Fresh off his NASCAR championship win, Ryan Blaney expressed his desire to participate in the double, meaning racing in both the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend. Team owner Roger Penske, who also owns Indianapolis Motor Speedway, was intrigued by the idea. Kyle Larson has already secured a deal to run the double next year, marking his versatility as a driver. Blaney has considered attempting this challenge for a few years and may bring it up again in the future. While he doesn’t have an open-wheel background, Blaney is drawn to the challenge of completing 1,100 miles in both races and the prestige that comes with it.
