• KATHERINE LEGGE returns to Texas Motor Speedway for the Andy’s Frozen Custard 300, carrying a remarkable stat that puts every other Xfinity competitor to shame – she qualified for the 2012 IndyCar race at this same track with a blistering 210.543 mph average speed. That’s faster than anyone else in Saturday’s field has ever gone around the 1.5-mile oval, proving her speed credentials aren’t just talk.
• The 44-year-old’s NASCAR journey continues building momentum after becoming the eighth woman in the modern era to compete in Cup Series and the first since Danica Patrick in 2018. She’s bringing decades of experience from IndyCar, IMSA, and Formula E to stock car racing, along with her trademark meticulous preparation that’s helped her excel across multiple racing disciplines.
• LEGGE will pilot the No. 32 Jordan Anderson Racing Chevrolet sporting a special Desnuda Tequila livery for Cinco de Mayo weekend, featuring a striking dark green base with lighter leaf patterns. The design symbolically represents her turning a new leaf in her storied career, following her recovery from injuries sustained in a 2020 European Le Mans Series crash while driving for Richard Mille Racing’s all-female team.
