Katherine Legge doing Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600. Because 'Why not?' | Exclusive

There’s not much Katherine Legge hasn’t done in a motorsports career that spans nearly three decades.

She’s raced Ferraris in Bahrain and Audis in Germany. She’s driven in the A1 Grand Prix, Formula E and the IMSA SportsCar Championship.

And she’s raced in the Indianapolis 500 and in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Later this month, the 45-year-old native of England is going to try to do both on the same day.

Legge will be the first woman to attempt “The Double” — racing in the Indy 500 and Charlotte’s Coca-Cola 600 — on May 24. She confirmed her plans to USA TODAY Sports in an exclusive interview this week.
