33 cars will start a journey, where Kyle Larson will cover 1,100 miles, and will cover a pair of checkers in the history of Motorsport.
For the second season for the second season for the second season, Indianapolis will appear in the first competition in 500, then Larson, Christian Lundgaard and Nolan Siegel, to travel to Charlotte, then driving for Larson axis.
In his attempt, let’s fall in the history of “double” last season, what could be a key to the plans of the table for Larson and the plans of the Motorsport date.
“Double?” What is it?
Let’s start with a basic question: exactly, “Double?”
Double, as above, a driver trying to compete in two of the most influential competitions in all Motorsport in all of the same day: Indianapolis 500 and later NASCAR Coca-Cola 600, Charlotte Motor Speedway was held. Indianapolis is one of the three competitions in 500 – Formula 1 organizes 1 MONACO Grand Prix and 24 hours of Le Mans – Motorsport’s three crowns.
Coca-Cola is 600 (previously World 600) NASCAR Table and is one of the largest competitions in the Daytona with 500 of the season.
Double, the drivers do not overcome 1100 miles on two different races and are also a physical and mental problem that requires you to master two different races.
No one is “double?”
14 drivers attempted Last season Larson’s doubles in the history of Motorsport.
However, only one handful of drivers have tried when both events are in that day, and only one driver Tony Stewart managed to complete each period.
Junior Johnson was the first to double, back during the 1963 season. However, the NASCAR Cup champion completes the world 600 in the 600, Indianapolis did not match 500.
This year, two races fell on different days, and other drivers tested in the next few years, or prevented different days or planning problems, along with the weekend in NASCAR race with 500 years.
When the lights were installed in Charlotte Motor Speedway in 1992, the night race was allowed. In 1993, Coca-Cola was transferred to 400, startup (East) 4:30 and was further increased by opening a travel window in 1994.
The next season allowed to double-act.
The first driver was John Andretti for the “same day” to try to double, and again in 1994. He was qualified for both incidents and finished 500 tenth part of Indianapolis before flying to Charlotte. He missed the drivers and started behind and fell into 220 laps with engine failure.
Davy Jones worked double in 1995, but Coca-Cola did not fit for 600.
In 1997, Robby Gordon was in accordance with both competitions, but also went to charlot in the 41st place of Indianapolis. To a fire that ends 29th.
Tony Stewart’s first attempt for 24’s in 1999 in 1999, was 24th for Indianapolis 500. He finished the ninth time in this race that completed 500 miles from 500 miles. Then he flew into Charlotte, which he finished the fourth in Coca-Cola 600.
However, Stewart became the first driver in 2001 to complete all of the two competitions in the same day to complete the 1,100 miles. In 2001, Indianapolis ended 500 and in the arms of the lead. The statement came from Charlotte and drivers to start the Coca-Cola 600 and stood in the 2nd arms and arms of the 2nd lap.
On the same day, it remains the only driver who completes all of the two competitions by 1,100 miles.
Gordon, but also Kyle Busch, since then he has been trying to double, but what driver could not complete all 1100 miles.
What happened in the first “Hendrick 1100”?
Last year, Larson’s first attempt, dubbed doubly tried “Hendrick 1100“Hendrick Motorsports 500 in Indianapolis in Indianapolis, 500 in Indianapolis, 500 decided to stand 500, and this was a hole traffic speed limit.
Charlotte Justin AllgaIer was ready as a relief driver and was driving the first 249 state of Coca-Cola 600. Larson, the suspension of the race came to Charlotte as a weather delay.
The race was convened by NASCAR officials for a long delay and the difficulty of drying the road.
Larson now returned to the second crack, and he will start 21st in SpanishPolis.
Thursday, Larson, this in the day of the media, he admitted that it was a little dried, but will be ready to go.
“Out of the car, this year is logistics. It went to New York and went to a full day there and then went here.” Said Larson, including Sb nation. “Yesterday there were more media products, and then you have a media day today. Three days.
“I’ll be happy when today is done.”
He also acknowledged that this was the second attempt, the less attention was paid and he was able to fly more “under the radar”.
“Yes, I like it very much.” But I felt crazy, crazy last year.
“It’s been fine. It’s normal and I like it this way.”
Why Larson can be forced to leave Indy 500
This year has a double attempt to have an extra wrinkle.
NASCAR, changing the rules of the playoff Watchers, letting a driver who missed a racing driver, allowing a driver who had a refused driver in the Play. Watcher will still be available for drivers who missed the playoffs, they will still miss any playoff points collected before that point in the season and get no future playoff points.
This rule Coca-Cola 600 means Larson has a priority and causing weather delay in weather, will start charlotte.
In that scenario, the arrow has a plan of McLaren and an incredible plan.
SpanishPolis 500 will call the first to get their place.
This is Tony Kanaan, Arrow McLaren’s team team and the winner of 2013 Indianapolis, this month ended a veteran’s specialist in a veteran in Indianapolis Motor Speedway and is ready to go if the team needs him.
