KATHERINE LEGGE Pulls Double Duty at Brickyard After Historic NASCAR Debut

July 25, 2025

• KATHERINE LEGGE returns to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for double duty in both NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series during Brickyard Weekend. While she’s familiar with the track from her IndyCar days including the Indy 500, this marks her first stock car experience at the iconic venue.
• Through 10 stock car races this rookie season, LEGGE has shown steady progress despite being “taken out a whole lot,” earning a top-20 Cup Series finish on Chicago’s streets. Her historic March debut made her the first woman since Danica Patrick to start a Cup Series race.
• The pink e.l.f. Cosmetics car that LEGGE initially resisted became a powerful symbol, creating connection with young fans in matching pink jerseys. She’s found renewed motivation in NASCAR’s competitive environment, calling it “new and exciting” compared to her decade-plus sports car racing background.
