As Kyle Larson aims for ‘the Double,’ other IndyCar and NASCAR drivers ponder motorsports marathon
Kyle Larson will take another crack at “the Double” on Sunday by trying to complete every lap of the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Tony Stewart is the only one to have pulled it off. But while attempts have been rare, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of drivers interested in it. Two-time defending Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden, Team Penske teammate Scott McLaughlin and reigning IndyCar series champion Alex Palou all expressed some desire to give it a try this week. It takes some serious financial support, the backing of teams in both IndyCar and NASCAR, logistical help, and plenty of luck.
