Overview

• Larson will carry his Brickyard 400 title into both the NASCAR Xfinity Series race and the Cup Series event at Indianapolis this weekend.
• He has ruled out an immediate return to the Memorial Day Double because of logistical constraints, although he still aims to run the Indianapolis 500 once his NASCAR commitments ease.
• Despite crashing out of both the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 in May, Larson says his view of the Speedway remains unchanged and he praises its storied history.
• He has not won a Cup race since his 2024 Brickyard 400 victory but does not attribute the winless stretch to last month’s Double attempt.
• Larson arrives off a fourth-place finish at Dover, marking his first top-five result in six starts, as he seeks to rebuild consistency.
