Katherine Legge returns to Cup Series with start at Las Vegas
NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Katherine Legge (32) talks Saturday, July 26, 2025, ahead of qualifying for the Pennzoil 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Katherine Legge will make her seventh NASCAR Cup Series start of the season for Live Fast Motorsports on Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The team announced Monday that Legge is tagging in behind the wheel of the No. 78 Desnuda Organic Tequila Chevrolet for part-time driver and team owner B.J. McLeod.
"We're honored to have Katherine back with us in the Desnuda car," McLeod said in a press release. "Her talent and professionalism bring tremendous value to the team, and her leadership as a trailblazer continues to inspire both inside and outside of racing."
When Legge competed at Phoenix Raceway in the fourth week of the season, she became the first woman to drive in the Cup Series since Danica Patrick's final appearance in 2018.
She finished 30th at Phoenix and has made five additional starts in the No. 78 car since then, her best finish coming at the Brickyard 400 (17th place).
The Brit, 45, has also driven in the Xfinity Series, IndyCar, IMSA and Formula E throughout her career.
