Keegan Leahy: from Jeddore, Nova Scotia to the NASCAR Cup Series with 23XI Racing, and more!
The Maritime Racing Network (MRN)
12/17/23 • 61 min
In this episode, we sit down with Nova Scotian Keegan Leahy and discuss how he came from Jedore, Nova Scotia and landed in Charlotte, North Carolina to work for 23XI Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series! We'll talk about how he turned sim racing in the virtual world into getting a job in the real world with Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan's NASCAR Cup Series race team.
In 2021, Keegan won the e-NASCAR championship on iRacing. The virtual series was sponsored by Coca-Cola, and Keegan took home the $100,000 top prize. What did he do with the money? How did this opportunity come about? How did that turn into getting a job in the NASCAR Cup Series with 23XI Racing? What exactly does he do as a Performance Consultant for 23XI Racing? How closely does he work with drivers Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace? Does he have funny stories about Denny Hamlin? Has he met Michael Jordan? How often is MJ around the team?
We'll get answers to these questions, and more!

On this episode, we discover the roots of the Amercian-Canadian Tour's new full time affiliate Canadian series, the ACT LMS Quebec! Who better to tell us about it than last year's season champion and renowned Canadian racing phenom, Raphael Lessard. The ACT has strong ties to the Maritimes, and Raphael has raced in Atlantic Canada, competing in the Irving Blending & Packaging Pro Stock 250 at Speedway 660 in September 2015 (at the age of 14!)
We cover some basic history of the American-Canadian Tour and how ACT LMS Quebec was born. We'll review last season, and look ahead to this upcoming season. Of course, we cover some of the highlights of Raphael's career, from his quick ascension through the late model ranks at a very young age to his Nascar Truck Series win at Talladega!
