Larson is making his maiden attempt in the Indy 500 as part of ‘the double’ on Memorial Day Weekend that includes running the 600-mile NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 26. He is driving the Chevrolet-powered No. 17 that is co-entered by Arrow McLaren and Rick Hendrick.
With the complications of weather, such as the rain that limited Tuesday’s opening practice for the Indy 500 to 23 minutes of on-track running, back up plans have been a talking point when it comes to Larson’s logistics.
