Katherine Legge's Cup Return Highlights Mexico City Cup Entry List
On Monday afternoon, NASCAR released the preliminary entry list for the NASCAR Cup Series Viva Mexico 250 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. There are 37 cars contained within the list, including the 36 full-time Chartered entries and one "Open" entry.
The lone open entry that will contest the inaugural NASCAR Cup Series event in Mexico City will be the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports team, which will have Katherine Legge behind the wheel of its Chevrolet race car.
Legge, a native of Guilford, England, will carry primary sponsorship from E.L.F. Cosmetics, and will look to improve upon a 30th-place result in her NASCAR Cup Series debut, which came with the Live Fast Motorsports team at Phoenix Raceway in March.
The 44-year-old racer, who made a name for herself in open-wheel and sports car racing, has 10 NASCAR National Series starts in her career, five of which have come this season.
