The one thing all the prior planning cannot prepare for – race day weather – may ultimately decide whether Kyle Larson is counted among the greats who completed one of motorsports’ greatest endurance tests.

Larson, the 2021 NASCAR Cup champion, is bidding to become just the fifth driver to race the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. So far, he has been off to an impressive start – advancing last Sunday to the Fast Six in Indy 500 qualifying and earning the fifth starting spot. Larson managed to make it to last Sunday night’s NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway with plenty of time to spare and found himself in contention for the win before finishing fourth.

I would for sure, even if I got both races in, I would for sure probably be a little bit bummed that I wasn’t able to do both on the same day, but I think I would be happy. “Happiest, though, if I did get to run both and didn’t have to come out of one car . We’ll just see how it goes. Hopefully the weather ends up working out for us.
