[autotag]Kyle Larson[/autotag] will compete in the 2024 Indianapolis 500 with McLaren Racing and fly to Charlotte, NC on the same day to compete in NASCAR’s longest event. Overall, it will be 1,100 miles of racing for Larson between the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600.
On Sunday before the NASCAR Cup Series race at the Indianapolis Road Course, Hendrick Motorsports held a special announcement that revealed both of Larson’s paint schemes for his historic attempt at “The Double.” Needless to say, both paint schemes are living up to the hype of the events.

This is the first time a driver is attempting “The Double” since Kurt Busch accomplished the feat in May 2014. Busch only completed 906 miles of racing due to a blown engine in the Coca-Cola 600. Overall, Larson will be the fifth driver to attempt this scenario.
Rick Hendrick will be a co-owner of the McLaren Racing entry with sponsorship coming from HendrickCars.com. There is not a more diverse driver in the world and no one should count Larson out on possibly winning one of these races.
