Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson attempted The Double today for the second time, which consisted of completing the Indy 500 and the NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 in the same day.
After attempting the feat last year but failing to pull it off due to weather delays, the 32-year-old driver set his sights on making it happen this year.
However, after starting from 19th on the grid, Larson crashed out of the Indy 500 on the 92nd lap at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. While speaking to the media after visiting the infield center, Larson explained:
"It was a bit crazy there on the start.

Just hate that I got a little too eager there on the restart and caused that crash. So, hate it for everybody that also got caught up in it.
"Just bummed out, so I'll try to get over this quickly and get on to Charlotte, and just forgot about it."
During an interview with FOX Sports reporter Bob Pockrass, Larson commented on when he thought he would have been able to finish the race if he had not crashed. He said:
"I don't know. I wasn't too focused on that."
Addressing the initial delay of the start of the Indy 500 due to wet weather conditions, he added:
"When I'm sitting there for 45 minutes, it was on my mind, but once we got racing, I wasn't really worried about that."
Larson arrived at Charlotte Motor Speedway in time to start the Coca-Cola 600.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver currently leads the drivers' NASCAR Cup Series standings.
