Loenbro Motorsports announced that the little brother of Michael Leach, Tyler, will make his super late model debut this week with the Summer Nationals.
The team posted on Facebook, “The 05 of Tyler Leach will be making his super late model debut this week at Summer Nationals!”
While he will be making his debut with the Summer Nationals, he will not be running the entire tour, “He’s not going to be running the whole tour due to other racing obligations which we will post about soon as well!”
Nevertheless, this will be the first time he will be competing alongside his brother Michael in a super late model, “He and his brother Michael Leach of the 09 will be racing together for the first time together at this level! We are super exited for Tyler’s next steps in his motorsports career!”
Tyler Leach has been competing in a modified this year. In 12 features since the beginning of May, he’s bagged two wins, 8 Top 5s, and 10 Top 10s. His two wins came at Electric City Speedway. First, he won with the IMCA Modifieds on May 23rd and then this past weekend on June 6th.
Michael Leach made five starts in the series last year and had 3 Top 10s. Those 3 Top 10s came at Sycamore Speedway with a 9th, Wilmot Speedway with a 6th, and Davenport Speedway with a 9th. In 24 features this year, he’s had 1 win, 2 Top 5s, and 5 Top 10s. His lone win was back in February at Volusia Speedway Park during the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals.
