Rick Hendrick says in a similar situation to this season, NASCAR will be the priority in Kyle Larson's attempt at 'The Double' with Hendrick Motorsports and Arrow McLaren.
Kyle Larson will look to make up for last season's weather-impacted attempt at running 'The Double' -- where a driver competes in both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 in the same afternoon -- next Memorial Day Weekend.
"We're going to run the ," said Hendrick, when asked about a repeat of this year's scenario. "We will be here for the 600 if that means cutting the race short at Indianapolis because of my commitment to NASCAR. We're in NASCAR, and that's where we run for the championship. If the weather catches us, Tony will get in the car."
Then came the waiver discussion: a nine-day deliberation by high-level NASCAR officials on whether Larson would be eligible to make the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, after failing to start a race in the regular season.So, in theory, really how hard is that hard cutoff for Larson? Is there some wiggle room?
