Katherine Legge is set to make history as she becomes the first woman to compete in a NASCAR Cup Series race since Danica Patrick in 2018. The 44-year-old native of England will be driving the No. 78 Chevrolet for Live Fast Motorsports at Phoenix Raceway this Sunday.
Legge has previously made five starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and most recently raced in NASCAR at Road America in 2023. She also participated in the ARCA race at Daytona International Speedway last month. With a diverse racing background, Legge has competed in various series, including seven IndyCar Series starts last season. Notably, she holds the record for the fastest qualifying time by a woman in the Indianapolis 500.
