Katherine Legge Agrees to 4-Race NASCAR Xfinity Deal

Katherine Legge is heading back to NASCAR.

A veteran of just about everything racing—from IndyCar to IMSA to NASCAR—Legge will race in four NASCAR Xfinity Series races for SS GreenLight Racing team and car owner Bobby Dotter.

Legge will race at Saturday's road-course race at Road America, as well as upcoming races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course, Watkins Glen and the Roval at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Legge, 43, will drive the No. 7 Chevrolet. She last raced in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2018. That year, she raced for times for car owner Johnny Davis, with a best finish of 14th on the road course at Elkhart Lake.

She raced at the 2023 Indianapolis 500 in May for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.

At Indianapolis, Legge recorded the fastest single lap and four-lap qualifying average by a female driver at the Indianapolis 500. Her four-lap average of 231.070 eclipsed the mark of 229.439

“The Indy 500 made me realize that life and racing careers are too short not to go for it,” said Legge. “My interest and passion is to continue to break new ground in motorsports. I’ve been proactive over the last year in thinking about what I want to do in my career and how I can accomplish those things. I’m so thankful to (SS GreenLight team co-owner) Bobby Dotter for the opportunity; and to Wayne Auton, Mike Helton, and Jim France, for welcoming me back to NASCAR, especially at one of my favorite tracks, Road America.

Legge currently competes full-time in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Series driving the No. 66 Gradient Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo22. She is sixth in the IMSA GTD Drivers' Standings, and has scored four top-10 finishes this season, including finishing fourth in the 24 Hours of Daytona. She also brought NSX its first win worldwide in Detroit in 2017.
