Katherine Legge, a multi-time winner in IMSA, made her Cup Series debut earlier this season with a trip to Phoenix Raceway. Now, she will return while making multiple starts across two national NASCAR series.
According to a Thursday announcement, Legge will make at least seven starts this season while working with primary partner e.l.f. Cosmetics. The press release did not provide the teams for these starts, but e.l.f. posted a scheme for the No. 32 Chevrolet Camaro, which Jordan Anderson Racing fields in the Xfinity Series.
The first of these starts will be Easter weekend at Rockingham Speedway. Legge will return to the Xfinity Series on May 24 for the race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Additionally, she will return to the Cup Series on June 15 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City.

The trip to Mexico City is significant. Legge previously achieved success at the road course while competing in ABB FIA Formula E. She started from the pole and won the race while driving for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.
"I've never felt more empowered than I do with e.l.f. by my side," said Legge in a press release. "e.l.f. truly walks the walk when it comes to putting its community -- and especially women in sports -- in the, pun-intended, driver's seat. I'm thrilled to work towards achieving my racing goals with my e.l.f. team alongside Team Chevy.
"I want to be respected as one of the best drivers in motorsport and there is no better place to hone my skill set against the best of the best in front of the largest motorsport audience in the U.S. With the pivot to go all in on NASCAR, we are diversifying my own racing legacy as well as the paddock for future generations."
This return to NASCAR continues Legge's busy schedule in motorsports, which has included seven starts in the NTT IndyCar Series last season, two starts in IMSA, one start in the ARCA Menards Series, and her Chili Bowl Nationals debut.
