After qualifying fifth for his first Indianapolis 500, Kyle Larson flew to North Wilkesboro and finished fourth in the NASCAR All-Star Race.
NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. — Kyle Larson is such a talented race-car driver, for a racing accomplishment to rank as special has to truly be something extraordinary. The NASCAR Cup Series points leader did just that, turning the fastest qualifying lap ever by a rookie in Indianapolis 500 history Saturday with a speed of 233.453 mph and the second-fastest ever four-lap qualifying average by a rookie at 232.846 Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
'It's been comfortable every time I've hit the track, so that that helps you relieve pressure knowing that you're in a fast car,' Larson said. 'I've just really tried to enjoy the experience, enjoy the moment.' Assuming nothing crazy happens between now and Sunday, Larson will become the fifth driver to start both races on the same day. Larson's scramble Sunday was his first weekend of hectic travel. He will do it again next weekend.
