KATHERINE LEGGE Set To Become First Woman Attempting Indy-Charlotte Double

May 13, 2026

• KATHERINE LEGGE will become the first woman attempting the Indy 500-Coca-Cola 600 double on May 24, joining exclusive five-driver club that includes Kyle Larson, Tony Stewart, and Kurt Busch.
• LEGGE acknowledges her gender opened doors for this opportunity but emphasizes wanting recognition purely as a driver, saying being first to attempt anything carries historical significance looking forward.
• Larson endorsed LEGGE’s attempt, citing weather as primary challenge after rain delays prevented his 2024 completion and crashes derailed his 2025 effort in both races.
