KATHERINE LEGGE Gets Strategic Backing from BJ McLeod for NASCAR Playoff Push

August 23, 2025

• BJ McLeod is putting his money where his mouth is, stepping back from his own NASCAR ambitions to strategically map out KATHERINE LEGGE’s remaining 2025 schedule. From Daytona to the Roval, every decision centers on giving her the best shot to finish strong – and we’re here for a team owner who actually backs up his belief in women’s talent with concrete action.
• LEGGE has delivered the receipts this season, notching Live Fast Motorsports’ first-ever back-to-back top-20 finishes and posting a career-best 17th at Indianapolis. With six Cup starts under her belt plus Xfinity competition at Rockingham, Talladega, and Texas, she’s proving her versatility across NASCAR’s ladder while making 2025 the team’s most successful season yet.
• McLeod isn’t just talking diversity – he’s restructuring his entire approach around LEGGE’s development, even selling the team’s $40 million charter while maintaining their competitive edge. His push for rule changes allowing more Cup drivers in Xfinity and Trucks shows he understands what rising talent needs: the chance to race against the best to become the best.
