Kyle Larson will drive the Indy 500 in the NASCAR Cup race if weather delays
NASCAR star Kyle Larson will stay in Indianapolis in case weather delays or interrupts Sunday’s Indy 500, a source told IndyStar Sunday morning.
Larson, the NASCAR Cup points leader who qualified fifth for Sunday’s Indy 500, attempts to drive at Indy and in the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night. He is the first driver to attempt the “Double” since 2014.
Gavin Ward, team principal for Arrow McLaren, the team that will field Larson’s No. 17 Chevrolet for the Indy 500, said NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick is “committed” to Larson’s participation in the Indy 500.
