Katherine Legge reflects on her experience racing at Talladega Superspeedway
Katherine Legge described her outing after a DNF result in the recently concluded NASCAR Xfinity race at Talladega. Her race ended after a late-race incident with Aric Almirola with 13 laps to go.

Expressing her thoughts on the Talladega outing in an Instagram post, Legge wrote:
“Can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed my first time (doing more than four laps) Speedway racing here @talladega. The boys and girls at @jarnascar gave me a SUPER FAST @teamchevy @xfinityracing car and we were following the plan headed into the last 20 laps of the race. Unfortunately, it was not to be but I gained lots of valuable experience and can’t wait for next weekend 🤩. Huge shout out to @elfcosmetics @sherfickcompanies and @droplightofficial for going into battle with me. We will get stronger 💪”
