Katherine Legge will return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the first time in more than a year, this time in a stock car.
Legge is set to compete in the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series races in Indianapolis later this month after last racing on the famed Indy track in the 2024 Indianapolis 500.
The Cup Series' Brickyard 400 is set for July 27, while the Xfinity race takes place July 26.
Legge has competed In four Cup Series starts this season with her best finish -- a 19th-place showing -- coming at the Chicago Street Race on July 6. The native of England has also raced in the Xfinity Series this year and plans to race in two other Cup Series events later this season: Watkins Glen (Aug. 10) and Las Vegas (Oct. 12).
In March, Legge became the first woman to compete in the Cup Series since Danica Patrick in 2018 when she raced at Phoenix and finished 30th.
Legge won at Long Beach in 2005 in the Toyota Atlanta Championship and qualified for the Indy 500 for the first time in 2012, making her the ninth woman to make it into the field. Her qualifying lap speed of 231.627 mph for the 2023 Indy 500, as well as a 231.070 mph four-lap average, were the fastest ever for a woman.
