The NASCAR Cup Series is heading to the Phoenix Raceway this weekend. It’s the first of two events. All of the drivers will make a single lap run with the overall lap times deciding the starting lineup.

After 7 years of no women drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series, Katherine Legge will end that streak when she races at Phoenix Raceway this weekend.

Sara Christian, who in 1949 became the first female driver to compete in NASCAR's top division, finished fifth in her second career race, which was at Pittsburgh’s Heidelberg Raceway. It remains the only top-five finish by a woman in the NASCAR Cup Series.
