KATHERINE LEGGE Gets Brutally Honest About Her Humbling NASCAR Journey

• KATHERINE LEGGE, the 44-year-old British racing veteran with four Indy 500 starts and endurance racing credentials, is learning that NASCAR doesn’t care about your resume. Her Cup Series debut at Phoenix ended in contact with Daniel Suárez, and she’s been grinding through the Xfinity Series ever since, most recently finishing 34th at Charlotte with a DNF.
• The refreshingly honest confession we need more of: “I thought that I was a lot better than I am,” LEGGE admitted ahead of NASCAR’s Mexico City debut. She expected to jump in and immediately run up front – a humbling reality check that shows even seasoned pros underestimate stock car racing’s unique demands and the sheer depth of talent across every NASCAR division.
• While setbacks might derail others, LEGGE’s approaching this challenge with the kind of determination that got her to four Indy 500s and countless endurance victories. She calls NASCAR “the toughest beast to tame” but remains committed to the fight, proving that real champions adapt rather than retreat when facing unfamiliar territory.
