After that, she quietly logged laps and steadily climbed up to 28th place in the running order.
However, with just under 100 laps to go, she pushed up into the side of Josh Berry as he rapidly approached from the outside lane in Turn 2.
The contact sent her spinning sideways down the backstretch in the same trouble spot as earlier.
She locked it down, but unfortunatelyDaniel Suarez had nowhere to go but the side of the No. 78 Chevrolet, heavily damaging his car own while Legge suffered a broken left-rear toe-link.
Suarez managed to limp his way to a 23rd place finish, while Legge went to the garage for more extensive repairs. The team was unable to fix the car and her race came to a premature end after 210 of 312 laps.
Speaking to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass after leaving the infield care center, she called the race “baptism of fire” and expressed a desire to run future Cup races.
She explained how the team made changes overnight to the car that were the wrong direction, but they slowly got it closer to where it needed to be throughout the race.
Legge ended up finishing 30th in the high-attrition race, placing ahead of the seven drivers who were all eliminated in a separate mid-race pileup.
She is officially the 17th woman in NASCAR history to compete in a Cup Series race.
