Joined by producer Grace for listener Q&A, Katherine responds to Stephen A. Smith’s claim that NASCAR drivers aren’t athletes, explaining how she trains (CrossFit, running, core/upper body, heat prep), and sharing her pre-race routines and recovery.

Katherine Legge welcomes racer Dystany Spurlock to discuss her transition from motorcycle drag racing to her ARCA debut, where she had a historic top-10 finish. Dystany recounts starting motorcycle drag racing as a teenager at Virginia Motorsports Park on a Suzuki GSX-R 750, learning through test days, YouTube, and her godfather, and explains the ladder from XDA to NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle, where she debuted last year. A former football corner/safety and the first girl in her county to play, she outlines her goal to reach NASCAR Cup, juggling NHRA with her ARCA debut while training in North Carolina with sims, film, and late-model seat time.
