KATHERINE LEGGE Returns to NASCAR Backed by GM and e.l.f. for 7-Race Program

April 12, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • KATHERINE LEGGE scored major backing from GM Motorsports and e.l.f. Cosmetics for her 2025 NASCAR campaign, spanning seven Cup and Xfinity Series events with Jordan Anderson Racing’s No. 32 Chevrolet. The partnership represents GM’s serious investment in diversifying NASCAR’s ranks, with Dr. Eric Warren calling Legge “relentless” and “a positive role model for other female racers to follow their dreams.”
  • At 44, LEGGE is making her most significant NASCAR push yet, including a redemption run at Phoenix after last year’s incident and a historic return to Xfinity Series competition at Rockingham on April 19 – the first woman to compete in Xfinity since Danica Patrick in 2014. Her schedule includes symbolic venues like Mexico City’s Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, where she made Formula E history in 2019.
  • The e.l.f. Cosmetics partnership targets NASCAR’s growing female fanbase while LEGGE uses her “Throttle Therapy” podcast to mentor aspiring drivers through her open-wheel to stock car transition. With her 2005 Champ Car win as North America’s first female winner and record Indy 500 qualifying speeds as credentials, she’s positioned to prove that talent can overcome tradition in NASCAR’s elite circles.
