Kyle Larson wants to run the Indy 500, but it doesn't look like it will be happening any time soon.
Indy Car has no plans on moving up the start time to accommodate drivers that want to do the double.

Only just, he missed driver introductions iirc and that was aided by him crashing out the 500 early.
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.

Yep. He ran remarkably well that race. But his race at Charlotte ended with a blown engine on Lap 278 of 400.kals wrote:Kurt Busch finished 6th at the Indy 500.Ian-S wrote:Only just, he missed driver introductions iirc and that was aided by him crashing out the 500 early.
