Mike Leaty has been around NASCAR auto racing his whole life. From 1996-1999 he worked as a mechanic on his father’s Featherlite Modified, where he had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Before that Mike raced a go-cart at a couple local tracks and brought home a track championship at the age of 12.

In 2000, Mike started racing a street stock. He had a good rookie year winning one feature, finishing in the top ten in points and followed that up the next season by winning three features, and missing the season championship by only a few points.



The 2002 season was the most challenging yet as Mike moved up into Spencer’s feature division, the Nascar Modifieds. He did very well, winning one feature event and finishing 5th in the final points standings. The 2006 and 2007 seasons were Mikes most successful yet as he was able to win back to back track championships at Spencer Speedway.  Mikes success in a racecar has come very quickly and at age 30 he is already in the top 15 on the Spencer Speedway career modified feature win list. He has also moved his MPL Motorsports team up to the ultra competitive Dart RoC Modified Tour and won his first ever series race, the Richie Evans Memorial 100 at Oswego Speedway. Mike now has 2 RoC modified tour wins to his credit and this season he will be looking to add more victories to that total and compete for the tour championship.  He will also be returning to Spencer Speedway behind the wheel of a Sunoco modified in a HJ motorsports entry.  It should be a very exciting racing season.
