Justin Haley "turned down one or two" rides for the Indianapolis 500
A 24-year-old driver is expected to join Rick Ware Racing’s NASCAR Cup Series program in 2024. One of their partnerships has been with Dale Coyne Racing since 2020. The ‘Memorial Day Double’ involves a driver competing in both the Indianapolis 500 and the 600-mile Cup race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and has attracted interest from drivers like Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch. Kyle Larson, the 2021 Cup Series champion, will attempt the ‘Double’ this year. Haley, however, has turned down opportunities to participate in the Indy 500 in the past. As an Indiana native, he has watched the race and admits it would be fun, but he wants to focus on his current career in the Cup Series. Team president Robby Benton is open to the possibility, but Haley hasn’t shown much interest yet.
