Katherine Legge narrowly avoided a catastrophe during the early stages of her NASCAR Cup Series debut after spinning out by herself at Phoenix Raceway.

Katherine Legge isn’t here for tokenism. As the first woman to race NASCAR’s Next Gen car in Sunday’s Shriners Children’s 500 at Phoenix Raceway, the British driver didn’t hold back when addressing the sport’s gender gap.

With her debut today, Legge became only the 17th female driver to make a start in the NASCAR Cup Series. The last woman to race in the Cup Series was Danica Patrick, who has the most starts by a female driver with 191 after making her final start in 2018.
