Katherine Legge, who became the first female racer to compete in the NASCAR Cup Series since 2018, says she learned a lot in her debut, which amounted to a, "Baptism by fire," and hopes she has the opportunity to return despite crashing out of the race.

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.
