Katherine Legge will ride in the XFinity or Cup series in 12 of the next 18 weekends, while working to a more competition -Nascar schedule and shows that despite what happened at Phoenix, “I’m a damn good race car driver.”
Legge’s schedule until mid -August was announced Tuesday morning. The 44-year-old of Guilford, England, whose diverse career in Motorsport in Indycars, IMSA and Formula E, is focused on NASCAR. She became the first woman to participate in a cup of cup earlier this season.
Legge holds seven XFinity races with Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito AutoSport, starts with Saturday’s race on Rockingham Speedway. Legge will compete in five cup races with Live Fast Motorsports. Her sponsors are eleven Cosmetics, Droplight, Sherfick Companies and Desnuda Tequila.
Four of her five cup races – Mexico City, Chicago Street Race, Sonoma and Watkins Glen – will be on a road or street lane, which fits her background in racing. Her other cup is scheduled to be at Richmond on August 17.
Richmond will start her first cup on an oval since making her series debut in March at Phoenix. She spun twice in the race. The second turn collected Daniel Suarez, which led to online criticism and also elicited a debate on NASCAR approval process for drivers.
Katherine Legge and Helio CastroneVes had their shares of up and downs in their cup debut this season.
Legge said she was aware of the comments, but was focused on moving forward to running her goal to run in Nascar regularly.
“I must have licked my wounds,” Legge told NBC Sports, “but I have not been in motorsports in motorsports for 20 years.
“I know (Phoenix) wasn’t my best job. I made a mistake, right? I made a lot of mistakes during the race, trying to reduce them. … and then there was the one mistake that ended Daniel’s race and cost my reputation, which I intended to get back. But it was a mistake.
“You see that these guys make mistakes, even if they have been doing it for decades. To be ruined on one mistake, I feel like it was unfair. I am a damn good race car driver, and I will come back and prove that it was just a blip on the radar. “
Legge’s previous Nascar experience before this year was Four XFinity in 2018 and one XFINITY started in 2023.
Bristol, tenn. – A look at the winners and losers of Sunday’s cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
This schedule in August gives her a steady diet of the experience of stock car.
“It is actually invaluable to get some kind of continuity and experience going on to display some kind that I am capable of,” Legge told NBC Sports.
She will also drive a mixture of tracks. After Rockingham, she will do the next four XFinity races, which compete in Talladega, Texas, Charlotte and Nashville. Then she moves to the cup series for the first series race in Mexico City on June 15.
“I look forward to it a lot,” Legge said of the event at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. “We tried to get things together for Cota in time, but unfortunately we didn’t. There is another level of ease associated with left and right.
“I’m also excited to do the oval. I want to come to Richmond as much as I want to come to Mexico just because I want the monkey of my back, and I want to prove to myself that it was just a minor blip and that we can go well. “
But her schedule may not end after the Richmond race. The rest of the season is deliberately not included if there is a specific style of track that Nascar wants her to gain more experience.
“This is what we need to get NASCAR permission to run where I want when I want, which is the end,” Legge said.
This could lead to a possible Daytona 500 run and perhaps even a return to the Indianapolis 500 next year, which chases her one of the few that in the same season in the signature for Nascar and Indycar.
“I want to do everything I can to A, experience all things and B, to be the best driver I can be and leave a legacy,” she said, “and open the door for the next generation.”
