Overview
- Legge, who qualified Sunday at 229.456 mph, will start 27th in the 33-car Indianapolis 500.
- She still must qualify for NASCAR's Coca‑Cola 600 at Charlotte, where 41 entrants are chasing 40 spots with time trials set for Saturday.
- She will race the No. 11 Chevrolet for HMD with AJ Foyt at Indy and the No. 78 for Live Fast at Charlotte, both backed by e.l.f. Cosmetics.
- A successful attempt would make her the first woman and first non‑U.S.‑born driver, and at 45 the oldest, to try the 1,100‑mile same‑day Double attempted by only five others.
- NASCAR peers reacted to her plan, as Bubba Wallace ruled out doing the Double himself while Chase Elliott wished her luck and Ryan Blaney said he might consider it one day.
