Katherine Legge Eyes Historic Double Duty at Indy 500 and Coca‑Cola 600

The British driver plans to tackle the 1000‑mile challenge on May 24, 2026, aiming to join an exclusive club of racers who have attempted the feat.

A Day of Dual Destiny

British endurance specialist Katherine Legge has announced that she will attempt to run the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca‑Cola 600 on the same day, May 24, 2026, a daring double‑header that has never been accomplished by a single driver.

The 600‑mile stock‑car marathon will be streamed live on Amazon Prime at 6:28 p.m. Eastern Time, while the iconic Indy 500 will be broadcast on FOX at 10 a.m. Eastern, giving Legge a narrow window to transition between the two events.

Legge joins a small fraternity of drivers who have tried the ‘Double’, including John Andretti, Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch and Kyle Larson; Stewart remains the only driver to have completed the full 1,100‑mile distance in a single day, and Kyle Larson finished 24th at Indy and 37th in the 600 in his 2025 attempt.

The feat, often referred to as the ‘Double’, tests a driver’s stamina, strategic pit work and the ability to adapt between radically different cars and formats, and a victory would cement Legge’s place in motorsport lore.

Fans will watch the unfolding drama across multiple platforms, with coverage also available on Fubo and SiriusXM, while NASCAR and IndyCar officials have expressed support for the ambitious undertaking.
