On Tuesday afternoon, Dale Coyne Racing confirmed Katherine Legge will return to the No. 51 entry with Rick Ware Racing for this weekend’s doubleheader at Iowa Speedway.

“I’m thrilled to be behind the wheel of an INDYCAR SERIES car at the Iowa doubleheader this weekend,” Legge said.

“We had a successful test there last week, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the races unfold on the new surface. I’m grateful to Dale Coyne and Honda and so happy to be back in the 51.”

Legge and DCR competed at the Indianapolis 500 together in May, qualifying 32nd before mechanical issues forced her out after 23 laps.

“We’re looking forward to having Katherine back in the car with us at Iowa this weekend,” team owner Dale Coyne said. “She did a good job for us at Indy, and we had a strong test at Iowa Speedway last week with both Katherine and Jack (Harvey). We’re excited to see what the doubleheader weekend in Iowa brings.”

Legge joins fellow Brit Jack Harvey at the team for the weekend at the .894-mile oval in Newton, Iowa. In her only previous start at the track, she qualified 16th and finished 15th, crashing out after completing 245 of 250 laps.
