KATHERINE LEGGE Finishes 31st in NASCAR Cup Series Debut at Las Vegas

October 13, 2025

• KATHERINE LEGGE made her mark in the NASCAR Cup Series field at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, completing 261 of 267 laps in the South Point 400 and finishing 31st in her Chevrolet. While the finish position might not turn heads, completing 98% of the race distance in what appears to be a Cup Series appearance shows the kind of persistence we need to see more of in the top series.
• The race was won by Denny Hamlin in a dramatic finish, but LEGGE’s steady drive through 261 laps demonstrates exactly the kind of opportunity female drivers deserve more of in NASCAR’s premier series. Her completion rate puts her ahead of several other competitors who had mechanical issues or crashes throughout the 267-lap event.
• With playoff drama swirling around drivers like Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott, LEGGE quietly did her job and brought her car home in one piece – something that’s become increasingly rare in today’s aggressive racing environment. We’ll be watching to see if this Cup Series appearance opens more doors for future opportunities in NASCAR’s top series.
