British racer Katherine Legge will attempt to qualify in the 107^th running of the Indianapolis 500. She will compete in the No. 44 Honda fielded by Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. 

Legge was a full-time competitor in the Champ Car World Series in 2006 with PKV Racing. She finished sixth at The Milwaukee Mile in 2006. Legge will be the second female race car driver to compete for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing in the IndyCar series. Danica Patrick competed with the team in the early 2000s.

Team co-owner Rahal said, “She has driven for us before in the Jaguar electric program and won from pole in Mexico City and finished on the podium several times, so it is nice to have her back with us to work together at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the first time. I know she looks at this as a chance to show everybody what she really can do.”

The Indianapolis 500 is set to take place on May 28^th at 11:00 AM ET.
