Dale Coyne Racing’s Katherine Legge in the No.51 e.l.f Honda will start her fourth Indianapolis 500 next weekend from 31st place after posting a four-lap average of 230.092mph.
Speaking following the action she said:
We had a significant hook snap on every lap. I managed to stay in it a couple of times, but then I had to lift quite a lot on the fourth lap. I was afraid that was going to hurt us more than it did, and I’m quite happy about that! Now we need to work on our race car. I’m confident the DCR guys will come at it next week, and we’ll with a good race car. I’m especially glad to make it in the show with e.l.f. Seeing what a difference it makes to all these girls at the race track and feeling represented has truly been an honor. I’m thrilled we get to bring that to the Indy 500.”
There was disappointment for 19 year old rookie, Nolan Siegel as failed to qualifying for the Greatest Spectacle In Racing.
