Marco Andretti comes to Kathrine Legge's defense after her race at Rockingham

Andretti Global driver Marco Andretti recently slammed a fan after the latter targeted Katherine Legge, calling her achievements 'unproven'.

Kathrine Legge is a British female driver who is currently competing in NASCAR's Xfinity and Cup series. The 44-year-old recently participated in NASCAR Xfinity series race at Rockingham on April 19. She got collected in the crash and couldn't continue the race, after which she received a lot of backlash online.

On April 22, a fan on X (previously called Twitter) shared a post criticising Katherine Legge, claiming that she is 'unproven'. The post read:

"Are you disappointed in the truth? These cars are expensive and she’s unproven."

The interaction caught the American driver's attention, and he came to the defense of Katherine Legge. He responded, saying:

"It’s wild to me how many grown men talk badly about bad as* girls like this. Does it make them feel more manly from the couch or something?"

Katherine Legge previously participated in the Indianapolis 500, where she set the fastest lap by a female racer in qualifying with an average speed of 231.070 mph.
