GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • KATHERINE LEGGE delivered her career-best NASCAR Cup finish at Indianapolis, climbing from 38th to 17th in the Brickyard 400. Starting deep in the field, she methodically worked her way forward throughout the race, running 30th after Stage 1 and 23rd after Stage 2 before making a bold late-race charge that briefly put her in the top five.
  • The Live Fast Motorsports driver’s performance wasn’t just impressive by her standards – it was legitimately competitive racing that caught the attention of NASCAR veterans and rising stars alike. With less than 30 laps remaining, LEGGE was running second before late restarts shuffled the field, but her 17th-place finish marked her second top-20 of the season and best Cup result to date.
  • NASCAR Truck Series driver Rajah Caruth led the praise parade on social media, shouting out LEGGE’s performance to his 32,000+ followers, while legend Mark Martin called her run “very impressive.” This kind of recognition matters – when your peers notice and celebrate your work, it’s proof that the performance was genuine, not just a fluke of circumstance or strategy.

UPCOMING:

  • NASCAR Cup Series continues with upcoming playoff races
  • NASCAR Truck Series playoff rounds featuring Rajah Caruth
