Kyle Larson will attempt ‘The Double’ this weekend, after qualifying for both the Indy 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600. The Hendricks Motorsport NASCAR driver will climb into an Arrow McLaren to race for the first time in the IndyCar championship.
The Californian driver qualified fifth for the Indy 500 in his debut before flying to the practice session for the Coca-Cola 600, where he finished fourth. He is the first driver in a decade to attempt the feat, following in the footsteps of just a handful of drivers since Cale Yarborough in 1967, when the challenge ran over multiple days and was known as ‘The Cross-over’.
