Katherine Legge pushing to race in the 2026 Indianapolis 500

Katherine Legge is looking to return to the Indianapolis 500. In 2025, Legge wasn't able to compete in the Indy 500 and she focused most of her attention on racing in NASCAR. The last time she competed in the Indianapolis 500 was in 2024, finishing in 31st place for Dale Coyne Racing after an engine failure.

However, will Legge compete in the 2026 Indianapolis 500? The 45-year-old driver revealed that she is pushing to race in the Indy 500 through RACER.com's Marshall Pruett.

"The Indy 500 is the most iconic race in the world to so many people, and it's the world's largest sporting event, and it's one that's very close to my heart,” Legge told RACER. “I feel I have unfinished business there, and I've been working really hard, as have e.l.f., at getting the best possible situation to be competitive at Indy...We have been very fortunate to have gather a lot of support, not only from sponsors, but also Chevrolet, which have been awesome. And a number of IndyCar folks have been willing to put their name behind us, too. So we're just looking forward to putting all the final pieces together and want to go get a great result for everyone at the 500.”

Legge believes she has unfinished business in the Indianapolis 500. After not competing in the event last year, the 45-year-old driver hopes to secure a ride in 2026. If Legge is able to find a seat for the Indianapolis 500, it might put the field over 33 entries, giving the NTT IndyCar Series some drama during qualifying.

Futbol üzrə Azərbaycan millisinin hücumçusu Renat Dadaşov Polşanın “Motor” komandasının “Zaqlenbe”yə qarşı keçirdiyi oyunu buraxıb.

Arena.az xəbər verir ki, 26 yaşlı hücumçunun komandası Polşa çempionatının 2025/2026-cı illər mövsümünün 26-cı turu çərçivəsində “Zaqlenbe” ilə qarşılaşıb.

Lyublin təmsilçisi bu rəqiblə doğma meydanda üz-üzə gəlib və 1:0 hesabıyla qalib gəlib. Renat bu görüşün iştirakçısı olmayıb. O, sarı vərəqə limitini doldurduğu üçün bu görüşü buraxı.

26 turdan sonra 37 xalı olan “Motor” hazırda Polşa çempionatının turnir cədvəlində 18 iştirakçı arasında 6-cı pillədə qərarlaşıb. Renatın komandası keçirdiyi 26 oyunda 9 qələbə qazanıb, 10 heç-heçə edib, 7 məğlubiyyətə üzülüb.

Renat Dadaşov ötən mövsümü Polşanın digər klubu “Radomyak”da keçirib. Amma o, mövsüm bitən kimi sözügedən klubu tərk edib və “Motor”la razılaşıb. Renat karyerası ərzində “Qrasshopper”, “Tondela”, “Eştoril”, “Pasuş de Ferreyra”, “Hatayspor”, “Ankaragücü” kimi klublarda da forma geyinib. O, Azərbaycan milli komandasının heyətində meydana çıxdığı 41 oyunda 6 qol, 1 məhsuldar ötürmə müəllifi olub.

Austria February 2026: Dacia Bigster and Skoda Elroq strong in market up 8.5%

17 March 2026 at 03:01

Fifth Top 5 finish for the Dacia Bigster in Austria.

21,288 new cars hit Austrian roads in February, another solid 8.5% year-on-year improvement. After a double-digit gain in January, the year-to-date volume is up 10.4% to 44.217. Volkswagen (+1.7%) remains in the brands lead even though it can’t quite capitalise on the market growth. In contrast Skoda (+16.9%) and Audi (+10.4%) pushed ahead and complete the podium as it was also the case in January. BMW (-21%) is in a rut at #4 while Dacia (+13%) is up four spots on last month to round out the Top 5. Peugeot (+44.3%), Cupra (+21.7%) and Toyota (+15%) also make themselves noticed in the remainder of the Top 10. Below, BYD (+62.8%) at #12, Fiat (+89.4%), MG (+136.1%) and Leapmotor (+463.6%) are among carmakers standing out.

Model-wise, the VW Golf (-13.9%) repeats at #1 for what is only its third win in the past 12 months, it is followed by the Skoda Octavia (-27.5%) in even worse shape. The Toyota Yaris/Cross (+102.7%) doubles its sales year-on-year and surges 15 spots on January to #3. The Dacia Bigster (+40000%) celebrates one year in market with a splendid 4th position, already its 5th Top 5 finish in Austria. The VW Pplo (+23.5%) is down 5 ranks on last month but soars YoY, as do the Audi Q3 (+214.8%), Skoda Elroq (+623.5%), Enyaq (+82.4%), VW Bus (+72.5%), Seat Leon (+71%) and Audi A1 (+169.5%).
