Kyle Larson to resume Indy 500 preparations with Phoenix IndyCar test
NASCAR Cup star Kyle Larson will be on track in an IndyCar for the first time in 2024 when he tests for Arrow McLaren at Phoenix on Tuesday.
www.autosport.comKyle Larson has been active in Indy 500-related efforts in recent years, but I don’t have live results in this chat. Here’s the latest context I can share up to now:
- Reports from 2025 indicated Larson was back at Indianapolis for the Indy 500 as part of a multi-entry effort with Arrow McLaren and Hendrick-affiliated programs, aiming to compete in both the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. For context, these plans were described as part of Larson’s continued pursuit of “The Double” in 2025.[1][3][6]
- Preseason Indy 500 activity in 2024-2025 included testing and refresher laps to prepare for the May race, with Larson participating in open tests and PR events as part of his IndyCar program.[2][8]
- Media coverage around that period emphasized the ongoing negotiation of schedules and potential conflicts with NASCAR Cup duties, but did not confirm a definitive outcome for every Indy 500 attempt in 2025/2026.[6][7][1]
Would you like me to pull the very latest updates now and summarize who qualified, how Larson finished, and any notable incidents from the current Indy 500 weekend? I can also track whether he’s racing the Indy 500 this year and how it affected his NASCAR schedule, with citations.
