[edit]In 2009, O'Leary would compete in the ARCA Late Model Gold Cup, where he would finish in the top-fifteen twice in three starts. He would run only two races the following year, where he would get a best finish of twelfth.[1]
In 2011, O'Leary would make his debut in the ARCA Racing Series at Toledo Speedway driving the No. 06 Ford, where he would finish 24th due to a crash. He would nine more races in the year, where he would get a best finish of 23rd at the season finale at Toledo. In 2012, he would run the majority of the races that year, with a majority of his starts coming for Wayne Peterson Racing. He would also make a start for Carter 2 Motorsports in the No. 40 Dodge at the Illinois State Fairgrounds dirt track, where he would get his best finish of the year in thirteenth. After not running in the series for the following year, he would return in 2014 with Carter 2 Motorsports, this time in the No. 97 Dodge, at Michigan International Speedway, where he would finish 25th after only two laps due to engine issues. He would return to Michigan the following year, this time with Wayne Peterson Racing in the No. 0 Ford, where he would finish 20th, albeit 48 laps down.
In 2016, O'Leary would compete in the ARCA Late Model Sportsman R&M Recycling Silver Cup, where he would finish in the top-ten twice with a best result of third at the second race at Toledo. He would finish fourth in the standings the following year at finishing in the top-five in all three races with a best result of third at Flat Rock Speedway. It was also during this year that would make select starts in the CRA Super Series, getting a best finish of 12th at Flat Rock.[1] He would finish third in the Silver Cup points in 2018, this time getting three top-tens and two top-fives with a best result of third at the second Toledo race.[1] In 2019, O'Leary would get his first win in the series at the season opening race at Toledo, and would finish sixth at the next round at Flat Rock before skipping the last race; he would finish eleventh in points.[2]
After a long hiatus from the series and the team, O'Leary would return to Peterson's team for the 2024 Daytona International Speedway pre-practice.[3][4] It was later revealed that he will attempt to make his first ARCA race since 2015, driving the No. 0 Ford for Wayne Peterson Racing at Daytona, although he was then placed in the No. 06 Chevrolet a few days later after the withdrawal of Con Nicolopoulos.[5][6]
