Kyle Larson's double attempt in May drew the attention of racing fans everywhere. His return visit to Indianapolis comes Friday — back on the historic 2.5-mile oval.
FILE - Kyle Larson prepares to drive during qualifications for the Indianapolis 500 auto race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Saturday, May 18, 2024, in Indianapolis . Two months ago Larson was attempting the double, running 1,100 miles in two races on Memorial Day weekend. He returns to Indianapolis this weekend, focused on a NASCAR regular-season championship.
Things got even worse over the past two weeks for the California native. The world’s most versatile driver finished 39th in Chicago and 13th at Pocono, leaving him second in the Cup standings — three points behind Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott, the 2020 NASCAR champ.Longtime Cup owner Rick Hendrick to drive pace car at Brickyard 400
The lone practice session is scheduled for Friday afternoon with qualifying set for Saturday, a far cry from the weeklong six-hour practice sessions and two days of qualifying Larson had leading up to the 500.
