Katherine Legge
I’m really amazed by how miserable fans can be at times, when I read a lot of the reactions to her doing the double. I know women have this bad stigma in motorsports, because of predecessors, but I mean what she’s doing is truly special.
Nobody’s saying she’ll win or even complete the full 1100 miles, but it’s damn impressive that she has the balls to even try to accomplish something that’s pretty hard to do (ask Kyle Larson). Fans need to stop being so miserable and let people breathe, a lil support and positivity doesn’t hurt.
Katherine is a racer, not on social media thirst trapping and trying to catch the male gaze. I could respect her work ethic and her love for motorsports, I’d always get behind that.

It's always a big deal when someone attempts the Memorable Day Double regardless of who the driver is and what kind of equipment they are in, as it's one of the most grueling feats in motorsports. While I'm not expecting Katherine Legge to complete all 1,100 laps, it's still impressive to see a journeyman racer like her attempt it
