Heartbreak forKyle Larsonfor a second straight year. One year after a rain delay kept Larson from completing the "The Double" – finishing both the IndyCarIndianapolis 500and NASCARCoca-Cola 600in Charlotte, North Carolina on the same day – Larson's second attempt has failed after he crashed out of the Indy 500. Larson was less than halfway into his first race of the day when he spun out entering a turn. His Arrow McLaren crashed into two other drivers – Sting Ray Robb and Kyffin Simpson – before slamming into the wall rear-first on Lap 92. The resulting damage caused all three drivers to withdraw from the race early. Kyle Larson is massively disappointed he "caused the crash" and can't complete the#Indy500portion of The Double.

"Got kind of aero tight behind him, and as I peeked left ... I spun. "Hate that I caused that crash, hate that others got collected in it, and really just hate it for Arrow McLaren and (NASCAR team Hendrick Motorsports owner) Rick Hendrick – everybody that put a lot into making this effort possible. Just bummed out, really."
