• KATHERINE LEGGE sits in an impressive second position for Saturday’s qualifying session at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, putting her right behind JJ Yeley in the qualifying order. With a metric score of 39.8, she’s positioned ahead of notable names including Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch.
• The qualifying order combines previous race finish by owner (70%) and current owner points position (30%), meaning LEGGE’s strong placement reflects consistent performance throughout the season. Saturday’s single-round, single-lap format puts extra pressure on drivers to nail their one shot at a good starting position.
• This Round of 8 positioning gives LEGGE a strategic advantage heading into Sunday’s 5:30 p.m. ET race, where track position at Las Vegas can be crucial for staying competitive throughout the 400-mile distance. The veteran driver will look to capitalize on this favorable starting spot in one of NASCAR’s most competitive playoff rounds.
