BREAKING NEWS: Kyle Larson Says Only One Thing Can Stop Him From Racing Immortality at Indy—And It’s Not the Competition*read more👇

Kyle Larson, Hendrick Motorsports’ superstar, is revving up for a second attempt at the legendary “Double Duty” — racing both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, May 25, 2025. But in a candid moment on The Dale Jr. Download, Larson revealed that there’s one unpredictable factor threatening his shot at motorsports immortality: Indianapolis weather.

 

“Weather’s the one thing I can’t control,” Larson admitted, reflecting on the historic tendency for rain delays to shake up the Indy 500. After finishing 18th in his 2024 debut—hampered by a pit road speeding penalty—Larson remains determined, now backed by a $3 million partnership between Rick Hendrick and Arrow McLaren.

 

Despite the intense physical and mental challenge of 1,100 miles in a single day, it’s Mother Nature—not the competition—that looms as Larson’s biggest obstacle. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) are rallying behind him, hopeful he’ll not only complete both races but etch his name alongside legends like Tony Stewart.

 

Rain or shine, Larson’s relentless focus and talent have him primed for greatness. But when it comes to Indy, even legends can’t outrun the clouds.
