The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion is attempting to run his second consecutive Indianapolis 500 while also striving to finally complete the rare 'Double' in May. On Wednesday, he clocked in 11th on the time sheets and ran 67 laps without issue.
However, Thursday's practice has not gone nearly as smooth. Kyle Larson was making his first mock qualifying run of the day with boost turned up when the incident occurred. Larson missed the bottom in Turn 1, pushing high as his No. 17 Arrow McLaren-Hendrick Chevrolet got tight. He then pancaked the outside wall along the SAFER Barrier, breaking the right front suspension. Unable to control the car, he became a passenger as he slammed the Turn 2 wall as well.
