KATHERINE LEGGE Takes on NASCAR Cup Series Field at Chicago Street Course

July 4, 2025

• KATHERINE LEGGE enters the NASCAR Cup Series field for the Grant Park 165 at Chicago Street Course, marking her participation in what could be the final year for the street course before potential changes to Chicagoland or San Diego. She’s listed at +34000 odds among a crowded field of more than 40 entries – the first Cup race since 2018 outside the Daytona 500 with this many competitors.
• The veteran road course specialist joins a competitive field where consistency and track position will be crucial factors. With 12 different winners already this season and just eight regular season races remaining, every entry in this oversized field represents the intensity of the playoff chase where one open car will go home after qualifying.
• LEGGE’s inclusion in this historic field size demonstrates the drawing power of the Chicago Street Course format, as NASCAR heads into what rumors suggest could be the course’s final year. Her road racing experience positions her well for the technical demands of the street circuit, even as she faces long odds in a field packed with playoff contenders and road course specialists.
