Katherine Legge will compete in the NASCAR Cup Series race at Phoenix Raceway for Live Fast Motorsports, LFM announced March 3.
Legge will drive the non-chartered team’s part-time No. 78.
Barring more than 40 entries (meaning she would need to qualify her way into the field), the race will mark Legge’s Cup debut.
DROPLiGHT will sponsor the effort.
Legge is the second driver announced for the No. 78 in 2025. Team owner BJ McLeod drove the car at Daytona International Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Legge has five previous NASCAR starts, all coming in the NASCAR Xfinity Series — four in 2018 and one in 2023. Her best finish, 14th, came at Road America in 2018.
She also has 19 NTT IndyCar Series appearances, including seven in 2024. She’s a four-time winner in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
