Katherine Legge will run a historic pair of races in the US on Sunday: The Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600
British driver Katherine Legge is trying to complete the Memorial Day Double this Sunday, following in the footsteps of just one other person.
Legge, despite being from Surrey, is better known in the US than internationally, with most people abroad vaguely familiar with Memorial Day as a holiday.
She has had a successful racing career spanning over 25 years, competing in various series such as Champ Car, DTM, IMSA, WEC, Formula E, NASCAR, and IndyCar.
This weekend, she aims to participate in both the Indy 500 and the NASCAR Coca-Cola 600, a feat known as Double Duty.
The Coca-Cola 600 is NASCAR’s longest race and one of its premier events, often clashing with the iconic Indy 500.
Legge will attempt to race in both events, showcasing her versatility as a driver by taking on two major competitions in one day.
