KATHERINE LEGGE Takes Another Hit as Almirola’s Bad Call Wrecks Talladega Hopes

April 27, 2025

• KATHERINE LEGGE got collected in yet another wreck at Talladega when Aric Almirola moved up into her lane too quickly after a spotter miscommunication. The collision triggered a massive crash that also caught Brandon Jones, ending what looked like LEGGE’s shot at her first Xfinity Series finish of the season.
• Almirola took full responsibility for the incident, admitting he moved without checking his mirrors and “turned across Katherine’s nose.” His spotter insisted the track was clear when he made the call, but the timing was off – a costly mistake that shows how crucial split-second communication is in pack racing.
• For LEGGE, this marks two consecutive weekends of bad luck after also being caught up in a wreck at Rockingham. Despite the frustration, she stayed characteristically determined: “Can’t catch a break… One of these days we’re gonna get ’em.” Her resilience in the face of circumstances beyond her control continues to impress.
