Kyle Larson, the once-disgraced NASCAR driver who returned to the sport to win a points title in 2021, will attempt to race the Indianapolis 500 next year with McLaren Racing in a joint effort with his current team owner Rick Hendrick.
The surprise announcement Thursday by McLaren and Hendrick at last gives Larson a path into his dream race. It also means he will become just the fifth driver to run 'The Double' on Memorial Day weekend, driving the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte, , on the same day. John Andretti, Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch are the other NASCAR drivers to compete in both races.
Larson, who drew criticism in 2020 for using the n-word on a live broadcast, has long said he wants to race in the Indy 500. However, he did not have a viable Chevrolet opportunity for the 2023 running of 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing' this May.
