Katherine Legge will make her NASCAR Cup Series debut this weekend at Phoenix Raceway, becoming the first woman to compete in a Cup Series race since Danica Patrick at the 2018 Daytona 500.
The 44-year-old Legge, a native of England, will drive the No. 78 Chevrolet in Sunday's Shriners Children's 500, Live Fast Motorsports announced Monday.
Legge has five career starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, most recently at Road America in 2023.
She ran a partial schedule in the IndyCar Series in 2024 and has made four starts at the Indianapolis 500, where she set a record for fastest qualifying time by a woman in 2023.
Legge finished 39th in the ARCA Ride the 'Dente race at Daytona International Speedway last month after being involved in an early accident.
