Legge's Indy-Charlotte Double Day Ends in Calamity of Errors
Katherine Legge became the sixth driver to start both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, but a Turn 2 crash at Indy ended her Indy 500 after 17 laps. She then continued at Charlotte with the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevy, but a right-front wheel failure near the end of Stage 3 and a rain-shortened Coke 600 left her 31st, after 361 laps and 541.5 miles in the race and a total of 585 miles across the two events (well short of the planned 1,100). Legge called the day a “calamity of errors” but said there were positives and that the team would regroup and reflect on what could have been done differently.
