Driver Bio:

Leh Keen returns to the ALMS in 2012 in the GT Challenge class with Alex Job Racing teaming with Cooper MacNeil and LP Dumouling. Keen`s rise to the top of International GT Sportscar Racing has been almost as fast as his lap times at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriquez in Mexico City. After poles and wins in just about every amateur race entered, Leh ran three professional races in the prestigious Rolex Grand American Series at the end of the 2004 season - capturing two podiums.

 

Six years later, Keen won the 2010 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in the #81 Alex Job Racing Mission Foods Porsche, and finished 2nd at both the 24 Hours of Nurburgring and 24 Hours of Le Mans with Hankook Team Farnbacher in the #89 Ferrari.

When not racing, Keen works at GSC Motorsports in Charleston, SC in marketing and sales. On the street he drives a 600 horsepower Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R and 2010 BMW M3.

Keen`s hobbies include jet skiing, boating, snow boarding, photography and guns.
