Leitz's No. 92 car at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2024.

Leitz made his Truck Series debut in the 2022 race at Nashville, driving the No. 43 truck for Reaume Brothers Racing. [1] He ran two more races later in the year in the team's No. 33 truck (Richmond and Homestead-Miami).

On May 1, 2023, it was announced that Leitz would run three races (Kansas in May, Nashville and Homestead-Miami) for Young's Motorsports in their No. 20 truck. [2] After it was announced that Greg Van Alst would drive the No. 20 truck for the rest of the 2023 season starting at IRP, [3] it was assumed that Leitz would drive the team's No. 02 truck instead at Homestead-Miami, as the truck had a rotation of drivers and no driver had been announced for that race. However, Brad Perez would end up driving the No. 02 truck at Homestead-Miami and Leitz would stay in the No. 20 with Van Alst not running that race. Leitz also made his Xfinity Series debut that year in the race at Kansas, driving the No. 38 car for RSS Racing in place of Joe Graf Jr. who was driving the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 19 car in that race instead.
