BJ McLeod will return to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway, driving for Spire Motorsports, the team announced May 16.
McLeod will drive Spire’s No. 07 with sponsorship from Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster.
“Getting to race again in the NASCAR truck series with an incredible team is an honor,” McLeod said in a team release. “It’s a perfect partnership with Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster — speed, adrenaline, and pure excitement — both on the track and in the mountains. We’re ready to put on a show for the fans and make this ride one to remember.”
The race will mark McLeod’s first in the series since 2021, when he made two starts for Reaume Brothers Racing. He has 41 appearances in the series since 2010.
So far in 2025, McLeod has made two NASCAR Cup Series races in his own Live Fast Motorsports No. 78, while also failing to qualify for the Daytona 500.
