Katherine Legge has confirmed that she will be on the grid for this weekend's season-opening Vegas Grand Prix, despite cutting it fine with her announcement. source: crash.net To no great surprise, the 26-year old Briton will line-up with Dale Coyne Racing, the team with which she completed each of the three pre-season tests in the new Panoz DP01 chassis, but she insists that a full deal is yet to be agreed. "A deal hasn't been done yet, but expect Bruno Junqueira and I to be racing for Dale, " Legge told Crash.net, confirming speculation that has been rife in recent weeks. Despite the disruption to her preparations while she tries to hammer out a deal for her second season in Champ Cars, Legge says that she is looking forward to getting out on the new Las Vegas street circuit that hosts the 2007 season-opener. "The track looks amazing," she said of the layout that surrounds the city's famous Strip, "It'll be a good one for sure!" No announcement has been forthcoming from the Coyne camp regarding either of its drivers, although the team has a reputation for leaving things to the last minute in terms of signings, albeit because it has usually had to rely on 'pay drivers' to fill its seats. As a result, no sponsors have been confirmed for either Legge or Junqueira.
