Few motorsports stars have the resume that Cup Series stalwart Kyle Larson possesses.
Driving the No. 5 for Hendrick Motorsports, Larson has achieved more than your average 31-year old, even by NASCAR standards. He’s already a 25-time race winner, a Cup Series champion and a member of NASCAR’s greatest drivers list.
On Sunday, he’ll look to achieve an even more impressive feat: becoming one of just four drivers to complete the Memorial Day Double.

Larson is set to compete at both Indiana Motor Speedway for the Indy 500 and Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600, one of NASCAR’s crown jewel races.
John Andretti, Tony Stewart, Robby Gordon and Kurt Busch are the only drivers to lead their humble steeds through both races on the same day. Only Stewart — a former IndyCar and Cup Series champion — was able to finish both races on the lead lap.
Larson is as formidable as they come in the cockpit of a stock car. Does such skill translate on open wheels? Only time will tell.

(All times Eastern.)
11:15 a.m. — Larson’s efforts to complete “The Double” could be hindered by rain at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The track is monitoring a storm cell approaching the track around noon, and that could impact the event’s scheduled 12:45 p.m. ET start time.
The race has not yet been delayed, but if it is, Larson’s window to get from Indianapolis to Charlotte after the Indy 500 would presumably shrink. The good news is that after the noon cell, the heavier rain in Indianapolis is expected to hold off until later in the night, so IMS may be able to get the race in.
