KATHERINE LEGGE Stalled By Clutch Gremlins In Indy 500 Refresher Session

April 28, 2026

• KATHERINE LEGGE’s No. 11 HMD/Foyt Chevy suffered repeated clutch actuation failures during Tuesday’s mandatory Rookies & Refreshers at IMS, stalling three times during pit launch attempts despite crew interventions on the gearbox control unit.
• The Indy 500 veteran managed just two installation laps in the session’s final minutes, insufficient to complete her required refresher test and gain clearance for the afternoon’s four-hour practice window.
• LEGGE remained philosophical about the setback, crediting her HMD crew’s marathon preparation efforts while noting the team identified fixes ahead of Wednesday’s retry following multiple 20-hour workdays.
