Katherine Legge is an IndyCar Series driver and a NASCAR driver. On the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, she will attempt to be both. Legge is going to try and race in both the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600.
Legge will be the first woman to try and drive the 1,100 miles in one day. Five drivers have ever attempted to run both the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Legge will join John Andretti, Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch and Kyle Larson on the list of drivers who have tried “The Double.”
“It’s an exciting time,” Legge told USA TODAY Sports. “It’s another groundbreaking thing that I can showcase to the world really that, if you set your mind to things, you can do anything, and you can do things that maybe you never even dreamt of before.”
Legge will drive the No. 11 Chevrolet in the Indy 500, then fly to Charlotte and get behind the wheel of the No. 78 Chevrolet.
