KATHERINE LEGGE Targets Historic Indy-Charlotte Double After Cup Return

May 10, 2026

• KATHERINE LEGGE returns to Cup at Watkins Glen piloting the No. 78 for Live Fast Motorsports, building on career-best 17th at Brickyard 400 and historic top-20 at Chicago Street Course, first by a woman since 2017.
• The 45-year-old holds Indianapolis 500 qualifying speed record for women at 231.07 mph and targets Tony Stewart’s uncompleted Double Duty record from 2001, backed by unified e.l.f. Cosmetics sponsorship across both series.
• LEGGE heads directly from Watkins Glen to Indy 500, her fifth start in the No. 11 Chevrolet Dallara. Completing 1,100 miles would make her first female driver to achieve Double Duty milestone in motorsports history.
• Kyle Larson, most recent Double attempt, endorsed her pursuit while emphasizing weather unpredictability. LEGGE’s versatility spans IndyCar, Cup, IMSA SportsCar, Formula E, making her uniquely positioned for dual-series challenge.
