of highs and lows that every race season brings. Many thanks to Transmission Shop Inc of Burnsville and Bubba's Auto Salvage and Machine for the great work and support along the way!

Way to go Leonard Racing! 🏁❤️ Proud of you!

What a weekend at Cedar Falls Motorsports Park for the Triple 777s Bracket Series!

Kicked the weekend off on Friday with a Round 4 exit in Box and took the No-Box entry to Round 8 where we fell in the final No-Box pair with 6 total cars remaining.

Saturday was a relaxing day after a pair of Round 2 losses.

We were well-rested for Sunday and came out swinging. The No-Box entry fell in Round 4 after a close red light start, but we took the Box entry all the way to the 10th and final round before losing a close race for the big check and $7,000 prize.

The trusty Nova was a wheelie wagon all weekend and was very fun to drive, and the engine/transmission combination from Bubba's Auto Salvage and Machine and Transmission Shop Inc of Burnsville didn’t miss a beat, as usual.

We’ll be back on the road in just a couple days for the NHRA divisional/national event combo in Brainerd, MN. Thank you for supporting Leonard Racing and stay tuned!
