Another Indy 500 race not likely until Kyle Larson's NASCAR career ends
LEBANON, Tenn. (AP) — Kyle Larson hasn't spent much time thinking about his latest failed attempt at becoming only the second driver to run all 1,100 miles of the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway again may just have to wait until Larson's NASCAR career ends. 'That's not me shutting down the 500 again,' Larson said. 'Someday, maybe when I'm done with Cup racing, I would definitely love to do the 500 again, and devote all of my time to it. It's such an awesome event, like it is the greatest event in the world. So I don't want to miss out on that too much.' Larson said Saturday the attempt just doesn't make sense logistically with any small delay, weather or crash throwing off the entire schedule. He's been dealing with a bit of a 'Double' hangover since last weekend's attempt. He also made a quick trip to Mexico to check out the altitude and area for NASCAR's race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on June 15. He slept much of Friday after getting sick. Larson made his first try at one of the toughest challenges in motorsports in 2024 when four hours of rain delays at the Indianapolis 500 wrecked his plans at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, then made him late to Charlotte with the NASCAR race called before he ever took a lap. Last week, Larson crashed on Lap 91 of the Indianapolis 500, flew to Charlotte and then had his NASCAR race end on Lap 246 when caught up in a wreck ending his bid to join Tony Stewart who finished sixth in the 2001 Indy 500 before flying to Charlotte where he finished third in the Cup Series race. John Andretti was the first driver to try the double in 1994, and Robby Gordon and Kurt Busch also have given it a shot. Asked what changes could help make competing in both races and finishing the Double possible, Larson said moving the start time up for the Indy 500 wouldn't work. That race already starts at 9:45 a.m. on the West Coast with people there unlikely to wake up earlier. Larson said the Coca-Cola 600 can't start much later. Even with not many cautions, that race still ends after 11 p.m. Eastern. 'I don't know how those guys did in the past, like that must have been perfect, weather and cautions and all that,' Larson said. ___ AP auto racing:

Kyle Larson crashes out of both Indy 500, Coca-Cola 600: 'A bummer of a day'
INDIANAPOLIS — Kyle Larson's quest to run 1,100 miles in one day ended after 91 laps of the Indianapolis 500 when he wrecked just short of halfway through the race. Larson finished 27th in the Indy 500 and left soon after the crash for Charlotte Motor Speedway to compete in the NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600, where things didn't go too much better as he wrecked just past halfway. At Charlotte, he led 34 laps until spinning on Lap 43, getting back on the lead lap with the free pass when the caution came out on Lap 200 and then got collected in a crash on Lap 246, ending his race. He finished 37th. "A bummer of a day all around," Larson said in Charlotte. It was echoes of Indianapolis. "I'm just bummed out," Larson said. "I'm just very disappointed." The Hendrick Motorsports driver is the fifth to start both races in the same day, but only one driver – Tony Stewart — completed all 1,100 miles when he did it in 2001. "The best therapy is to get back behind the wheel," Larson said Sunday after his second-ever INDYCAR race. "So thankfully, I only have a few hours until I'll be back behind the wheel. Once we crank the engines up there, I'll forget about it." Larson's wreck happened when he was following Takuma Sato and he tried to duck to the left and ended up spinning. The wreck also took out Kyffin Simpson and Sting Ray Robb. "We were just bunched up on the restart and I was really close to Takuma in front of me and got kind of aero-tight behind him and as I peeked left, the nose grabbed [toward the surface] and I spun," Larson said. "I hate that I caused that crash and hate that others got collected in it. I hate it for ... everybody that put a lot into making this effort possible." The day had not gone great for Larson, who stalled the car earlier on pit road, which had put him in the middle of the pack. Before the race started, things also weren't going his way. Drizzle delayed the green flag by 48 minutes and there was a good chance Larson was going to have to leave retire from the race before it ended. NASCAR rules require a driver to start every race to be eligible for the playoffs. If they miss a race, they must get a waiver from the rule. Last year, after more than a week of deliberation as Larson never competed in the Charlotte race following a rain-delayed Indy 500, NASCAR granted the waiver. Larson, the Cup Series points leader, said he didn't know if he was going to have to retire early Sunday. "I don't know, wasn't too focused on that," said Larson, who was driving an Arrow McLaren car at Indy. "When I was sitting there for 45 minutes [before the race], it was on my mind. But once we got racing, I wasn't really worried about that." The bummed Larson indicated he isn't sure he wants to attempt the double again. "I don't know," Larson said. "It's a large investment and to have it go not good two years in a row, I just don't think it's really worth it at this point." Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and IndyCar for FOX Sports.
