Kyle Larson Fails to Complete Indy 500, Coca-Cola 600 Double Attempt

News summary

Kyle Larson's second attempt at completing 'The Double'—racing the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day—ended in multiple crashes and disappointment. A rain-delayed start at Indianapolis put his schedule under pressure, and Larson crashed out midway through the Indy 500, preventing a full run. Despite arriving on time at Charlotte, he led early in the Coca-Cola 600 but suffered a spin and later a multi-car wreck, finishing 37th. Larson expressed frustration with the logistical challenges, weather delays, and the narrow window between the two races, suggesting that while he would like to race the Indy 500 again, attempting 'The Double' may no longer be feasible. NASCAR's increased difficulty for drivers attempting both events further complicates prospects for future attempts. Larson's experiences highlight the significant hurdles in completing this demanding feat, which only Tony Stewart has accomplished once in 2001.
