Katherine Legge's Cup Series debut at Phoenix was a "baptism of fire," but approving her to race was the right call by NASCAR.

NASCAR’s latest race at Phoenix saw the highly anticipated debut of British female racer Katherine Legge. However, Legge’s first outing was anything but a dream, as her race ended early after she spun out in the middle of the track.

Katherine Legge became the first woman to race in the NASCAR Cup Series race since 2018 on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway.
