The Most Dangerous Challenge in Sports?

from Welcome to the Party · host Treat Media

What does it take to race 1,100 miles in a single day? This week, racing trailblazer Katherine Legge joins the party fresh off her attempt at one of the most grueling challenges in all of sports: racing both the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Katherine takes Abby, Julie, and Billie Jean King inside the physical, mental, and emotional demands of competing at 230 mph, burning 5,000 calories in a day, and staying locked in for nearly 10 hours behind the wheel. She opens up about the sacrifices she's made to build a career in motorsports, the pressure she once felt to downplay her femininity, and why driving a pink car became one of the most powerful moments of her career. Katherine also gets candid about the barriers women still face in racing, from sponsorship dollars to access to top teams, and why she believes the next generation deserves a clearer path to success. Before the interview, the crew celebrates Pride Month, congratulates Julie on her Sports Emmy win for Save: The Katie Meyer Story, wishes Abby an early happy birthday, previews their upcoming Ally House event at the U.S. Women’s Open, and dives into the latest from the NWSL, USWNT, WNBA, NCAA lacrosse, and NCAA golf. From life at 230 mph to the fight for equality in motorsports, this is a conversation about courage, resilience, and refusing to let anyone define what's possible.  Follow @welcometothepartyshow on: YouTube — ⁠@welcometothepartyshow⁠ Instagram — ⁠@welcometothepartyshow⁠ TikTok — ⁠@welcometothepartyshow⁠ Email — [email protected] Substack - https://welcometothepartyshow.substack.com   Keep the Party Going: Watch Save: The Katie Meyer Story: Save: The Katie Meyer Story | E60 Follow Katherine Legge: https://www.instagram.com/katherineracing/   Thank you to our sponsors: -Ally’s got you covered.
