Katherine Legge became the first woman to race in the NASCAR Cup Series race since 2018 on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway.

Katherine Legge spent 25 years working her way through professional motorsports before getting her shot at driving a NASCAR Cup Series car.

At the Shriners Children’s 500, Katherine Legge became the first woman to compete at NASCAR’s top level since Danica Patrick nearly a decade ago. The English driver is the 17th woman to race in the Cup Series and one of only two to drive in the Indy 500.
