Overview

• Larson spun out on lap 92 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, finishing 27th and earning $102,000 from the Indy 500
• A 35-minute rain delay at Indy and a compressed 45-minute helicopter transfer intensified logistical hurdles for his Coca-Cola 600 bid
• At Charlotte Motor Speedway Larson led the opening lap but a multi-car wreck on lap 245 relegated him to 37th place and under $150,000 in prize money
• Fielding the Double cost an estimated $1 million–$2 million in chassis, crew, private flights and documentary coverage versus roughly $300,000 in combined earnings
• Veteran advisers Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. have warned the Double may be too demanding, while McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown commended Larson’s drive and offered future support
