Katherine Legge's otherwise quiet NASCAR Cup Series debut took a turn on lap 216 of Sunday's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix. Legge was running in 28th-place when she got loose on the exit of Turn 2.

Katherine Legge narrowly avoided a catastrophe during the early stages of her NASCAR Cup Series debut after spinning out by herself at Phoenix Raceway.

With her debut today, Legge became only the 17th female driver to make a start in the NASCAR Cup Series. The last woman to race in the Cup Series was Danica Patrick, who has the most starts by a female driver with 191 after making her final start in 2018.
