Planning the racing schedule for next year may not be the first thing on Kyle Larson’s mind after winning Sunday’s thrilling Brickyard 400, but the 2021 Cup Series champion has interest in a second shot at the Indianapolis 500.
While Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick provided a “not yet” to a potential deal for Larson to run the 109th Indy 500, Larson is on board for a sequel.
“We’ve definitely been talking about it,” Larson said in Sunday’s post-race press conference. “I think weighing what’s important to everybody … it sounds good, I’ll say, so far, but things could change, so we’ll see. Obviously, I’d love to do it. I think everybody knows that I would love to do it because, in my mind, I did not get to do it this year. I hope that the pieces can fall into place and we can hopefully get things put together and announce something and get excited about doing the double next year.”
