CONCORD, N.C. — Kyle Larson’s “double” started with rain and ended with it.
Rain delayed the start of the Indianapolis 500 for four hours and spoiled Larson’s plans to start both the 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 near Charlotte on the same day. Larson finished 18th in the Indianapolis 500, while the Cup race ended at lap 120 of the 400-lap event at Charlotte Motor Speedway due to rain.
Larson jetted to North Carolina and landed just as a heavy rain storm arrived about 100 minutes after the end of the Indianapolis 500. He would have gotten into the Hendrick Motorsports car if the race resumed, but NASCAR didn’t resume the event and called it official as they were past halfway with 249 of 400 laps completed.
Justin Allgaier started the Hendrick Motorsports No. 5 car at Charlotte and finished 13th….
