Leonard Motorsports

Greg Leonard drove the #3 Chevrolet Silverado Pro Truck, owned by Peter Hennessey of HennesseyRacing, to the 2004 Pro-Truck Division Championship at the Altamont Motorsports Park in Tracy, CA.

Born in San Francisco, Greg grew up in Daly City's Westlake district and now resides in Sunnyvale, CA, with his wife Lindsay and two sons. He graduated from Burlingame High on the Peninsula where he excelled at tail-back position on the varsity football squad. Injured in his senior year, he began paying more attention to his drag-racing hobby once again, despite coaches' and recruiters' advice to concentrate on training/preparation for collegiate-level football. But auto racing has been his real motivation since childhood, even though he had participated in several sports throughout his early years. After high school, and while drawing pay as a mechanic to help fund racing equipment, he started building cars. He became a top race-car fabricator while also competing in several drag- racing events, such as the "Fastest Street Car Shootouts", driving a '69 Camaro most of the time. Drag racing then evolved into circle-track competition, as a builder and driver.

Greg owns and runs LMS, a metal-fabrication business in So. San Francisco, CA, which has been in operation and serving the Bay Area since 2000. His fully-equipped facility also houses race-car Teams 3 & 32. Despite the busy schedule that comes with family, racing, and growing a company, Greg has stayed busy in other activities during that same period, such as coaching the Hillside Panthers
4th-5th grade football teams for six consecutive years.

Greg has compiled an impressive circle short-track record in a relatively short period of time. With the Truck Championship, and numerous Wins, Poles, and Top 5's & 10's under his belt in the Trucks and other divisions, Greg believes he now has the adequate experience and ability to compete formidably within NASCAR's higher levels. Others strongly agree.

Jalil Jaber is the crew chief for Greg Leonard. Together, this duo has had checkered success. Jalil works hard to keep that competitive edge and has always strived for excellence. While handling all the duties that come along with being the crew chief he is also the spotter on race day, making him a very busy crew member. In addition to being involved with the team, he still finds time to drag race, running his own Blown Injected-Alcohol Outlaw ‘70 Chevelle capable of running in the 8's at over 160 mph on a 10" tire. Jalil is also the owner and founder of RDR Inc. (Real Deal Racing, Inc.). With many years of racing experience behind him, he is a tremendous asset to this team.

Home Town: Alameda, CA.
Experience: In addition to his current 3-years experience in chassis tuning of a Sportsman Late-Model and 1-year of a Pro Truck, Jalil has 10 years drag racing experience, including building and tuning engines. He was also a crew member of an IMCA Dirt-Modified car for 2 years.
Hobbies: Restoring award winning classic Chevelles. "Making money, driving fast, and spending time with my family, not in any particular order." – Jalil

Alex Henry holds the position of car chief, a supporting roll to crew chief Jalil. Primarily, he assists the team in many areas as well as being the rear tire changer on race day. Alex, who is the newest crew member on this team, possesses a strong desire to succeed, a desire which was most apparent in his successful battle with Hodgkins Lymphoma Cancer at the age of 18. With chassis tuning being his main interest, Alex brings talent, charisma and a new “no-lose attitude” to the team. All done with a smile.

Steffen Mueller's main job for the team is keeping the body panels straight week after week in the shop and at the track, as well as being the jack man on race day. Steffen is the longest-seniority and most dedicated crew member on the team who has accumulated many jobs along the way, keeping the #32 and #3 Chevrolets in winning form. Steffen has always handled these challenging responsibilities in addition to being the shop foreman.

Home Town: San Bruno, CA (Born In: Frankfurt, Germany).
Experience: While he has gained many years experience in hanging and maintaining body panels for TEAM 32, Steffen also has over 10 years experience in the Auto Body and Paint field.
