• KATHERINE LEGGE had her best NASCAR weekend yet at Talladega, running competitively in the No. 32 Chevrolet before getting collected in a crash that wasn’t her fault. Aric Almirola moved up track too late on a spotter’s call, wiping out multiple cars including Legge’s with just 13 laps remaining.
• The British driver briefly led during a green-flag pit cycle, becoming the fourth woman to lead in Xfinity Series history, though she jokingly dismissed the record since it happened under caution conditions. Despite the crash ending her day, LEGGE was all smiles about her car’s performance and speed.
• After three consecutive DNFs to start her NASCAR career, LEGGE pushed back against premature judgments, telling critics that “my performance and not my gender is what defines me as a competitor” and calling for more accountability from fans and social media platforms to create safer environments for all drivers.
