After Previously Being Vetoed By Hendrick Motorsports, Kyle Larson’s Latest Revelation Has Fans Asking for Chase Elliott’s Addition to the Indy Program as Well

Kyle Larson had previously stated that he wanted to race in the IndyCar series, however, that plan had fallen through as he continued to race with Hendrick Motorsports in the Cup Series. But as per the latest suggestions by Larson, it seems that both Rick Hendrick and Jeff Gordon have given him the green light to look forward to his shot at the iconic Indy 500.

During a press conference, Larson stated, “As far as I know, I don’t if anyone has or not. I told Jeff and Rick that I would like to do it and it’s up to them to find something. Yeah, Rick didn’t want me doing it this year but in the future, I could.”

In case Larson gets his seat for the iconic open-wheel racing spectacle, he would not be alone to contest for it next year. Kyle Busch has also shown his interest to race in the same event and since he was not allowed to do so while racing with JGR, Busch seemed to have found a better opportunity to do it when he moved to RCR next year.

Fans react to Kyle Larson getting the freedom to look for a chance at the iconic Indy500

Larson has been finally given the heads up to look for a seat to run the Indy 500 event next year and after hearing the news, NASCAR fans want Chase Elliott to be included in the iconic race as well.

However, it is unsure if Elliott would prefer to race in the open-wheel segment, but given how iconic the Indy500 event is, it perhaps could be turned into a reality. The final work still remains with the Hendrick Motorsport driver though. What is more, to consider is that Elliott had previously stated his disinterest in something like the 24 hours of LeMans with a modified Cup Series car. His main reasoning was the competitive side of things.
