“The double” has not been completed since 2001, despite several valiant attempts since then, but Kyle Larson is looking to add his name in the history books.
The Indy 500 is set to begin at 12:45 p.m. ET at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, five hours and 15 minutes before the green flag will come out in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the Coca-Cola 600.
The flight between the two tracks is roughly an hour and a half, but Larson wants to brave it out.

“The main why is I love to race. I like to challenge myself, you kind of learn new cars and all that. And I like to compete in the biggest races in the world. So to do two of those in the same day, it’s pretty cool,” Larson said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.
“For me, I want to do it while I’m in my prime. I’m only 32, feel like I’m at the top of our sport, I felt like the timing is right for that. I don’t know how long my NASCAR career will last… I think it’ll be really fun to do a road course race, just to experience that sort of feel of cars that have a lot of power and sliding around, no power-steering, the physicality of it. And also, getting to race with guys in their territory and see what they grew up doing, and just seeing the caliber and level they race at, because it would be different than what us NASCAR guys see and feel on a road course.”

HOW A BOND BETWEEN FATHER AND SON BLOOMED A TWO-TIME INDY 500 CHAMPION
Five drivers, including Larson, have attempted the feat, and some have been able to run both races. However, Tony Stewart, who finished sixth at Indy and third in the Coke 600 in 2001, remains the only driver to accomplish all 1,100 miles. The last person to run both races is Kurt Busch, who finished the Indy 500 in sixth in 2014, but engine failure in Charlotte cost him the completion of that race.
Larson attempted the double last year, but rain delayed the Indy 500, and that same storm prevented him from competing in Charlotte later on in the day, despite making it to the track.
“I had fun last year, it helped prepare me for this year. There’s still a lot of good that came from last year even though I didn’t get to run both. Hopefully the weather stays good, as it looks like it should, we can have everything on time, and do a good job in the races too and run up front.”
For beginners, Larson has one main goal: “Finish all the laps.”
“But then, you look at where the bar’s at,” he continued, mentioning Stewart’s accomplishment. “You’re like ‘I want to beat that.’ If you can win one of the two, that’d be great. But it is hard to win a NASCAR race, which I do every week,” Larson said.

“Winning the Indy 500 would be tougher, but it can definitely be done at the same time. The fastest car, best driver, doesn’t technically always win the race. If you just execute the details the best you can and don’t make any mistakes, you can have an opportunity to win at the end. If we can just do a good job, the results can take care of itself and we can have a great day.”
It would be nearly impossible to win both, but Larson knows which one he would rather have.
“I’ve won the 600, I would take the Indy 500,” he said. “But if I can win one of the two, it would be amazing.”

After Mother Nature wiped out four of the first seven Selinsgrove Ford Appalachian Mountain Speedweek dates, New Jersey’s Bridgeport Motorsports Park played host to fourth-round miniseries action Sunday.
Gregg Satterlee came on strong down the stretch, leading the final 17 of 40 laps for his second victory of Appalachian Speedweek that came 3.7 seconds over Bryan Bernheisel. Jakob Piper edged out USAC Sprint Car full-timer Briggs Danner, who made his Late Model debut, for third.
Trever Feathers commanded the opening 23 laps before his left-rear tire eventually went flat. Satterlee passed Feathers for the lead on a lap-24 restart in a race that featured six cautions, but by then Feathers said he felt his left-rear going flat.
Sunday was supposed to be the miniseries finale, but Speedweek director Jim Bernheisel announced at the drivers’ meeting he’s rescheduled the minitour date at Selinsgrove (Pa.) Speedway for July 11, which now serves as the fifth and final event.

The NASCAR Cup Series race in Mexico City had its share of fireworks over the weekend, but the biggest incident was saved for last well after the checkered flag waved on Sunday.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. didn’t appear to have anything nice to say when he confronted Carson Hocevar following their collision in the stadium section of Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Hocevar and Stenhouse got into each other on Lap 90.

Stenhouse eventually drove to 27th and Hocevar finished 34th.
The Amazon Prime Video broadcast showed Stenhouse leaning into Hocevar’s vehicle and giving him a few choice words. Stenhouse was asked after the confrontation what he told Hocevar.
“I told him I was going to beat his a– once we got back in the States,” he said, via The Athletic.

Hocevar was heard in the vehicle trying to explain to Stenhouse what happened with his vehicle, but to no avail. The two have built up a rivalry on the track over the last few weeks of the season. Stenhouse called out Hocevar’s aggressive driving after a wreck in Nashville.
While it seemed the two had let bygones be bygones after the Nashville race, the lingering smoke has built up a new fire.
Shane Van Gisbergen won the race. Christopher Bell finished right behind him in second place.

Alpine set to name Steve Nielsen as F1 team manager

The Alpine Formula 1 team is set to announce that paddock veteran Steve Nielsen will become its new team manager.
Nielsen, 60, has worked in F1 since 1986 having initially started as a truck driver for a Formula 1 catering firm.
The Brit has held a number of roles with Lotus, Tyrrell, Honda and Arrows during his time in the series.
However, he is best known for his work with the Benetton team, where he worked with Flavio Briatore.
Briatore, who now holds the title of executive advisor for the Alpine Formula 1 division, is looking for a safe pair of hands following Ollie Oakes’ shock departure from the team in May after the Miami Grand Prix.
Oakes left the team in bizarre circumstances and at the same time as news broke that his brother, William, was charged with transferring criminal property. And while there was no suggestion Oliver Oakes had done anything wrong, he quit his role with the F1 team.

Briatore has duly turned to Nielsen, who held a similar role for Toro Rosso in 2013 and at Williams in 2014.
Nielsen then worked for F1 as sporting director in August 2017 and joined the FIA in January 2023.
However, he quit the governing body after only 11 months in the position and became the second high-profile departure from the organisation after Deborah Mayer also resigned from her position as head of the FIA’s commission for women.
Motorsport.com understands that the hugely-respected Nielsen will be given the title of team manager, which is likely to take in the responsibility of a traditional F1 team principal and report into Briatore.
Motorsport.com also understands that while talks are progressing between Briatore and Nielsen, the terms over his job title are yet to be agreed, which could cause complications with the FIA.
If Nielsen is indeed to act as team principal, even if he has the title of team manager, he would require to have a valid FIA licence. The situation could become complicated by his previous role with the FIA and his subsequent departure. The circumstances surrounding his exit remain unknown and came during a time of political instability within F1’s governing body.
Shortly after his exit, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem was the subjected of an whistleblower’s unproven accusation that he had interfered with the outcome of the 2023 Saudi Arabian GP.

LM24 Hour 13: No. 83 Ferrari retakes overall lead
While the hour began with new hope for Toyota, Ryo Hirakawa leading most of it in the No. 8 Toyota Gazoo Racing GR010 Hybrid after a slow pit stop for the No. 6 Porsche Penske Motorsports 963, it ended wtih Yifei Ye back at the front in the No. 83 AF Corse Ferrari 499P. In […]

While the hour began with new hope for Toyota, Ryo Hirakawa leading most of it in the No. 8 Toyota Gazoo Racing GR010 Hybrid after a slow pit stop for the No. 6 Porsche Penske Motorsports 963, it ended wtih Yifei Ye back at the front in the No. 83 AF Corse Ferrari 499P.
In between was a highly entertaining battle that ebbed and flowed with traffic. It culminated with Ye taking the lead in the second Mulsanne chicane and Hirakawa taking station in second. The first factory Ferrari ran third, Alessandro Pier Guidi at the wheel of the No. 51. Raffaele Marciello holds fourth in the No. 15 BMW M Team WRT M Hybrid V8, and Miguel Molina made it all three Ferraris in the top five.
As Matt Campbell took over the No. 6 PPM 963 from Laurens Vanthoor, what seemed like a solid position at the front suddenly became sixth, just ahead of Alex Lynn in the No. 12 Cadillac Hertz Team Jota V-Series.R.
Louis Delétraz is back behind the wheel of the No. 199 AO by TF ORECA, and has the car third overall in LMP2, first among the Pro-Am entries. The No. 43 Inter Europol Competition ORECA of Jakub Smiechowski had the LMP2 lead over Reshad De Gérus in the No. 9 Iron Lynx-Proton entry.
The No. 48 VDS Panis Racing ORECA of Esteban Masson had just cycled out of the lead with a pit stop.
Manthey 1st Phorm continued to lead LMGT3 with starter Ryan Hardwick now back in control of the No. 92 Porsche 911 GT3R. Simon Mann, who had had a potential penalty for rejoining behind the same safety car in the previous hour hanging over his head, was second in the No. 21 Vista AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3.
The No. 81 TF Sport Corvette Z06 GT3.R continued a strong run in third, Charlie Eastwood taking over from Rui Andrade.
“The safety car was really lucky,” explained Andrade. “It came out at a good time for us and put us right in the mix. So far so good. Our car is good, we haven’t made many mistakes, everyone is driving really well, the team is doing a good job. Fingers crossed we can keep this up.”
Akkodis ASP’s No. 78 Lexus RC F GT3 of Finn Gehrsitz ran fourth, ahead of the No. 27 Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin Vantage GT3 with Ian James in the cockpit.
Although the racing has been far from tame, the fights are likely to get more intense over the next hour as light fills the sky. Dawn will arrive as race enters its 15th hour.
