Kyle Larson’s ambitious plan of tackling both the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Coke 600 is now in jeopardy as rain delays the start of the Indy 500. The NASCAR champion is facing a race against time as he aims to compete in both events on the same day, with the need to be present for driver introductions in Charlotte looming large at 17:25pm local time.
With light, persistent rain causing a delay in the start of the Indy 500, Larson’s hopes of covering a total of 1,100 miles today are hanging by a thread. As the cars remain lined up on the grid, Larson finds himself starting in 21st position. However, even if the race commences, there is a possibility that Larson might have to be replaced to ensure his timely arrival in Charlotte. In such a scenario, Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan is poised to step in as Larson’s relief driver.
The unfolding drama at the Indianapolis 500 presents a nail-biting situation for Larson and his fans, as the prospect of achieving the remarkable feat of competing in two prestigious races on the same day now faces a significant hurdle. Stay tuned for further updates on Larson’s Double Duty endeavor as the situation continues to develop.
