CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Katherine Legge will make her NASCAR debut in a two-race Xfinity Series deal with JD Motorsports. The open-wheel and sports car veteran will race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Road America in Wisconsin.
Legge will drive the No. 15 Chevrolet with sponsorship from Maryland-based aviation and technology integration company Airtec.
The British driver currently competes for Meyer Shank Racing in the IMSA SportsCar Championship. She has one win, four podiums and is second in the GTD championship standings.
