Kyle Larson will miss a large portion of NASCAR All-Star Race for Indy 500 practice, qualifying

It’s going to be a busy couple of weeks for Kyle Larson between North Wilkesboro, Indy qualifying, then the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 the week after. Private jets and helicopter rides are going to be Larson’s main way of travel.

We know that Larson keeps a busy schedule throughout the week. Typically, he can be seen at a dirt track throughout the week before he suits up for the Cup Series on the weekend. So, being busy isn’t going to be that much of an issue.

Kyle Larson has a chance to make history

For the first time in ten years, a driver will attempt the Memorial Day Double. One of the most difficult feats in all of motorsports. 1100 miles of racing between Indianapolis and Charlotte. Throw in the travel time, the stress that comes with bouncing around all over the place, let alone the physical toll that will take.

Kyle Larson is more or less the spiritual successor to Tony Stewart. Dirt racer who has dipped his toe into just about every form of racing. However, Stewart had the advantage of being an IndyCar driver before he was in NASCAR. So, when he did the double, it wasn’t as big of an adjustment.

As for Larson, he is going to have to adapt quickly. Every lap on the track at Indy is going to be important for him and will only make him better. Watching talented racers learn with each lap and improve during a run is so much fun and I expect that from Larson.

With how talented Kyle Larson is, we aren’t talking about a top-10 finish at Indy. People smarter than me believe he could be a threat to win. Of course, we know that he can win at Charlotte, he already has a Coke 600 to his name. Don’t expect to see much of Larson at the All-Star Race.
