Brad Leighton, born June 12, 1962 in Center Harbor, NH, is a former NASCAR driver. He competed in five career Nationwide Series events in his career. Leighton made his career debut at New Hampshire in May 1997, running the #5 Chevy owned by Terry Labonte. He started the race in 30th and only managed to move to 27th by the end of the day after a late crash. However, Leighton did lead one lap-an impressive stat in his first career start. Leighton's poor results, however, lead to his lack of a ride for 2000 and he has not raced since.
