Kyle Larson says another Indy 500 not likely until NASCAR career ends

“Someday, maybe when I’m done with Cup racing, I would definitely love to do the 500 again, and devote all of my time to it,” Larson said.

“Someday, maybe when I’m done with Cup racing, I would definitely love to do the 500 again, and devote all of my time to it,” Larson said.

LEBANON, Tenn. — Kyle Larson hasn’t spent much time thinking about his latest failed attempt at becoming only the second driver to run all 1,100 miles of the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day.

Racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway again may just have to wait until Larson’s NASCAR career ends.

“That’s not me shutting down the 500 again,” Larson said. “Someday, maybe when I’m done with Cup racing, I would definitely love to do the 500 again, and devote all of my time to it. It’s such an awesome event, like it is the greatest event in the world. So I don’t want to miss out on that too much.”

Larson said Saturday the attempt just doesn’t make sense logistically with any small delay, weather or crash throwing off the entire schedule.

He’s been dealing with a bit of a “Double” hangover since last weekend’s attempt. He also made a quick trip to Mexico to check out the altitude and area for NASCAR’s race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on June 15. He slept much of Friday after getting sick.

Larson made his first try at one of the toughest challenges in motorsports in 2024 when four hours of rain delays at the Indianapolis 500 wrecked his plans at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, then made him late to Charlotte with the NASCAR race called before he ever took a lap.

Last week, Larson crashed on Lap 91 of the Indianapolis 500, flew to Charlotte and then had his NASCAR race end on Lap 246 when caught up in a wreck ending his bid to join Tony Stewart who finished sixth in the 2001 Indy 500 before flying to Charlotte where he finished third in the Cup Series race.

John Andretti was the first driver to try the double in 1994, and Robby Gordon and Kurt Busch also have given it a shot.

Asked what changes could help make competing in both races and finishing the Double possible, Larson said moving the start time up for the Indy 500 wouldn’t work. That race already starts at 9:45 a.m. on the West Coast with people there unlikely to wake up earlier.

Larson said the Coca-Cola 600 can’t start much later. Even with not many cautions, that race still ends after 11 p.m. Eastern.

“I don’t know how those guys did in the past, like that must have been perfect, weather and cautions and all that,” Larson said.

William Sawalich Storms to Xfinity Pole at Nashville

It’s been an unfortunate start to William Sawalich’s maiden campaign in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, with the Joe Gibbs Racing driver sitting 24th in series point standings at the halfway point of the regular season.

However, by scoring a pole position ahead of Saturday’s Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville Superspeedway, the Eden Prairie, Minnesota-native is looking to make a significant turnaround for the No. 18 Toyota GR Supra team.

Sawalich, driving the Starkey-sponsored No. 18, turned a lap time of 30.860 seconds (155.152mph) to secure the pole for Saturday’s 250-mile contest, beating NASCAR Xfinity Series veteran Austin Hill for the top spot.

It’s the second career pole position for Sawalich in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, the first of which came in last season’s finale at Phoenix Raceway.

Austin Hill will start on the outside of the front row, driving for Richard Childress Racing. The driver of the No. 21 Chevrolet posted a lap of 30.944 seconds.

STARTING LINEUP: Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville

Sam Mayer will start the race from third place, with Justin Allgaier and Sheldon Creed completing the race’s top-five starters. Carson Kvapil, Nick Sanchez, Aric Almirola, Ross Chastain, and Connor Zilisch rounded out the top-10.

Other notables starting outside the top-10 include Ryan Sieg (11th), Christian Eckes (12th), Brandon Jones (13th), Sammy Smith (14th), Jesse Love (15th), Corey Day (21st), Taylor Gray (24th).

Kyle Sieg, who paced NASCAR Xfinity Series practice on Saturday afternoon, will start the event from 28th-place.

With 40 drivers on the entry list for Saturday’s Tennessee Lottery 250, two drivers were sent home prior to the green flag, those being Katherine Legge (Jordan Anderson Racing) and Glen Reen (Joey Gase Motorsports).

The green flag for the Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville Superspeedway will drop at 7:00 PM ET on The CW, PRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.

LEBANON, Tenn.

LEBANON, Tenn. (AP) — Brad Keselowski said RFK Racing has made some small changes and talked about the “complexities” and team burdens under the NASCAR rulebook after an appeal reduced a penalty given to driver Chris Buescher and his team at Kansas Speedway.

Keselowski compared the NASCAR rulebook a bit to the IRS tax code during practice and qualifying Saturday at Nashville Superspeedway for Sunday night’s Cracker Barrel 400.

“You read this paper and then you got to reference this paper to reference this paper to reference this paper, and when your head’s down and digging and you’re running 38 weeks a year, oversights are going to happen,” Keselowski said.

The co-owner of RFK Racing said that’s not an excuse. Keselowski said the team changed some roles and responsibilities this week to help the team be “better prepared and more mindful of what it takes to to be in compliance.”

NASCAR penalized Buescher and his team May 15 for illegal modifications to the bumper of his No. 17 Ford at Kansas. The team was docked 60 driver points, 60 owner points, five driver playoff points and five owner playoff points for the level one violation. It also fined the team $75,000 and suspended crew chief Scott Graves from the next two races: the All-Star Race and the Coca-Cola 600.

Those penalties came three days after Buescher finished eighth at Kansas and dropped him from 12th to 24th in the Cup Series point standings.

RFK Racing appealed and had a partial win Wednesday with the appeals panel ruling the team violated the rule on the front bumper cover but not the exhaust cover panel.

Buescher got back 30 points, moving him to 16th in the Cup Series points standing. That’s a slot below the playoff cutline and six points behind RFK Racing teammate Ryan Preece.

Denny Hamlin will make his 700th start in the NASCAR Cup Series Sunday at Nashville Superspeedway.

The statement, however, comes with a caveat. Hamlin will make his 700th start as long as he doesn’t get the call that fiancé Jordan Fish has gone into labor with their third child. Fish is due Sunday.

“It’s obviously any minute,” Hamlin said before practice and qualifying for the Cracker Barrel 400. “I think Ryan [Truex] has been fitted in there, and if I get a call, I’ve got to go.”

Truex is Joe Gibbs Racing’s reserve driver for any situation where they need a substitute. He and Hamlin are of similar size, so the No. 11 team should not have to make much of a seat change if Truex has to get behind the wheel.

Hamlin, as of now, plans to stay in Nashville overnight, but he acknowledged there’s probably time he needs to set aside for when the decision needs to be made about having to go home since there is an eight-hour window where he’ll no longer be able to make both events happen (the race and the birth).

“Oh, yeah,” Hamlin said about the possibility that he wouldn’t race Sunday. “I can’t miss it. I certainly have to be there for her, and that’s the biggest priority. I wish she would hang on a little bit longer.”

NASCAR will allow a waiver for a driver who misses an event because of the birth of a child. It is one of the few exceptions where a driver can request and be granted one.

Hamlin will be the 22nd driver to reach 700 career starts.

The Virginia native made his first Cup Series start with Joe Gibbs in the fall Kansas Speedway race on Oct. 9, 2005. A year later, he won two races and was crowned Rookie of the Year. Since then, he’s won a total of 56 races, among those are three Daytona 500 wins, three in the Southern 500, a Coca-Cola 600 and an All-Star Race.

“It honestly feels good to still be as competitive as I was in [the first start],” Hamlin said. “What I’m most grateful for in all this is that, 700 starts later, I still can go out here and win this weekend. I don’t know if anyone has won it in their 700th, but I’d like to.”

No driver has won in their 700th start. Jeff Gordon is credited with being the driver who has the best finish in his 700th race – a third in his milestone start at Darlington Raceway in 2013.

Hamlin’s career longevity can be attributed to a number of factors – among them, Hamlin has driven for the same team his entire career and still finds enjoyment in putting in the work to get results.

“You don’t take for granted that you’re driving for one of the top three organizations that essentially win all the races,” Hamlin said. “That plays into the statistical columns that have been filled throughout my career. It certainly has been helpful, but I think most of it has been my ability and willingness to adapt to different scenarios, cars, tracks and aero packages. I never stop learning. Every racetrack I go to – it could be the 25th time I’m going to it, but I guarantee you I’m taking something there this weekend that I hadn’t thought of or hadn’t approached that way in the past, so always learning.”
