Kudos to Rick Hendrick for giving Larson the opportunity to race his dream in his prime.

Yeah Mr. H and Jeff were nice enough to put this together for Larson. He's gonna win this, he's won in practically everything else.

@@SamuelDuplessis12I don’t like Larson that much (bc he always wins, wouldn’t really say he’s the max Verstappen of NASCAR, just the fact that whenever he wins nobody is to surprised), but if he places in the top 3 or 5 in the Indy 500, then place good in the Coca-cola 400 or 600 (I get it mixed up), then that’ll be amazing to see

@@timezero7443 He doesn't always win in NASCAR. AFA F1 it's follow the leader/money. It's the 600 and the only person to complete both races was Tony Stewart in 2001. He finished 6th in the 500 and after starting from the back in the 600 finished 3rd.
I like the rows of bricks on the helmet. If there was ever anyone in the modern era that can do a one off IndyCar drive in the Indy 500, without prior IndyCar experience, it's Larson.

I haven't watched it in years but I am for sure not going to miss this one. It could be historic to see Kyle kissing on those bricks.
When Robin Miller (Rest in Peace) was so adamant for Larson to get a shot at Indy, that's saying something. Wishing Kyle nothing but success this month. I think he definitely recognizes the 500 is all about precision and any bold risks must be very calculated. I think he'll do just fine, and hopefully keeps coming back in the years ahead. Go Kyle 🏁
Larson doing the double should make for an interesting race day. I hope he does well.

@@larryhenderson2319 Over-rated, no. He succeeds in everything he does. Doubt he finishes in the top 10 in Indy this year, but given the chance to continue with Indy, he can DEFINITELY be successful. He qualified for the 500, right? Not even mildly close to easy if you've never driven an Indy car before. Over-hyped though...yeah, I guess I can agree with that. I'll tell you what though...people are excited to witness his ascension in motorsports. I know that I myself, have NEVER in my 53 years, seen talent this good, across multiple forms of racing.

Can we get 30mins practice Highlights for every day pls. Than yall would be goated
Gotta love the helmet!
Right on Kyle🏁🏁🏁🏁
The interviewer spoke of 'practice laps' being common in Nascar, Kyle did not correct him. At most Nascar races, you qualify, then race, with zero practice! There may be exceptions, but the old days of a 'practice session' a la Indycar are long gone!
They coined a phrase back in the 1990's about some rookie being the "flavor of the month". I believe they stole it from Baskin-Robbins. There have been several. T/he first was Steve Kinser, then Jack Hewett. There have been others, like when a Danica first ran there. Even though it doesn't last the whole month like it used to, Kyle is definitely the 2024 "flavor of the month".
Good luck "Wheel Man"!!
My opinion and im sticking with it. You dont make it in Racing untill you have Raced the Indy 500
Can’t wait for May 26.
use Tony and talk to other racers as much as u can, that will help u the most Kyle!
Go McLaren!!
Great.!
Getting enough seat time between now and race time will be the key. He can drive anything else why not an Indy car? I bet the amazing grip that these cars have is something different for him to get used to and know just how far he can push the car before it breaks loose. He will have to have a few spinouts to find that out. I have all the faith in the world in his ability, it's just the time crunch. I was there once and unless you are there for the parties and the atmosphere you can see the race better via camera. We ended up in the motorhome enjoying the a/c doing just that the time I was there! It would be historic to see Kyle kissing those bricks. Which by the way are Trimble bricks that the whole speedway used to be paved with and were made not but a mile from where I live. Only a 'Historic site plaque' remains where the brickyard plant that made them was once located. As long as Kyle is racing I will be watching with my Larson t-shirt on.
Yung Money...show 'em where the name came from...
Sucks it's not on tv
good to see callum Ilott back he needs a full time seat again
He’s not going to put his car up front. Driving an Indy car isn’t easy

Would say he took couple Tylenol after last night
Weird seeing a rookie larson
