While many racing fans are familiar with female driver Danica Patrick, another female racer has established herself in the motorsports driver seat recently:

Katherine Legge.

In May 2026, Legge will be racing in the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 races. She will become both the first female driver and non-American to complete the double, according to ESPN. Sunday’s race will be Legge’s fifth start at the Indy 500.

When she puts the pedal down at the Brickyard during the weekend, she’ll move up to fifth all-time in female starts at the Indy 500.
