Katherine Legge will become the first woman since Danica Patrick in 2018 to race in the NASCAR Cup Series when she makes her debut on Sunday in the 2025 Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway. The British driver competes part-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, IndyCar Series and IMSA SportsCar Championship. She set the record for fastest qualifying effort at the Indianapolis 500 in 2023. Legge became the first woman to win a major open-wheel race in North America when she took first at Long Beach during the 2005 Toyota Atlantic Championship developmental open-wheel event.

Ryan Blaney and Kyle Larson are +700 favorites, followed by Joey Logano (+750) and Christopher Bell (+750) in the 2025 Shriners Children's 500 odds. Sunday's race is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. ET. 

Before making any NASCAR at Phoenix Raceway picks, you NEED to see what CBS Sports NASCAR writer Steven Taranto has to say.

Taranto, who moonlights as a sim racer and has 20 career wins in iRacing, is the lead NASCAR writer for CBSSports.com, and he chronicles stock car racing with the same thoroughness and passion that he's had since becoming a full-time race fan in 2001. He has an annual NASCAR media credential and also publishes a popular weekly NASCAR predictions column, famously calling Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez's breakthrough wins in 2022. Taranto was red-hot for SportsLine in 2024 as he nailed 17 winners, including 16-1 longshot William Byron at the Daytona 500 and 14-1 longshot Chase Elliott at Texas. Anybody following his NASCAR picks has seen HUGE returns!

For the 2025 Shriners Children's 500, Taranto is high on veteran favorite Christopher Bell. Another curveball: He's fading Joey Logano, who won NASCAR's last race in Phoenix to end last season. "Logano's recent success at Phoenix has mostly been limited to when he's been in the Championship 4, as his results have been otherwise unremarkable," Taranto told SportsLine.

Taranto also locked in four more 2025 NASCAR at Phoenix best bets and is high on a MAJOR dark horse who is going off at more than 100-1! You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see his picks before locking in any NASCAR picks of your own.
