Kyle Larson was unimpressed after the last training session in front of Indy 500

Indianapolis – all fans need to know about Kyle Larson and how he has to deal with two recently completed wrecks with the second attempt to run 1,100 miles in one day while he is preparing for the Indianapolis 500.

“You see me to crash all the time,” said Larson on Friday after his second crash of his Indianapolis 500 cars in the past three weeks. “I don't think it usually affects me.”

Nothing really seems to disturb Larson, except perhaps the constant questions of how he will deal with the physical stress of the competition in the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day when he is worried about the weather and what differences are between an Indycar and a warehouse.

Crash a car? It is easy to roll your back.

“I'm trying to look at the positive ones,” said Larson. “I don't want to crash, but I crashed.

“I learned a lot. I am sure that the team will look at the data and learn a lot from it, my teammates.”

For the relaxed Larson, the double is another challenge in the context of a racing career, which includes a cup title and 32 victories in the top series from Nascar as well as several victories in the top spint car and dirt fashion events.

Few doubts his ability to possibly only become the second driver who has ever completed all 1,100 miles at the largest event in sport and one of the most famous races in Nascar. Only Tony Stewart was in 2001 with sixth place in Indy and third place in Charlotte.

But for a driver it can be an overwhelming experience to experience the Indy 500. Not for Larson. He compared it to everyone to become parents.

“Often people here with the Speedway emphasize for no reason with the Speedway and” This is the craziest breed in the world, and this is the wildest thing they ever do in their life, and the qualifying and that, “said Larson.” And you are how, maybe it's crazy. '

“But after you did it, it is just normal. Everyone has determined the expectations as if it were getting wild, and nothing was too wild just because I expected everything to be crazy. It is as if you have a child and everyone likes my god, it is the most difficult in the world. ' And if you have your baby, it's like: 'Oh, that's normal.' “

The NASCAR CUP series -leader Larson admits that this may be his last attempt for a while to do the double. It requires a monumental logistical exertion, and its only indycar start was in the 500 last year, where he had wiped off a potential top 10 finish from a speed penalty from Pit-Road penalties and took 18th place.

When he completed the rain -delayed Indy 500, the Cola 600 had already started. Larson came to Charlotte as soon as possible, but rain arrived with him and the 600 ended to a rain -shortened event. Larson never climbed into his Cup car, which was driven by Justin Allgaier.

Allgaier will be again in the cup car if Larson cannot be in it, but Larson has undertaken to achieve the 600. New Nascar rules determine whether he does not start the race, he loses all of his playoff points in the regular season, which could have a strong influence on his ability to advance the cup playoffs. The director of the Arrow McLaren team, Tony Kanaan, will drive the 500 when Larson leaves before the race begins.

“Kyle is a real racing driver,” said Kanaan, a former Indy 500 winner, whose organization Larsons Indy 500 car drives in collaboration with Hendrick. “I don't think I have to sit here and talk about its properties because I think the results show it.

“But Kyle's greatest advantage is that he fits pretty quickly because he drives everything. He complains much less than all of us. … the first two days [of Indy practice, he says]”The car is okay, the car is fine.” You can see how engineers a little like 'Whoa, it can't be okay. “

Kanaan realized that it was okay when he got into the car on Thursday to make a few laps if Larson has to leave Indianapolis because the weather came to Charlotte.

Larson and Kanaan were teammates to win the Rolex 24 in Daytona in 2015, and Kanaan expects Larson to thrive.

“He was amazed at me when he was pretty young. No background to the road course, came in with me and with me [Scott] Dixon there was the same lap time in the breed, “said Kanaan.” Thank God he is in Nascar, not in Indycar. “

Larson is still a newcomer to IndyCar, and the biggest difference in the car is the hybrid system that adds around £ 100th to the back of the car. It has to drive the car harder and drive more nervously. Larson destroyed twice in qualifying setup, once at the Indy 500 test a few weeks ago and then on Friday in practice.

“If you turn the boost for your speed round, it's usually like 'Oh my god.' They fly, “said Larson about the wreck when they made rounds of about 215 to 220 miles per hour. “But it didn't feel as crazy as the open test when I turned it open for the first time.

“So I am glad that the speed doesn't really frighten me or something. As long as the car is in order, we are fine.”

The team had repaired the car and Larson was stopped for qualifying on Saturday.

Larson takes over it in Spride and he said he felt just as excited this year as last year.

“It doesn't feel like work,” said Larson. “It's the same. I'm not too excessively excited about anything. It just seems to be normal like another race week.”

But there seems to be a bit of difference. While the limelight is still there, everyone is more used to seeing Larson in Indianapolis.

“I feel last year because it was my first time, I have the feeling that I did a really good job to take everything and spend time to sign every single autograph and make all the rookie things that I had to do,” said Larson.

“This year seems to be a bit quieter. But it is still much larger than any other event I can walk.”

Doesn't that add pressure? At least for the legacy of a driver who viewed one of the current big racing drivers worldwide?

“Say it is not a good thing, I say DNF [don’t finish] Both run, I don't think it is doing something, “said Larson about his inheritance.” But if you do good, it definitely helps. So this part of it is cool.

“But it's not really something I think about at the moment. Maybe down the street when you are at the end of your career. At the moment I don't really think of the old side.
