Alexander Sybilton

Alexander Louis Sybilton, III is a British racing driver from Kensington, United Kingdom.

He currently races in the Vaughn Stock Car Championship, but had expressed an interest in moving to ARLA Elite Series for the 2012 season (see 2012 U.S. visa controversy, below). In the VSCC, he shares a car with Kendall Worthington and Andrew Tammerzan. Alexander used his family's fortune to buy a ride in several racing series on both sides of the Atlantic, most notably in British Touring Cars and the VSCC. Recently, he has expressed an interest in using his birth name in his racing endeavors, something he hasn't done since his exploits in the Punjab.

After the 2012 Dash Cup Japanese GP, Sybilton replaced the underperforming Lucas D'Ambrosio at Peregrine Autosport. He won his first race at Motegi and some raised questions as to the cars legality.

Personal life
Sybilton comes from an aristocratic British family, and has used his family inheritance to fund his racing exploits. He raced under the pseudonym of "Alexander Leanowens" to avoid being labeled as a ride buyer in British Touring Cars. He is known to be what he describes as a "proud Brit". Sybilton is also enthusiastic about fine food and wine. He lives in his family's estate in the Lincolnshire area. He has dated his girlfriend, Evangeline, for the past year and a half. Sybilton is one of the investors in a London based aerospace themed dining company. He and the co investors are attempting to acquire the partially dismantled Shuttle 2.03, a remnant of the Russian Buran program.

2012 U.S. visa controversy
Leanowens expressed interest in competing in the ARLA Elite Series in 2012 and had even signed a contract with Brinson Engineering to run a second car for the team. However, on January 25, 2012, Sybilton landed at the Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport via private jet from England. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials asked for his work visa. Sybilton refused (he had not filed for a Visa) and was engaged in an argument with a TSA agent he described as a "idiot yank". The outburst cost him his visa and his AR.

Sybilton (in the US) has focused on the RROL. He won his first victory at Martinsville.
