May 28, 2026

• KATHERINE LEGGE made history as sixth driver ever to start both Indy 500 and Charlotte on same day, though not full-time in either series, marking rare achievement in demanding double-duty tradition.
• Race drew 6.635 million viewers, down from 2025’s 7.050 million, with LEGGE’s attempt lacking dramatic buildup of previous years when Kyle Larson attempted the Double with full-time NASCAR status.
• Rosenqvist delivered closest Indy 500 finish ever at 0.0233 seconds over Malukas, while LEGGE’s participation highlighted female driver representation in premier open-wheel racing’s marquee event despite ratings dip.
