Team Leader Motorsports was a racing team owned by R. Kent Baker in the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series that participated in the 2006 Indianapolis 500 and entered the 2007 race. Team Leader participated in the 2006 race in partnership with CURB/Agajanian/Beck Motorsports.[https://www.crash.net/indycar/news/23233/1/beck-team-lands-major-sponsor-for-indy Beck team lands major sponsor for Indy],

Crash.net, May 15, 2006, Retrieved 2023-06-06 In 2007 the two teams became separate entities. Their 2007 entry was modeled to appear similar to driver P. J. Jones' father Parnelli Jones' STP-Paxton Turbocar that he drove in the 1967 race. Jones and the team were unable to find enough speed to qualify for the 2007 race.[https://doctorindy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2007.pdf Indy 500 Daily Reports DAY 13 – Sunday, May 20, 2007 – Bump Day Qualifying Page 7], Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Retrieved 2023-06-06 The team did not make an appearance in 2008.

Baker previously owned R. Kent Baker Racing which was active from 1988 to 1991.
