Katherine Legge bumps Corey Heim out of NASCAR Cup Series race in Chicago

In the most intense non-Daytona 500 qualifying session since 2018, one team was guaranteed to miss Sunday's Grant Park 165 at the Chicago Street Course. 

In a battle of open cars, Will Brown, Katherine Legge, Corey Heim, Josh Bilicki and Austin Hill would be trying to make the field for Sunday's race. 

After Heim suffered a damaged toe link during his qualifying run, he was in danger of missing the race. Brown, Hill and Bilicki had all locked themselves into the show by the conclusion of the first round of qualifying. 

Legge was the only driver of an open car set to go out in round 2 of qualifying, and despite her No. 78 Chevrolet carrying damage incurred in practice, Legge ran a quick enough lap to lock herself into the race and bump Heim — who is celebrating his 23rd birthday on Saturday — out of the field.
