KATHERINE LEGGE Passes Cup Series Stars for Gutsy Top 20 Finish at Indianapolis

July 28, 2025

• KATHERINE LEGGE proved her mettle at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, charging from 38th to 17th place in what many consider inadequate equipment from Live Fast Motorsports. The 45-year-old British veteran’s performance stands out even more considering her developmental pit crew averages 16-second four-tire stops, yet she still managed to outpace established Cup Series contenders in the final moments.
• During the chaotic overtime restart, LEGGE showcased the racecraft that’s made her a respected name across multiple series, getting past Shane van Gisbergen’s WeatherTech Chevrolet on the outside through Turn 4. Her determined charge also held off Joe Gibbs Racing’s Chase Briscoe, pushing the former Xfinity champion back to 18th place in a display of pure racing grit.
• After early-season struggles at Phoenix, Rockingham, and Talladega, LEGGE has found her rhythm with back-to-back strong performances, now boasting two top 20 finishes in five Cup starts. Her Indianapolis showing earned praise from NASCAR legend Mark Martin, who publicly lauded both LEGGE and team owner BJ McLeod for their impressive effort in making the most of their resources.
