Legge was already planning to run the No. 32 Jordan Anderson Racing Chevrolet in Saturday's Xfinity race. She has plenty of experience at the IMS oval, but not in stock cars. Legge has four starts in the Indianapolis 500 between 2012 and 2024, finishing as high as 22nd.
Legge has also removed the Richmond Raceway Cup race from her 2025 plans, replacing it with the Las Vegas Motor Speedway event on October 12th. That is expected to be her final start of the 2025 season, ending the year with 13 starts between the Cup and Xfinity Series.

The IMSA GTD winner made her Cup debut at Phoenix in March, but that ended in a crash. By starting that race, she became the first woman to run a Cup race since Danica Patrick took part in the 2018 Daytona 500. Her best result came at the Chicago Street Course, finishing 19th after beating 23XI Racing's Corey Heim for the final open spot on the grid in qualifying. She also ran the road course races in Mexico City and at Sonoma Raceway.

Legge also has five starts in the Xfinity Series this year, but four DNFs due to crashes so far. In the one race she did reach the checkered flag, Legge finished 32nd. She will be aiming to improve on that in a big way when the series rolls into IMS next weekend.

Should NASCAR Enact New Rules To Avoid Car, Crew Contact After Sonoma Incident?
The Ty Gibbs pit road incident with Brad Keselowski's crew at Sonoma has been compared to brushback pitch, as Gibbs hit a tire being carried by a member of Keselowski's crew when coming in for his pit stop. Except when a race car is involved, even if the concept is the same, the optics are worse and the consequences have a higher percentage of resulting in injury. Gibbs drove through the Keselowski pit box, as he is allowed to do since Keselowski wasn't in his pit. A driver can drive through three empty pit boxes on the way to their own pit stall. The tire carrier, Telvin McClurkin, was carrying two tires and standing in his pit box, which he is allowed to do. Anyone carrying two tires or one tire plus a jack or pit gun is considered a dual-purpose crew member. The rule reads: "The dual-purpose crew member must be positioned close to the pit wall until the vehicle is one pit box away from its assigned pit box." There is no definition of what close means. That's ultimately a NASCAR judgment call. And my guess is that if you got 10 people in a room and asked them to draw a line of where close is, there would be more than a few lines. So McClurkin didn't do anything wrong. Did he hug the wall? No. Was he as far out as other tire carriers have been on stops? Not by a long shot. But there is also a rule on interference: "Any crew member, equipment or tire/wheel interfering with another crew's pit stop, causing the other team to incur a penalty or not, may incur a penalty." Did McClurkin interfere with Gibbs? Did Gibbs interfere with McClurkin, considering Keselowski was about to come in? They both, according to the rules, pretty much had a right to be where they were. NASCAR didn't call any penalties. It isn't rare for tire carriers and tire changers to do what they can to mess up another driver's stop, whether it is swinging wide and daring the driver to hit them or the tire they are carrying. And it isn't rare for a driver who feels a pit crew member is trying to take up too much space to get as close as possible to them. Drivers have an incredible responsibility. But crew members also know that cars are coming. And when they do a pit stop with their own cars, they are instructed that they had better be out of the way when the driver is told to go or else they will get run over. It appears both sides could have given a little more room. Did they have to? No. "There's a lot of gamesmanship in how things work," three-time Cup champion Joey Logano said. "I can only talk from my personal experiences. You don't want to put someone in danger of hurting you. With that said, [I'm] guilty, been there. We've all made mistakes. "We've all done maybe the wrong thing at times, but I think when you look at these pit crew guys, it's not only their life but it's their livelihood on top of that. It's how they make money for their family and the last thing you want to do is hurt one of them. Everyone's got to work together a little bit on pit road, especially when it's tight scenarios like that." Maybe there is a simple answer. There are lines on the track to which a driver must adhere if there is a car in the box so they don't hit any crew members. Should there be a line that limits how far a dual-purpose crew member can go beyond the wall before their car comes into the pit? Except that isn't a simple answer. If there's a line, it would have to be officiated by the pit road camera system. And would that line be for feet or for any equipment/tires the crew member has? And is that line only in play if there is a car coming in to pit using their box as one of the three boxes on the way to their stall? This is one area where NASCAR likely hopes the teams and crew members can police themselves. Which has been fine and will be fine ... until a crew member gets hurt and NASCAR is forced into action.

After suffering fourth muscle injury, Caitlin Clark questionable against New York Liberty
NEW YORK — Fever star point guard Caitlin Clark, who suffered a right groin injury in the final seconds of Indiana's win over Connecticut on Tuesday, was listed as questionable against the New York Liberty in the Indiana's final game before the All-Star break. It's not entirely clear when Clark suffered the injury on Tuesday night, but she showed visible discomfort after she first twisted her body to push off a defending Leila Lacan, then twisted again to bounce the ball to Kelsey Mitchell for a basket with 39 seconds left. As she turned around, she grabbed near her right groin area, her eyes welling up in tears. Connecticut called a timeout at the same time, and Clark walked over to the stanchion, hit her head against it, then walked to the Fever's bench, still holding the area. She was visibly crying, her eyes red, and she put a towel over her head for the rest of the game. Insider: Teary-eyed Caitlin Clark suffers 4th injury in 3 months. Fever have learned to play without her, may have to again Fever coach Stephanie White said there was no update on Clark postgame. She was evaluated both on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning before the coaching staff and team trainers made the decision to hold her out of the game against the Liberty. The extent of the injury is unclear, but it's the fourth muscle injury Clark has suffered since April. She missed Indiana's preseason game against Washington with a quad injury, something she called "a little bit of tightness," then strained her quad in late May, missing five games. Soon after she returned from the quad strain, she suffered a left groin injury, holding her out of four regular-season games and the Commissioner's Cup championship. She had returned from that groin injury July 9. "I think we just take it one step at a time," White said Tuesday night. "We'll get some food, get on the plane, and start talking about New York. She's being evaluated, we'll see where we are with that, and certainly we'll have another evaluation, probably in conversation in the morning, and see where we are. But, you know, this group has played without her, we've at least got experience in that. We know that we have a tough opponent in New York, and we know it's going to be a challenge no matter what." This injury also calls into question her participation in the All-Star weekend festivities, which will be in her home city. Clark, an All-Star captain who drafted her team last week, was slated to both compete in the 3-point competition Friday night and play in the All-Star Game on Saturday.
