IndyCar drivers Josef Newgarden and Pato O'Ward are looking to make a move to NASCAR inspired by Kyle Larson's achievements.
Josef Newgarden and Pato O'Ward, two of the most lauded names in IndyCar racing, are eyeing a venture into NASCAR, inspired by the dual-race ambitions of Kyle Larson.During his impressive career, Newgarden has always considered a crossover into NASCAR. The Nashville Superspeedway, a 1.33-mile D-shaped oval that re-entered the racing scene in 2021 with NASCAR's Ally 400, played a significant role in reigniting his NASCAR dreams.
Larson's enduring dream to race in the Indianapolis 500, which he accomplished with an 18th-place finish, provides a blueprint for Newgarden. Reflecting on Larson's experience, Newgarden noted:'That's the race Kyle's dreamed of running his whole life. A lot of people didn't know that. They would've assumed it was something different. For him to get that opportunity, you could tell that was his dream to be there.'He was just taking it all in.
