Legge Attempts Racing's Toughest Double
14 May
Summary
- Katherine Legge will attempt the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day.
- Kyle Larson warns weather is the biggest obstacle for the double attempt.
- Legge aims to be the first female to complete the demanding 1100 miles.
Katherine Legge is preparing to challenge the iconic Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 "Double" next week, an endeavor that Kyle Larson described as "awesome" but fraught with difficulty. Larson, who recently attempted the same feat, shared insights from his own experience, emphasizing that the primary obstacle is not the driving, but unpredictable weather conditions.
Legge confirmed her plans late Tuesday night to compete in the Indianapolis 500 in the #11 Chevrolet for HMD Motorsports/AJ Foyt Racing. Immediately following the Indy 500, she will pilot the #78 Chevrolet for Live Fast Motorsports in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Speaking last week, Larson noted the immense challenge of completing 1100 miles and predicted it would be historic if Legge succeeded. He recalled his own 2024 attempt, which was disrupted by rain, causing him to miss the NASCAR race, though he successfully completed the double in 2025.
