Kyle Larson falls from both Indy 500, Coca-Cola 600: 'A crap one day'

Indianapolis – Kyle Larsons search for 1,100 miles in one day ended after 91 rounds of the Indianapolis 500 when he destroyed shortly before the race.

Larson took 27th place in the Indy 500 and left shortly after the crash that Charlotte Motor Speedway took part in the Nascar Cup series Coca-Cola 600, where things didn't go much better than he destroyed shortly after halfway.

In Charlotte he led 34 laps until he turned in round 43 and came back into the lead with the free pass when caution came out in round 200 and then collected in round 246 in an accident and ended his race. He ended the 37th place.

“A crap one day,” said Larson in Charlotte.

It was Echos from Indianapolis.

“I'm just amazed,” said Larson. “I'm just very disappointed.”

The Hendrick Motorsports driver is the fifth who begins both races on the same day, but only one driver – Tony Stewart – completed all 1,100 miles when he did it in 2001.

“The best therapy is to get back to the wheel,” said Larson on the Sunday after his second Indycar race. “Fortunately, I only have a few hours before I'm at the wheel again. As soon as we penetrated the engines up there, I will forget it.”

Larson's wreck occurred when he followed Takuma Sato, and he tried to duck to the left and turned. The wreck also took out Kyffin Simpson and Sting Ray Robb.

“We were just involved in the restart and I was very close to Takuma in front of me and somehow had any look behind him [toward the surface] And I shot, “said Larson.

“I hate that I caused this crash and hate that others were collected in it. I hate it for … everyone who has caused a lot to make this effort possible.”

The day for Larson, who used to be on the Pit Road, was not great that had put him in the middle of the pack.

Before the race started, things didn't go in the way either. Drizzle delayed the green flag by 48 minutes and there was a good chance that Larson had to retire from the race before it ended.

For the NASCAR rules, a driver must start each race in order to be entitled to the playoffs. If you miss a race, you have to get a waiver from the rule. Last year, after more than a week of consideration, when Larson has never started in the Charlotte race after a rainy delayed Indy 500, Nascar granted the waiver.

Larson, the leader of the cup series, said he did not know if he had to retire early Sunday.

“I don't know that I don't concentrate very much on it,” said Larson, who drove an arrow McLaren car in Indy. “When I was there for 45 minutes [before the race]It was in my head. But when we got races, I wasn't worried about it. “

The amazed Larson stated that he was not sure whether he would like to try the double again.

“I don't know,” said Larson. “It is a big investment, and it is not good for two years in a row, I just don't think it's really worth it at this time.”
