That's pretty cool, I remember when Tony Stewart did that (at least I think he did???) I was wondering if anyone ever did the double anymore. Admittingly I don't follow racing too much anymore but I might just have to tune in for this one/two.

He better learn really quickly that Indy cars are a world of no touch.

In 2014 Kurt Busch finished the Indianapolis 500 in 6th place earning him the ROOKIE OF THE YEAR award. He went on to the Coca Cola 600 but had a DNF because of engine failure.

Interesting, I'm sure it's grueling to run both races but it would be cool to see someone win both on the same day!

He can drive. But he has a tendency to be way over aggressive. Indy is a world of no touch. I will be very surprised if he is running on lap 200.

Been a few that have tried but I don’t remember any of them winning either race Hopefully I’ll be fishing that weekend but I guarantee my hopper will be set for both. Don’t watch much anymore either but these two I like watching

That ALLSTAR race was boring. Yeah Larson led 146 of 200….The heat races sat were good especially when they put wet weather tires on and ran. Most Allstar races are boring IMO…One Hot night and the Allstar race they all wrecked on lap one and unloaded Back up cars are my 2 favorites.

It will be interesting to see if he can get a top 10 finish at INDY.
