KATHERINE LEGGE Gets Mark Martin’s Approval for New Watkins Glen Paint Scheme

August 8, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

KATHERINE LEGGE is switching up her look for Watkins Glen, trading her signature e.l.f. Cosmetics blue-and-teal scheme for a sleek black-and-white Desnuda Organic Tequila design on her No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevrolet. NASCAR Hall of Famer Mark Martin gave the new paint job his stamp of approval, posting “I like it @teamlivefast” – because apparently when you’re the only active female driver in Cup Series, even your car changes get the legend treatment.
Let’s talk about what really matters here: LEGGE’s performance trajectory. Her career-best 17th place finish at Indianapolis (climbing 21 spots from her 38th starting position) caught Martin’s attention for all the right reasons. He’s been consistently backing her throughout the season, even when early runs didn’t go to plan, proving that real recognize real in this sport.
Running a part-time schedule in her Cup Series debut year, LEGGE secured that e.l.f. Cosmetics sponsorship deal that’s keeping her competitive in NASCAR’s top tier. We’re watching someone build their legacy one race at a time, showing “bursts of brilliance” that have fans expecting bigger things. The fact that a Hall of Famer is publicly supporting her progress? That’s the kind of validation that matters in a sport where women still have to prove themselves twice as hard.
