The England native made five starts in the Cup Series last season, becoming the first woman since Danica Patrick to qualify for an event at NASCAR's top level.
She made her debut at Phoenix Raceway before taking on Mexico City. She returned for starts on the streets of Chicago, at Sonoma Raceway, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, at Watkins Glen International, and at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Her best finishes took place on two different styles of tracks. Legge crossed the line in 17th place at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and she finished 19th on the streets of Chicago.
The veteran racer only has one Cup Series start at the New York road course where she will compete this weekend, but she has extensive experience there in IMSA.
She made 10 starts at the track in the Weathertech SportsCar Championship, and she posted two podium finishes. She started from the pole and scored a class win while working with fellow driver Andy Lally during the Six Hours of The Glen.
The weekend will begin on Saturday, May 9. Legge will take part in practice and qualifying at 1 p.m. ET (Prime Video). She will then compete in the Cup Series race on Sunday, May 10. FS1 will provide coverage at 3 p.m. ET.
