Legge’s Cup debut at Phoenix didn’t go the way she hoped. She spun twice in the race, collecting Daniel Suárez on Lap 98. Suárez didn’t take issue with Legge; he did with NASCAR, he said on his vlog.

“There’s nothing wrong with her. What is wrong is NASCAR,” Suárez said, via Steven Taranto of CBS Sports. “They cannot allow somebody with no experience to run in the Cup Series. Plain and simple. You go to Las Vegas, to a fast track, it’s freaking dangerous. You cannot do that. And then here, honestly, this is not a so slow pace. Like, I hit her, and I was running 100 mph slowing down already.”

Legge has heard the criticism. But the veteran driver is determined to get better.

“I licked my wounds for sure,” Legge told Dustin Long of NBC Sports. “But I haven’t been around in motorsports for 20 years professionally by giving up on anything. I know [Phoenix] wasn’t my best work. I made a mistake, right? Made a lot of mistakes during the race, tried to minimize them. … And then there was that one mistake that obviously ended Daniel’s race and cost me my reputation, which I intend to get back. But it was a mistake.

“You see these guys making mistakes even when they’ve been doing it for decades. So, to be vilified on one mistake, I feel like was really unfair. I am a damn good race car driver, and I will come back and prove that was just a blip on the radar.”
