Overview

  • Kyle Larson will begin the Indianapolis 500 at 12:45 p.m. ET before flying to Charlotte for the Coca-Cola 600 later that evening.
  • Only four drivers have attempted the 1,100-mile double, with Tony Stewart being the sole competitor to finish both races in 2001.
  • Larson’s first attempt in 2024 was disrupted by weather delays, but he feels physically and mentally ready for this year’s challenge at age 32.
  • He has focused on adapting to the tighter IndyCar cockpit, complex steering controls, and unique visibility compared to NASCAR Cup cars.
  • Larson’s primary goal is to complete every lap, with an aspirational aim to win one or both races, prioritizing an Indy 500 victory.
