Trailblazing British driver Katherine Legge is ready to turn heads at Texas Motor Speedway this Saturday, May 3, 2025, with a brand-new look and partner. Legge announced a bold collaboration with Desnuda Tequila for the NASCAR Xfinity Series race — just in time for Cinco de Mayo weekend.
The Desnuda Tequila deal brings a fresh, organic twist to the No. 32 Chevy Camaro. The new paint scheme highlights Legge’s personal values and the tequila brand’s focus on quality and purity.
Legge’s No. 32 car will roll out in soft agave green mixed with deep, earthy tones. The livery is simple, clean, and inspired by nature. It’s a total switch from the usual wild, flashy race car wraps. Instead, it shows off a “stripped back,” botanical look that fits right in with the Desnuda brand.
“I’m so excited to represent Desnuda Tequila at The Great American Speedway,” said Legge. “I’m a health-conscious athlete whose go-to drink when I’m at a party is tequila, lime and soda. That’s why I was thrilled to team up with Desnuda Tequila around Cinco de Mayo!”

She added, “Desnuda’s flavor instantly stood out to me, it is exceptional. I love the fact it is organic and clean. The founders of Desnuda are tequila purists and huge fans of racing. We had a lot of fun creating this weekend’s livery based on our shared passions.”
Desnuda Tequila president Brandon Korthuis said the partnership is a perfect match. “Katherine represents the pinnacle of tenacity, class and endurance. As our team looks to the future and expands into more markets, we see our core customers sharing those traits,” he said. “Quality and purity are also at the heart of our brand. Katherine is the perfect partner to show and share that message. Cheers with Desnuda this Cinco de Mayo!”
Saturday’s race will be Legge’s third Xfinity Series start of the 2025 season with Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport. She made history this year when she became the first woman since Danica Patrick to start a NASCAR Cup Series race at Phoenix in March.
Off the track, Legge continues to make waves. She’s the only woman racing in the Cup and Xfinity Series. She’s also an IndyCar and sports car veteran, and a frequent face in global endurance events.
Last month, Legge released her first children’s book, Kat’s Magic Helmet, based on her early racing dreams. She also hosts a podcast called Throttle Therapy, where she shares stories from her life in motorsport.
As she takes on Texas in her earthy Desnuda Tequila Chevy, Legge proves once again that she’s more than a racer — she’s a trailblazer with style, grit and a message worth raising a glass to.

Tomy Drissi brought the #8 Drissi Motorsports Chevrolet to third place Monday’s Trans Am Memorial Day Classic
Drissi came out on top of the most exciting battle of the race, defending the final podium spot after an early red flag before pulling away
The 2009 Trans Am champion remains third in the TA championship
2009 Trans Am champion Tomy Drissi scored his second podium of the 2025 Trans Am by Pirelli season in Monday’s Memorial Day Classic at Lime Rock Park. Drissi and the #8 Trench Shoring Company/Motul/Franklin Road Apparel Chevrolet Camaro team overcame a weekend of high attrition in the TA class to finish third, further strengthening their grip on third place in the championship.
After sporadic rains washed out much of Saturday’s testing and practice time, Monday’s qualifying and race sessions were dry and sunny. Drissi qualified fifth, but he roared into third with a spectacular start before settling back into fourth in the early laps. But after a major crash in the battle among the leaders led to a red flag, Drissi would inherit third place for the race’s only restart.
What came next was one of the most impressive drives of the Trans Am season. After the restart, Drissi fought tooth and nail to keep a hard-charging Amy Ruman from taking the final podium spot despite low tire pressures that hindered his pace. As the race wore on, the battle gave way to Drissi’s superior long-run speed, and he pulled away to secure the position while also matching the leaders’ late-race times during the 68-lap event.
“We were five pounds under pressure on our tires,” Drissi admitted from the podium. “I thought ‘did my sway bar break? What’s going on?’ But I just put my head down. We all make mistakes together and we all get podiums together. No more yellows came out, but we ran some good laps at the end. That was a lot of laps around here!
“I want to thank Trench Shoring and Motul for their support. Lacy, Jagger, Elin, I love you, and all these fans here at Lime Rock Park are amazing!”
The podium finish was Drissi’s first at Lime Rock Park in the TA class since 2021, and proved highly popular with the fans on-site as he took one of his famous podium selfies with fellow drivers Paul Menard and Adam Andretti. With four top-fives in the first five races of the season, Drissi remains third in the TA championship as he looks ahead to three races in four weeks at Mid-Ohio, Road America, and Watkins Glen in June and July.

It looks like an eagle-eyed NASCAR fan has broken news about a potential rebranding of Atlanta Motor Speedway. How does this sound, race fans? EchoPark Speedway… yeah, I’m not too sure either.
This isn’t the first time that a racetrack has had its naming rights sold to a major sponsor in the sport. Marcus Smith and Speedway Motorsports reconfigured Atlanta into one of the best action tracks in the sport. Now, they have reconfigured the name to give EchoPark the rights, it appears.
A fan on Reddit (u/Positive_Action_7539) posted a picture of the grandstands. Where it would normally say “Atlanta Motor Speedway,” it now says “EchoPark Speedway.”
Everyone remembers when Texas Motor Speedway was Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Sonoma Raceway used to be Infineon Raceway. And remember when Phoenix was ISM Raceway? Of course, Gateway is now World Wide Technology Raceway. This isn’t new in NASCAR, but it is still a little shocking to see.
EchoPark Automotive has put a ton of money into the sport in recent years. Their footprint has largely been around Texas Motor Speedway and COTA. However, this takes it to another level entirely.
Along with the new name, it looks like the grandstands got a new paint job as well. A lot of change at Atlanta in recent years and this is just the next stepit seems.
Now, the tricky part, at least for EchoPark and Speedway Motorsports, is getting fans to buy in. If everyone just calls it Atlanta and ignores the rebranding, it might not be worth it for the company.
With the name change, there isn’t going to be much that is different with Atlanta. This track is still a hybrid intermediate/superspeedway. The racing is going to be electric. We are going to see big wrecks. Someone will complain about the pack racing. But we know what we are going to get.
The question I have is, will we see more Speedway Motorsports tracks take on corporate branding? Stadiums and arenas all over the country have sold the naming rights to big corporations with varying success. Can NASCAR become successful in doing that at multiple tracks?
NASCAR fans are usually not open to change. So, it will be interesting to see how the fanbase embraces or rejects the new naming of the track. Another question I have is, will this delay the NASCAR 25 video game? If they have to reskin Atlanta to EchoPark, how much time will that take?
Atlanta is hosting NASCAR in a month. The summer heat will be bearing down on the track, and the racing itself will be hot. Let’s see how SMI and Marcus Smith introduce this new name and judge later. Can’t complain about investment in the sport, that’s for sure.

NASCAR will add two starting spots to the grid for the Xfinity Series race in Mexico City.
The two provisionals will allow the field to be expanded by two entries, but only if needed. It would push the starting grid from 38 to a maximum of 40 teams. NASCAR expects more than 38 teams to make the trip to attempt the race.
NASCAR is calling it the International Provisional. But in a move similar to the creation of the Open Exemption Provisional in the Cup Series, the teams that use the International Provisional will not:
NASCAR visits Mexico City with its Xfinity Series and Cup Series teams June 13-15. It is a return for the Xfinity Series to the country, which last competed in the country in 2008.
As for the Cup Series, which will make its inaugural trip to Mexico City, an Open Exemption Provisional was not requested for the event. A team looking to use the provisional must submit its request 90 days in advance of the event.

McLaren’s Lando Norris has topped first practice at Formula 1’s Spanish Grand Prix, heading Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton in Barcelona.
Friday’s first free practice session in hot conditions was used as a testing ground for a brace of upgrades across most of the teams, as well as the first session in which teams ran stiffer front wings to comply with the FIA’s latest technical directive.
As such, the first half hour of the session was largely run on Pirelli’s hardest C1 compound as teams completed correlation work to trial their new parts and match them with existing simulation data.
Teams also tested steel skid blocks in a bid to find solutions to the grass fires which plagued April’s Japanese Grand Prix, and were believed to be caused by hot sparks coming off the existing titanium skids.
In order to gather data, one car per team trialled the steel skids on Friday, which are believed to be 750 grams heavier and wear quicker.
Home hero Fernando Alonso led the early running on hards before McLaren’s Norris took over. But times started becoming more representative after the halfway mark, as evidenced by Sauber driver Nico Hulkenberg temporarily taking second.

On soft tyres Charles Leclerc took top before being overhauled by Red Bull’s Verstappen and then Norris, whose time of 1m13.718s was over three tenths clear of the world champion’s lap.
Hamilton was third ahead of Ferrari team-mate as the Scuderia trialled substantial updates, with the second McLaren of Oscar Piastri in fifth.
Liam Lawson continued Racing Bull’s competitive trajectory with sixth ahead of Haas man Oliver Bearman and his team-mate Isack Hadjar. Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda and Alpine driver Pierre Gasly completed the top 10.
The one-hour opening session ran without major incidents, with Haas stand-in Ryo Hirakawa taking a gravel trip excursion on the latest FP1 outing for Toyota’s WEC driver, this time instead of Esteban Ocon.
The other reserve driver on FP1 duties was F2 frontrunner Victor Martins, who took over Alex Albon’s Williams for the session.
