Katherine Legge’s ambitious bid to become the first woman to conquer "The Double" – an arduous 1,100-mile motor racing challenge across two tracks in a single day – was abruptly cut short on Sunday following a crash at the Indianapolis 500.
The English driver completed just 17 of the scheduled 200 laps on the iconic 2.5-mile oval at Indianapolis Motor Speedway before colliding with Ryan Hunter-Reay. Hunter-Reay’s car began to spin in the second turn, forcing him to brake hard to avoid the wall.
