Katherine Legge is preparing to attempt the Indy 500–Coca-Cola 600 “Double” during Memorial Day weekend, aiming to become the first woman to race both events in the same year. The “Double” requires completing two major races separated by a short time window, covering about 1,100 miles of competitive motorsports.
Legge’s attempt also places her among a limited group of drivers who have tried the feat. According to The Athletic, she is set to be only the sixth person to attempt the “Double” and just the second to complete the full 1,100-mile marathon. Fox News similarly frames the effort as a historic bid, highlighting her goal of making firsts in IndyCar and NASCAR’s marquee events.
The sources do not indicate that Legge has previously competed in both races in the same year, but they describe her Memorial Day weekend attempt as a high-profile challenge that tests endurance, logistics, and performance across different racing series.
