Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson drops some exciting hints that have everybody on the edge of their seats for the next Cup Series season! Even veteran driver Kevin Harvick expressed his excitement for the possible news. He shared on his podcast that looks forward to whatever it is that the talented driver has to share with the NASCAR world next, having full faith that Yung Money would certainly never disappoint.

In a candid interview, Larson shares a titbit of what to expect for the next Indy 500, and it’s all big news if you are familiar with his famous “double” debut take on the event this year! Let’s see what Kevin Harvick has to say.

Kyle Larson to try a second ‘The Double’?

The No. 5 Chevrolet driver, Kyle Larson, slips in a little teaser for his fans, stating that he could possibly be attempting to complete the two races in one day at next year’s Coca-Cola 600 and the Indy 500, just as he tried this year. While we all know how that turned out for him, it’s still exciting to hear him hint at the possibility of trying it again and actually making it this time!

Kevin Harvick expressed his full support for the HMR driver. Saying that if there’s anybody who could make it, it’s Kyle Larson. He said, “He can backpedal all that he wants, he said he wants to come back, he’s going to come back and kiss those bricks on the front straightaway at the Indy 500 and I’m here for it!” Following Larson’s recent victory at the Brickyard 400, he seems optimistic about Larson’s intentions to race again and suggests that Larson’s comments about wanting to compete are more than just casual remarks, indicating a genuine eagerness to tackle “The Double” once more.

When asked if it would be possible for the driver to take up the task once more, considering the hectic schedule that NASCAR drivers have to endure, Harvick simply remarked, “Just do it, just skip practice. He doesn’t need practice.” Subtly showing his admiration for Larson’s talent and passion when it comes to manoeuvring a race car!

Despite Larson’s previous challenges during his first double attempt, including a less-than-ideal finish at the Indy 500, Harvick sees potential for improvement. He mentioned that Larson could benefit from additional experience, hinting that skipping practice might not be an issue for someone with Larson’s skills.

If you haven’t heard yet, Kyle Larson’s first attempt at “The Double”—racing in both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day—was a rollercoaster ride filled with challenges, setbacks, and ultimately, disappointment, to say the least. It was, despite his best efforts and meticulous preparation, that ultimately ruined by Mother Nature, who had other plans for NASCAR that day, with rain delays and cancellations plaguing both races.

He had started the day with high hopes, set to begin the Indy 500 in fifth place. However, a pit-road speeding penalty and a tough race saw him finish 18th. Rushing to make it to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600, Larson faced more weather-related issues, with the race being called off before he could even take the wheel.

Feeling frustrated but grateful for the support he received, the HMR driver took to social media to share his thoughts. Clearly, he had dreamed of joining the elite group of drivers who had successfully completed “The Double,” a grueling challenge only four drivers had attempted before him: John Andretti, Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart, and Kurt Busch. Stewart is the only one who has completed both races successfully, finishing in the top 10 in each. Despite the day’s disappointing outcome, Larson remains hopeful about getting another shot in the future.

So, let’s stay tuned and keep our fingers crossed for Kyle Larson’s next attempt at “The Double.” With his talent, determination, and Harvick’s subtle encouragement, he has the potential to pull it off and cement his place in motorsports history.
