GRRL! SUMMARY:

KATHERINE LEGGE was running competitively in her No. 32 Jordan Anderson Racing Chevrolet at Atlanta when a massive multi-car wreck ended her day prematurely. The British driver had weathered a 90-minute weather delay and was positioned for a career-boosting finish before getting caught in the chaos that took out at least ten cars on the restart.
This latest DNF marks the third in four NASCAR Xfinity starts for LEGGE in 2025, adding to mounting frustration as she works to establish herself in stock car racing. Despite having a fast car and good positioning, she became another casualty of superspeedway racing’s brutal reality when Jesse Love’s attempted pass triggered the massive pileup.
Beyond the on-track struggles, LEGGE has faced vicious online harassment including death threats following previous incidents, but she’s refusing to be bullied out of the sport. Her response has been characteristically direct: “I am here to race and I am here to compete” – showing the kind of backbone that’s kept her pushing forward despite the setbacks.
Looking ahead to Chicago’s street race, LEGGE remains optimistic about her NASCAR journey, drawing confidence from her road racing background including a win at Long Beach in her first North American race. Her determination to earn respect through seat time and results continues to fuel her despite the mounting challenges of breaking into NASCAR’s increasingly competitive landscape.
