Katherine Legge is the only woman in this year’s Indianapolis 500 field, and just the 10th to ever qualify for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.
Saturday was the first day of qualifying for the Indy 500. All 34 drivers vying to make the 33-car field had around six hours to lay down 4 laps as fast as they possibly can.

So, the only positions on the grid set in stone Saturday afternoon were P13 through P30.

Brewers outfielder Jesse Winker was ejected from Saturday’s tilt against the Rays after arguing a pitch clock violation issued to him from home plate umpire Adam Hamari.
Winker was given an automatic strike during his at-bat against Ryan Thompson in the eighth inning after Hamari deemed that he’d taken too long to get into the batter’s box.
The bizarre part, however, was that Thompson had yet to even step on the mound, and Milwaukee’s bat boy could be seen scurrying out of frame of the camera just moments before the violation was issued.
