Kyle Larson to resume Indy 500 preparations with Phoenix IndyCar test
After finishing fifth in NASCAR’s preseason exhibition at the Los Angeles Coliseum, Kyle Larson will now focus on preparing for his first attempt at the Indianapolis 500. The test at the one-mile Phoenix tri-oval is considered a rookie evaluation for Larson’s team, Arrow McLaren. Larson will be supported by Tony Kanaan, the 2013 Indy 500 winner and Sporting Director for Arrow McLaren. If rain affects the test on Tuesday, there are no plans to make up for the lost track time the following day. Larson’s only other scheduled on-track running is the Indy 500 Open Test in April. He is confident that the additional laps and studying will help him perform well in May’s race and hopes to complete the Memorial Day Weekend Double, competing in both the Indy 500 and the 600-mile Cup race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the same day.
