Could Kyle Larson Be In the 100th Running Of The Indy 500?
This article was posted on the NSSN website today. I REALLY hope Ganassi decides to prepare a car for Kyle to attempt to qualify next year's Indy 500. I may be way off base here but I just have a feeling Larson would be pretty good in an Indy Car.
Keeping fingers crossed that this deal materializes!!
INDIANAPOLIS — Kyle Larson has visions of Indy cars dancing in his head.
The open-wheel ace and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regular said during an appearance on behalf of Chevrolet Friday morning during the PRI Trade Show that he “is constantly bugging” team owner Chip Ganassi to let him have a crack at one of his Indy cars.
Larson, who drives Ganassi’s No. 42 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, sat in one of teammate Scott Dixon’s Verizon IndyCar Series machines earlier this week and sent a photograph of him in the car to Ganassi.
“I sent him the picture,” Larson said. “He basically told me that I needed to win a Cup race before I worry about getting in an Indy car.”
Larson said he’d be very interested in racing an Indy car, especially the Indianapolis 500.
“I would love to run the Indy 500,” Larson said. “I bug Chip about it all the time. I would love to be a part of the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500. I am going to keep bugging Chip about it.”
