Engine issue derails Kyle Larson’s first Indy 500 qualifying run

The NASCAR Cup star went out sixth among the 34 drivers, speeding to a quick opening lap of 232.719mph in the No. 17 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, which is also co-owned by legendary NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick. Larson managed to keep a strong run together by running 232.318mph on his second lap and then 232.299mph on the third circuit around the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Miller / Motorsport Images Larson, who is the fifth driver to attempt ‘The Double’ – the Indy 500 and NASCAR’s 600-mile race in Charlotte on the same day of Memorial Day Weekend – described the feeling of his run to that point. “I felt like off Turn 4 I got a little bit free once coming to the white ,” Larson said. “And then, yeah, we didn't make an off Turn 1. “I just got to catch up with them and see what the alarm was and what that all was. But yeah, that sucks.
