Katherine Legge Crash Ends Roller Coaster Rockingham NASCAR Weekend
International road racing veteran Katherine Legge's entrance into NASCAR this year continues to be a tough road. Legge, along with Dawson Cram, failed to make the North Carolina Education Lottery 250 field in qualifying at Rockingham Speedway due to the final six positions in the 38-car field being provisionals assigned according to owner points. After the field was established on Saturday, she went to J.J. Yeley, who had qualified 31st, and acquired his ride for herself. Legge started in the rear of the field due to the driver change. She was eliminated on lap 52 when William Sawalich hit her Chevrolet in the rear while lapping her in the first turn. She spun and then hit Kasey Kahne, who was also lapping her. Legge was eliminated while Kahne went on to finish 15th and Sawalich 26th. Legge finished last in the overtime race, completing 50 of the 256 laps. The race was the first of a recently announced 12-race NASCAR schedule for the remainder of 2025. Legge later posted the following statement on X (formerly Twitter): 'I'm SO proud of this team!! We were able to run a fast enough lap time in qualifications to put me comfortably in the race if not for Owner Poins provisional. So that's why my sponsors & partner were on board to help me get the track time I promised everyone we would get. They meant it when they said they support me and believe in our program. Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do about Sawalich getting right up under the back of the car and taking me and subsequently others out of the race. Thank you Joey Gase Racing, Jordan Anderson, J.J. Yeley, e.l.f. Cosmetics, and Team Chevy for having my back. See you all at Talladega!'

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Some major changes are coming to intersections in Daviess County. Owensboro-Daviess County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) officials say safety improvements are underway at Highway 60 at Hawes Boulevard and Wrights Landing Road. Green River Whiskey sponsors J.J. Yeley for the Daytona 500 Officials say last month, two people died in a crash at Highway 60 and Hawes Boulevard, sparking concerns about safety there. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) officials told Eyewitness News shortly after that, there were plans in place. The changes will turn the intersection into 'restricted crossing u-turns.' Officials say drivers will start by making a right turn onto Highway 60. They can then continue straight, or enter a left-turn lane to make a u-turn through the median.
