INDIANAPOLIS — Katherine Legge hopes to become the first woman to complete “The Double,” racing in both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day.
With sponsorship from e.l.f. Cosmetics, the veteran British racer will drive the No. 11 Chevrolet for HMD Motorsports with A.J. Foyt Racing at Indianapolis and the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevrolet at Chevrolet at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Legge, 45, will become the first woman ever to attempt “The Double,” one of the rarest feats in motorsports. Across 1,100 miles in a single day, drivers must rapidly adapt between two entirely different racing disciplines, vehicles and physical demands. Only five drivers in history have attempted it and just one (Tony Stewart) has completed it.
As Legge’s primary partner across both races, e.l.f. is showing up in full force on the track and alongside its community every mile of the way.
“Very few drivers ever get the opportunity to attempt ‘The Double,’ and I do not take that opportunity lightly,” said Legge. “This challenge is about pushing through perceived limits, betting on yourself, taking risks and trying to do something unique.
“I am so incredibly grateful to e.l.f. for believing in what this moment represents and for building a community around it.”
