The driver who famously raced at both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day is Tony Stewart. He achieved this feat on May 28, 2001, although he only participated in the Indy 500 as a driver for Chip Ganassi Racing. Stewart completed the Indy 500 before flying to Charlotte Motor Speedway to compete in the Coca-Cola 600, making it a remarkable day in motorsports history.
Stands for Rookie.
It was the first time 2 female drivers started the same Indy 500 and the race was won by Juan Pablo Montoya who broke ranks from the CART series and raced at Indianapolis. Montoya dominated on race day, becoming the first rookie winner since Graham Hill in 1966, and the first driver to win from the second starting position since Mario Andretti in 1969.
