While Kyle Larson's attempt at the Memorial Day Double was tarnished with rain, it didn't stop the driver from making his way to Charlotte Motor Speedway but, the rain followed. After hours of drivers and teams sitting and waiting to go back to racing for 151 miles, the race was called.
Timing was not on Kyle Larson's side for running the full double, but that didn't stop the Hendricks driver from at least trying; after finishing 18th and leading four laps in the four-hour delayed Indy 500, Larson headed to Charlotte Motor Speedway with the Coca-Cola 600 well underway. Larson arrived by helicopter, seemingly riding in with the storm, as a yellow was thrown for lightning in the area.
Justin Allgaier filled in for Larson, and the team planned for a mid-race swap; what they didn't plan for was for the rain to follow Larson directly, with a yellow coming out for weather right as Larson's helicopter came into sight.As a relief driver, Larson will not gain any points from his finish in this race, and if he wins it, Allgaier's name goes into the record books.
