[autotag]Kyle Larson[/autotag] will attempt “The Double” in 2024 as he competes in the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600. It would be 1,100 miles in one day, which hasn’t been attempted since Kurt Busch in 2014. However, this might not be Larson’s only attempt at the Indianapolis 500, as he has the option to run it again in 2025.
In an interview with FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion addressed the possibility of running the 2025 Indianapolis 500 after he was asked how many times he’ll run the event.
“I don’t. I’ve heard two years,” Larson said. “But, I really just want to see how this year goes first — because if it scares the [expletive] out of me, I don’t know if I’m going to want to do it again. But I don’t know. We’ll see. Really, I’ve just got to kind of evaluate how the first year goes, I think they have the second year lined up, probably, if I wanted to do it. But we’ll see.”
Larson will have the option to run the 2025 Indianapolis 500, but it’s a time-consuming and treacherous event. The Hendrick Motorsports driver will have a better idea after his time in Indianapolis and Charlotte is over. Either way, it will be very cool to watch Larson attempt one of racing’s biggest feats, as the possibility of this happening again is uncertain.
