PLAINFIELD, Ill. — Katherine Legge will return to Dale Coyne Racing with RWR for this weekend’s pair of oval races at Iowa Speedway as part of the Hy-Vee IndyCar Race weekend.
“I’m thrilled to be behind the wheel of an IndyCar at the Iowa doubleheader this weekend,” said Legge. “We had a successful test there last week, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the races unfold on the new surface. I’m grateful to Dale Coyne and Honda and so happy to be back in the 51!”
In May, Legge piloted the team’s No. 51 Honda at the 108th Indianapolis 500, where she finished 29th after dropping out with a mechanical issues.
“We’re looking forward to having Katherine back in the car with us at Iowa this weekend,” Team Owner Dale Coyne said. “She did a good job for us at Indy and we had a strong test at Iowa Speedway last week with both Katherine and Jack (Harvey). We’re excited to see what the doubleheader weekend in Iowa brings.”
In June, Legge placed fifth in class in the 102nd running of The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb as a rookie in the Acura Integra Type S DE5, reaching the 14,115-foot summit in 10:51.359 – just three seconds off the front wheel drive record.
