Overview

• Kyle Larson is set to attempt the historic Double, racing in the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, a feat last fully completed by Tony Stewart in 2001.
• This marks Larson’s second attempt after a rain delay in 2024 prevented him from competing in both races as planned.
• The joint effort between Hendrick Motorsports and Arrow McLaren highlights the logistical and technical complexities of switching between IndyCar and NASCAR vehicles.
• New NASCAR rules disqualify full-time drivers from playoffs if they miss a race, increasing the stakes for Larson to make it to Charlotte on time after Indianapolis.
• This attempt is Larson’s final opportunity to complete the Double under his current partnership with Arrow McLaren, which ends after the Indy 500.
