Katherine Legge to Make 7th Cup Start at Las Vegas; Full Entry List

Katherine Legge, who has impressed by capturing a pair of top-20 finishes in six NASCAR Cup Series starts this year, is among the 38 drivers entered into Sunday's South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which will kick off the Round of 8 of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.

Legge will reprise her role as the pilot of the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevrolet, which she was able to achieve a career-best finish of 17th in the Brickyard 400 a few months ago, with primary sponsorship from Desnuda Organic Tequila. The 45-year-old trailblazer comes into this race beaming with pride over how she and the No. 78 team have grown together this year.

“I’m proud of how far we’ve come this season, gaining experience and speed at the pinnacle of stock car racing as a driver, as a team, and with showcasing the Droplight brands like Desnuda," said Legge in a pre-race press release. “This car represents more than just a livery. It’s a statement of purpose and individuality. Las Vegas Motor Speedway is the perfect place to showcase what Desnuda and I both stand for—real passion, hard work, and the courage to stand out.”

The native of Guildford, Surrey, England, will look to top her career-best effort this weekend at the 1.5-mile speedway in Sin City.

But if she is to collect that honor, she'll have to contend with a hungry field of 37 other drivers. On Monday afternoon, NASCAR revealed the complete entry list for this weekend's NASCAR Cup Series event at Las Vegas, which, as expected, includes last week's race winner Shane van Gisbergen. Van Gisbergen captured his fifth road course win of his rookie campaign and will now look to pick up his first career NASCAR Cup Series win on an oval this week.

Additionally, JJ Yeley will serve as another notable entry in the event as he will make his ninth start of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season for the No. 44 NY Racing Team. The native of Phoeniz, AZ, has a best finish of 32nd this season.
