Butch Leitzinger is an American professional racing driver competing in International GT, a moderately skilled sprint racing series positioned between entry-level GT4 America and the stronger IMSA Prototype Challenge. His record on the current database spans from 2022 to 2026 with six starts, five podiums and no wins, giving him an average finishing position of P2.8. His Racer Rating of 1,713 places him in the lower half of the active professional field, reflecting competition primarily against ungraded amateur and gentleman drivers rather than the graded professionals and national-level champions who constitute the series' minority.[1]
In head-to-head racing, Leitzinger has struggled against the stronger professionals in his grid. He finished behind Reg Williams in all five races they shared and behind Tom Long in all three; against Tom Pank, a three-time champion, he holds a 1-4 record. However, he has occasionally beaten competitors at the professional level, including a single win against FIA Silver graded Michai Stephens and one against three-time champion Pank. His most consistent results have come against lower-tier drivers such as FIA Bronze graded Cory Friedman and Lonnie Pechnik, whom he has beaten multiple times. Leitzinger remains active as of 2026, most recently competing at a single round where he finished tenth.[2]
