KATHERINE LEGGE Set for Dual Comeback: Indy 500 and NASCAR Cup at Watkins Glen

May 6, 2026

• KATHERINE LEGGE makes dual 2026 comebacks: final Indy 500 entry with HMD/AJ Foyt Racing and NASCAR Cup return at Watkins Glen for Live Fast Motorsports with e.l.f. Cosmetics backing both efforts.
• The 45-year-old Brit holds the fastest Indianapolis lap record by a woman (2023) and brings extensive road course credentials including a 2017 IMSA GTD victory at The Glen’s six-hour enduro.
• LEGGE becomes first Next Gen era female competitor in 2025, breaking DANICA PATRICK’s absence streak. She’ll pilot the #78 Chevrolet Camaro, joining BJ McLeod and Daniel Dye as 2026 drivers.
• Strategic Watkins Glen selection leverages her road racing pedigree from 2006 Champ Car days where she became first woman to lead laps, plus prior IMSA success at the technical New York circuit.
