The day that [autotag]Kyle Larson[/autotag] and everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived. Larson is supposed to attempt “The Double” by competing in the 2024 Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600. Unfortunately, the weather will affect the racing, and Larson may have his focus locked on the biggest racing event of the 2024 season.
According to Tony Kanaan on WTHR.com, Larson will “stay and prioritize the Indianapolis 500” despite the weather potentially delaying the start. This means Larson could miss the Coca-Cola 600, which Rick Hendrick has indirectly hinted at. If needed, Justin Allgaier would replace Larson in the No. 5 Hendrickcars.com Chevrolet at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The forecast for the Indianapolis 500 isn’t great, but there might be a window to race today. If not, the NTT IndyCar Series will postpone the event until Monday. Meanwhile, there could be weather in the forecast for the Coca-Cola 600, too. It will be interesting to see what Larson does with the weather in the forecast for both events on Sunday.
