Katherine Legge is returning to the No. 51 e.l.f. Cosmetics Honda fielded by Dale Coyne Racing for the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 presented by Axalta and Valvoline this Saturday evening, Aug. 17 at World Wide Technology Raceway.
Legge, from England, will make her fourth NTT INDYCAR SERIES start this season for DCR – all on ovals – as teammate to Jack Harvey in the No. 18 INVST Honda. She began her season in the 108th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and then competed in both races of the Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend last month at Iowa Speedway. She finished a season-best 17th in the second race at Iowa.
“I’m excited to get back in the No. 51 e.l.f. Cosmetics Honda at World Wide Technology Raceway with Dale Coyne Racing,” Legge said. “We had a good weekend in Iowa, and I’m looking forward to building on that momentum and hopefully we can have another strong showing for the team.”
Legge is the only female driver competing this season in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, Formula One or NASCAR Cup Series.
“Katherine has done a good job for us this year on the ovals, and we’re happy to have her back this weekend in the 51 car to take on World Wide Technology Raceway,” team owner Dale Coyne said. “We’ve had success at that oval track in the past, so we look forward to seeing what Katherine and Jack will do this weekend.”
Live coverage of the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 starts at 6 p.m. ET Saturday on USA Network, Peacock and the INDYCAR Radio Network.
