Don’t expect Kyle Larson to pound endless laps testing an Indy car ahead of this year’s 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 25.
A year ago, the California native spared no expense in preparation for his maiden attempt at "The Double" - running the Indy 500 and the 600-mile NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte on the same Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend (a joint effort with Arrow McLaren and Hendrick Motorsports). He participated in the Indy 500 rookie test in October 2023 before pushing through roughly 172 laps of running at Phoenix Raceway in February of 2024. Then there was the annual Indy Open Test last April, which allowed Larson to get a feel for the elements against the rest of the Indy 500 entrants a month before the race.
