Kyle Larson hopes to become just the fifth driver to ever complete 'The Double' -- a coveted achievement where a driver runs both the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR's longest race [the Coca-Cola 600] on the very same day.
Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart, John Andretti, and Kurt Busch have all successfully done it before. Larson was set to join this elite group last year, but shockingly failed in his attempt when the Indy 500 ran late due to rain. He still made it back to Charlotte while the NASCAR race was ongoing, but in a cruel twist of fate, the same rain showers that delayed things in Indianapolis had now reached Charlotte. By the time he was ready to get in the car, it was over as NASCAR called the race early.
