NASCAR driver Kyle Larson is set to make a remarkable attempt to compete in both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, which takes place on Sunday, May 25, 2025. This ambitious challenge places Larson in an exclusive group as he becomes the sixth driver in history to undertake the “double,” aiming to join the ranks of those who have successfully completed both races in one day.
The Coca-Cola 600 is scheduled to kick off at 6 p.m. ET at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, and will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime starting with coverage at 5 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis 500 will commence earlier that day at 10 a.m. ET, with coverage available on FOX and streaming options such as INDYCAR LIVE, Fox Sports, and Fubo.
Notably, only four other drivers have managed to race in both events on the same day: John Andretti, Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart, and Kurt Busch. Each of these drivers faced various challenges during their attempts. For instance, Tony Stewart became the first driver to complete the grueling 1,100 miles across both races.
Larson’s endeavor not only highlights his exceptional skills as a driver but also exemplifies the competitive spirit that permeates motorsports. Fans are eager to see if he can make history by succeeding where others have triumphed or stumbled.
As Larson prepares for this demanding feat, it underscores the excitement and unpredictability of auto racing, offering hope to fans who cherish the thrill of competition on the track.
